The Russian tale Frost is quite shocking to modern readers, as it teaches girls obedience to father figures at all costs to ensure survival. Young Marfa lies & gives Frost the answer he wants to hear, & is thus spared from a freezing death. #FolkloreThursday Img: Rackham, 1916
Chione was the goddess of snow in Greek mythology. She was a daughter of Boreas, god of the wintry north wind. She was also the consort of Poseidon, god of the sea, & mother of Eumolpus who she threw into the sea (it's ok, Poseidon rescued him)

‘Bread and milk for breakfast,
And woollen frocks to wear,
And a crumb for robin redbreast,
On the cold days of the year.’

Forecast winter weather from your hedgerows:
Many haws, many sloes,
Many cold toes.

A yuki-onna only appears on snowy nights. This inhuman entity has blue lips, black & very long hair, & pale (often transparent) skin. She can be very beautiful with the ability to shapeshift into fog or snow, floating above it, she leaves no tracks. #FolkloreThursday
Irish sayings about❄️! If it snowed Christmas Eve🎅, children told geese being plucked in heaven! New moon lucky omen🌑. Mild weather on Christmas Eve was cause for concern because, "A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard"!😲 ©mistletoediary, my house #snow #FolkloreThursday

A Japanese folk tale tells of Yuki-onna, a beautiful snow ghost described as having white skin, long black hair and wearing a white kimono. She blows on her unwary victims freezing them to death & then sucks out their souls through their mouths.

"My plan would be to write a letter. I'd ask Aoife about what a lone hawthorne tree means... in folklore-y terms. I'd tell her of my travels first, and then, I'd ask her. She's bound to know cause she always read for me."
