Uno de los fenomenos naturales que más me han fascinado siempre han sido lo anillos o corros de hadas (a veces también llamados corros, anillos y círculos de brujas). Una formación circular de hongos que, aunque tiene su explicación natural, también posee un gran folklore.

For here’s some folklore about bees & death💀🐝

In the 18th & 19th centuries in the U.S. and Western Europe, a strange ritual involving households that kept bees took place called ‘The Telling of the Bees.’

I love these storytelling scenes: SJ Guy’s “The Story of Golden Locks” c. 1870, & the original frontispieces for the British editions of the Grimms’ fairy tales, c. 1820s, & illustrated by the great George Cruikshank. I love the coziness. ☺️📚💫

"Stories are medicine. They have such power; they do not require that we do, be, act anything - we need only listen. The remedies for repair or reclamation of any lost psychic drive are contained in stories."
