#FolkloreThursday Every day, Balinese households craft an offering to the Sang Hyang Widhi. Called 'Canang Sari', they are made in gratitude for peace, and is seen as a small but essential form of worship, since it takes a small yet constant effort and time to craft one daily.
In Greek mythology, the Naiads are a type of female nymph, presiding over fountains, wells, springs, streams & other bodies of fresh water. Often boys & girls at coming-of-age ceremonies cut &dedicated their hair locks to the local naiad of the spring #FolkloreThursday
