Carpenters in Wales said that they often heard the tolaeth or death-sound before they were asked to make a coffin. They would hear the of sawing wood, banging of nails or turning of screws as a ghastly echo of coffin-making in portent of the coming task. #FolkloreThursday
In Greek mythology, weaving was often the work of women. One of the most famous tales was of Penelope, who used weaving to keep her suitors at bay while her husband Odysseus was away. She told them she would not choose one to marry until she had finished...

The fable of "The Crow and the Pitcher" has a very thirsty crow unable to reach the water inside a pitcher.
Thanks to his ingenuity, he drops pebbles inside the pitcher to make the water raise, a proof to his cunning and hard work.

The Tailor of Gloucester by @beatrixpotter was based on a true incident.
A tailor named Pritchard, making a suit for the new mayor, returned to his shop to find the suit finished save for one buttonhole. He encouraged the belief that it was fairywork. #FolkloreThursday
#Bees symbolise wealth attained through hard work. They belong to Hera, Mother Goddess of the #moon, & are therefore linked to the sign of Cancer, also known for its love of hard work. #Honey is the ambrosia of the Goddess, & symbolises richness & abundance. #FolkloreThursday
Norwegian fishermen used to believe that one of the greatest dangers associated with working at sea was Draugen, a sea monster thought to be the ghost of a drowned fisherman. If they heard eerie screaming at sea, Draugen was nearby and someone would drown.

similar to a Brownie, a Hob-thross appears in Cumbrian folklore. One, nicknamed Tawney Boy lived with a family at Overthwaite. Hob-thross will do a great deal of work for a family if treated well. #cumbria

Yacatecuhtli is the Aztec god of commerce & business travelers. His symbol is a bundle of sticks. To honor him, merchants would travel with sticks. At night they'd tie them together & sprinkle them with blood from their ears. This guaranteed success in sales. #FolkloreThursday
More high effort Fire Emblem D&D Character Portraits. This is for a campaign heavily inspired by Japanese history/folklore and is basically a Fantasy Sengoku Jidai.
I used a wonderful smoke effect by @Keyserito for a touch of animated flair. #DnD #OC #pixelart #ドット絵
Seeing a flying stork is said to foreshadow bright futures. In my local folklore, it's said to bring you luck and that you will have a year full journeys.
Although this could very well be a flamingo.
I don't know about their mythos🤷♂️
If you are interested in Japanese folktales, I have a little collection on my website, including tales of #yokai, talking kettles, turtle ghosts and magical journeys under the sea.

I've been asked to tell the West African story of 'The Orphan Child' for a #SouthLondonFilm School event. It's an incredible variant of the Cinderella story with lost souls & a river goddess in the role of the 'fairy godmother'. #folklore #africantales
