In Javanese lore, the afterbirth was set adrift at night to please the crocodiles, as it was believed to be their sibling. Crocodiles were thought to be the ancestors of the people and so a "twin" was returned to them...

A 'chime child' is a baby born as the clock strikes 3, 6, 9 or 12. They might be unlucky in life but they will have the gift to see things others cannot. #FolkloreThursday

Happy 6th birthday, Folklore Thursday! @FolkloreThurs Russian miniature painting of 'The Sea King's Daughter'. "Sadko set his gusli on his lap and plucked a merry tune. Soon all the fish swam in graceful figures. The seafloor crawlers cavorted. The maidens leaped and spun."

#FolkloreThursday In Celtic folklore, the birch tree known as ‘The Lady of the Woods’, is the 1st tree of the Ogham, the Celtic tree alphabet. It symbolises promise, light, new beginnings & birth. Babies cradles were often made of it, drawing on the symbolism of new beginnings.
In Babylonian & Sumerian myth, the primordial ocean goddess Tiamat took the form of a sea serpent & gave birth to the first generation of deities. When she was slain, her divided body parts formed the heavens & earth. Her tail became the Milky Way. #FolkloreThursday
Oh hello #artpostor, let's get rid of that imposter feeling for a day! I'm Erin-Claire, and I reimagine fairy tales and folklore, challenging gender norms and ensuring diverse representation in the stories we all love. I'm still new to digital art, but I'm learning!
Morty with a Magnamalo. Magnamalo is based on something from the japanese folklore (I guess it's a dead samurai). Morty is the Gym leader specialized into the Johto Folklore. Plus, they both have the colour purple and Magnamalo's general appareance would be a nod to the 3 beasts

Games that nobody remembers but really deserve a re-release:
Folklore on the PS3
In praise of Ninja
Ninja or Shinobi were once hired spies or mercenaries in medieval Japan, but faded into folklore. The 1970s American Martial Arts craze would grow to include ninja ad opponents and later anti-hero protagonists.
