✨🍄✨Fairy Rings, circles of toadstools that appear in fields, are said to be where the Fae dance. If you run 9 times around one at the full moon you will hear their music & singing - but beware, if you run widdershins (anticlockwise) you will be lost forever!

Hedgehog folklore! Why do people give hedgehogs milk, when the prickly things are lactose intolerant? Maybe the legacy of an older folkloric idea, still common in mid C20th Britain, that hedgehogs suckled milk from cows?

If you suspect you're in a fairytale, always offer help to animals or old women, you never know when the favour will be returned. 🍃
