Horace Vernet 1839
During the Finnish harvest festival Kekri people believed that the spirits of the ancestors were on the move. It was appropriate for the living people to go outside only if they were dressed as spirits. People went from door to door asking for beer and food. #FolkloreThursday
Never forget gods can be exceptionally cruel: Ra got tired of how loud humanity had become, and so sent Sekhmet the lioness to destroy mankind. Such was the devastation that, like a slasher film parody, the world was flooded with red blood, so Ra called it off. #FolkloreThursday
A frightful Swedish spirit, the mara rides her victim in their sleep, delivering mardrömmar (nightmares) and a bad night’s rest in general. #FolkloreThursday 🖼 Joakim Skovgaard and Carl-Martin Bergstrand

#FolkloreThursday On Halloween night hold up a mirror and walk backwards down stairs reciting:
"Whoever my true love is to be
Come and look in this glass with me."
If a face appears looking over your shoulder it will be who you will marry, but a coffin means you will die⚰️.

The #Cyhyraeth is a #Welsh 'Weeper'. It is heard groaning before a death, especially multiple deaths.
Its doleful sound is heard first at a distance, then nearer, then close at hand; so that it is a three-fold warning of death.

It is unlucky to uproot Periwinkle from a grave 🌱
The dead will appear to the person who takes it and his dreams for the next twelve months will be very wretched and miserable 💀

The gruesome French tale of Bluebeard. Leaving his new wife alone, Bluebeard tells her not to open a specific door. She does,falling into a bloodbath! With bodies of old wives hanging from the walls! Not able to clean the blood from the key; revealing her demise!#FolkloreThursday
#FolkloreThursday Fantasmagoriana, a French anthology of German ghost stories, plays a key rol in the genesis of Frankenstein and The Vampyre during the "wet, ungenial summer" of 1816 #31daysofHalloween https://t.co/tRW6ju3e9I
Phobos (who lends his name to the word 'Phobia') is the Greek God of fear. The lion-headed Phobos stalked battlefields with his brother Deimos (Dread). Fear is part of Halloween, and the wise or unlucky know that fear of death is the least of it. #FolkloreThursday (Art by me)
The blackthorn rules the dark half of the year from #Samhain. It is dark moon magic, an “increaser of secrets.” Its thorns are the pins in a poppet, its wands used for cursing. A tree protected by faeries, its berries are the sloe. #FolkloreThursday #Halloween Img: Cicely Barker
