BEEKEEPERS have long believed that care should be taken not to upset or to offend a colony. It is said that bees will not remain with a ill-tempered keeper ... so it is considered extremely bad luck to argue or curse within earshot of hives 🐝 #folklorethursday #bees #apiary
Bees symbolise wealth attained through hard work. They belong to Hera, the Mother Goddess of the #moon, & are therefore linked to the sign of Cancer, also known for its love of hard work. Honey is the ambrosia of the Goddess, & symbolises richness & abundance. #FolkloreThursday

In Greek Myth, Gaea (Gaia) is the personification of our world. She's the ancestral mother of all, Mother Earth. In the beginning, Gaea, Chaos & Eros were born out of the Cosmic Egg; which was created out of nothingness. Together they gave birth to all creation. #FolkloreThursday

#FolkloreThursday The snow maiden or child is an archetype in many cultures that experience snow. She is often a very sad figure, as she will long to be with humankind, but usually ends up either melted or accidentally killing her human companions with her cold nature.
Maddie and I continue our Dark Souls 3 lorethrough. I am afraid it may finally be time for swamp.
