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. ☺️📚💫

A saga is an Icelandic prose story or history, though the term can apply elsewhere in Nordic culture as well. Most famous is the Saga of the Icelanders, but also much of Norse myth recorded, split between poems and prose. Today saga often means long stories.

The sea is as densely populated with fairies as any place on earth. These water sprites control the weather and the water, raise storms, and have the power to cause shipwreck, or keep a ship safe.

"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."

is often used to make teaching approachable & memorable, "[making] use of humble incidents to teach great truths" (Apollonius of Tyana on Aesop). Jesus's parables use this principle. Fables tend to have anthropomorphised animal characters.

To celebrate the folklore of storytelling this who else recalls Jim Henson's The Storyteller as an iconic part of their childhood? The cadence, the rhythm of the stories was mesmerising. Love John Hurt!

thinking about how middle eastern folklore clearly inspired a lot of akira toriyama's artwork in dragon ball, and now I really wanna see what he'd do with a full on adaptation of Arabian Nights stories

♥ Thanks! My name's Helen and I do lots of watercolor and ink stuff, mainly inspired by old timey European paganism, old fashion, and Spanish folklore.

My fave color pallet is a mix of green and brown for a base, followed by purple-pink as an extra
