Just a late upload and a humble travois hauled by a Canadian drek of the Masquerade Tribes, known for their superstitions about masks as a method of warding off evil spirits AND for their magnificent efficacy in interegional trade and barter commerce.

It was once believed that during the time around the winter solstice, as on Halloween, the veil between the living & the dead thinned.
With this in mind, here’s a thread dedicated to death + Christmas superstitions 💀🎄

The weirdest superstition I've ever heard. The way she just thought "I've shed more blood during my cycle than any hunted prey." 😭 I love her omg
At Hogmanay, or Scottish New Year, a preferably tall, dark haired man bearing gifts of coal, silver coins, black buns, salt or whisky, is invited over the threshold as “First-Footer” to bring good luck for the coming year.

According to a compendium of Ozark superstitions—killing a goose in the fall & examining its breastbone gives clues about the winter to come. If the bone is thin & more transparent, the weather will be mild; if the bone is thick, the weather will be severe. #SuperstitionSat
An old English superstition stated that a wild bird flying into the house was an omen of death. So when birds began appearing on new-fangled #Christmas cards in the #Victorian era, some people wouldn't have them in their homes. #WyrdWednesday #folklore #history
It was once said in Brittany that if a girl cooked an oak apple in the waters of a fountain whose source watered a cemetery, she would be imbued with the ancient wisdom of the fairies of old. #SuperstitionSat
#Folklore recounts that if the holly used for the decoration of a house at Yuletide is smooth, then the wife of the household will head it for the coming year, but if prickly, the husband will rule the roost! #SuperstitionSat #NationalTreeWeek @SuperstitionSat
We imagine aliens made at our image
To fulfil the collective religious superstition
But should we first question
If they are be visible to our primitive eyes
Or let the dream drift quietly through our mind
Like a painkiller and sleeping pill altogether

#Fridaythe13th is considered an unlucky day. Superstitions such as this one go hand in paw with the unfounded belief that black cats are unlucky as well. For centuries, black cats have undeservingly been associated with irrational notions.

@justin_author They are a different race/breed than humans and my whole comic is built upon the conflicts they face when it comes to superstition, traditions and differences, one of my human characters try her best to change this because she grew up with them and wish to help.
At Hallowtide in Scotland, the Samhnag bonfire was made of ferns and peat; a circle of stones placed around its edges. Each stone "named" for a family member. Next day, if any stone had gone that person would not last the year...

My current read is @KerriManiscalco's Kingdom of the Wicked and it is really neat to read about my culture in a novel. I grew up with these types of folk superstitions like the malocchio and I love reading it paired with demons🖤 Here are our twin witch girls Emilia and Vittoria.
Pied Piper
He was known as the ‘Pied Piper’—a #spectator to some & others a taboo.
A fixture in the parish like the #ink on a tattoo. His music was a melting pot of superstitions—a #choice of shadows whistling, sitting, waiting, & wishing.✍🏽#bravewrite #vsspoem #vss365
