#FolkloreThursday The a demon badger Broc Sidh terrorised residents of Inchiquin, killing men & cattle. The prayers of 6 priests were unable to subdue the beast but MacCreahy of Clare caught it and tossed it:
‘Deep in that forgotten mere
Among the tumbled fragments of the hills’
My favourite @Usborne Supernatural book when I was growing up was 'Vampires, Werewolves & Demons'. The chap in the middle is Eurynome, a medieval prince of death, who fed on human corpses. The colour pic shows some sort of demon party @FolkloreThurs #FolkloreThursday @AnnaHoworth

Monopods (dwarflike creatures with a single foot) get an early mention in Aristophanes’ 413BC The Birds. Pliny the Elder in his Natural History (77CE) recounts travelers tales that these monsters are to be found in India. #FolkloreThursday
Yorkshire has its very own werewolf - Old Stinker. He is 8foot tall with red eyes, a human face and disgustingly bad breath (hence the name). Sighted since the 18thc, it was spotted again in 2016, prowling around an industrial estate near Hull @FolkloreThurs #FolkloreThursday
The Nucklavee plagues the people living on the isles nearby. It is said that its foul, black breath is poisonous; it comes in on the sea-breeze, blighting crops, spreading illness, and killing livestock as it goes by. #FolkloreThursday 3/5
The Gytrash. One of the most menacing creatures in Northern English folklore. Said to be a gigantic black dog with eyes that shone red like glowing coals, it led unwary, lost travellers astray and to their doom. #FolkloreThursday
#FolkloreThursday What do Jean Grey of the X-Men & Helen of Troy have in common?
Eidolon, ka, fetch, doppelgangers, spirit-doubles: a mythical plot device from Euripides to Goethe to Marvel.
Minotaurs feature heavily as #monsters in #fantasy and #fairytales. #Folklore, as described by Ovid, paints the creature as having the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull begot from a rather awkward encounter with a goddess and a sacrificial bull...

The Dullahan is a headless rider in Irish mythology. He carries a whip made from a human spine, his wagon wheels are made from human thigh bones and its covering is dried flesh. When the Dullahan stops riding and calls a name that person will die immediately. #FolkloreThursday

The Celtic Reed Month - 28 Oct to 24 Nov. The yellow iris has reed stems & thrives by marshes, ponds, fens etc. In Greek myth one of the goddess Iris’s tasks was to carry water in a ewer from the River Styx when any god had to take a solemn oath. #FolkloreThursday Img: C. Barker
