Lavandeiras are beings from Galician Folklore, which also appear in the North of Portugal. They ask for help to twist their towels stained with blood, if help is denied, for fear or lack of solidarity, the outcome could be death. Seeing them isn't a good omen... #FaustianFriday
That's the end of another epic #FolkloreThursday 🐿️
Today's theme has been Tree & Forest Lore! From wand materials to graveyard trees. A forest of lore!
This is @ShanonSinn signing off! Wishing everyone a lore filled week 🌞

Djinni live in all manner of places but a popular place is the shadows of tree, hoping to get out of the sun. So, when hiding from the sun yourself, watch your step and make clear your presence: Djinni are rarely forgiving of the insult of sitting on them. #FolkloreThursday
Kodama are the spirits of old trees in deep forests in Japan. Rarely seen as orbs of light or tiny vaguely human shapes, they are more often heard, as echoes that are just slightly oddly delayed #FolkloreThursday art @matthewmeyerart https://t.co/wKUGD2ckMf

Much like apples in Celtic folklore, in Chinese folklore peach trees symbolize immortality and/or longevity. Peaches were eaten during "The Feast of the Peaches" hosted by the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor, uniting divine and mortal existence.

@Writer_DG Would you like to have a copy of my book on the folklore behind your title (and a lot of other things too)? It would be great to get you a review copy sent over. Maybe you'd like to come onto the podcast and discuss history, folklore and your writing. Would be great to host you
