Kašč or Kaščej Biesśmiarotny is a figure in the Slavic folklore. It is difficult to say who he is and where he came from, but it is well known that he is a very powerful and evil sorcerer. For centuries he was chained, but was released by cunning. #FaustianFriday

Frau Holle has power over the ice and snow in Germanic folklore, as well as a willingness to mete out reward and punishment. While East of the Sun and West of the Moon doesn't specifically mention snow (that I remember!), the girl travels through all weather.

The Wendistrix is a creature I made for @Protochroma, based on both the Wendigo (a Native American folklore creature) and the barn owl.
Though they have terrifying appearances and eating habits, they're actually quite intelligent and non-aggressive to researchers.
Some sparkling, vintage editions of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen for your day ❄️💙 #FolkloreThursday
Winter is the Cailleach's, the first snow her cloak laid down. She travels the Gaelic Celtic world, often with her husband, the trickster Bodach, and their children. Often seen as cruel and harsh, she gives blessings and wisdom too, to those who are kind to her. #FolkloreThursday
The giant’s selfishness brought Winter to his garden. Only Jack Frost played in the snow, he stayed through Spring and into Summer. Never had the giant felt so sad - only kindness could banish the cold. #Illustration Bill Bell. #FolkloreThursday #ice
Thank you #FolkloreThursday for all your chilly winter lore. This is @MythCrafts heading off to warm up, but the wonderful @WillowWinsham will be back with you all after the break.

❄️🌱❄️Superstition warned against bringing snowdrops into a house, claiming that the flowers would summon bad luck, sickness or even death - but a brighter belief says that the very first one you see growing in Spring will grant you a wish.
