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

A palis is a vampiric creature of Middle Eastern lore that lives in deserts. It drains people's blood by licking their feet while they sleep. But it's repelled by salt, & can easily be tricked if two people sleep end-to-end with the soles of their feet together. #FolkloreThursday
