#WyrdWednesday My drawing "The Green Fairy" linked to the green liquor Absinthe which green colour was enhanced originally with copper sulfate and antimony trichloride which caused toxicity and poisoning, and thus cause hallucinations (and green fairies of course)
Being offered food in the fairy realm could be tricky: on the one hand, tasting a morsel out of curiosity meant a human might never return from the land of fae. On the other hand, offending a fairy was never wise…😉🧚🏻♀️ #WyrdWednesday
The mysterious food of Wonderland: a potion shrinks Alice, a cake makes her very tall & the caterpillar’s mushroom can make her small or tall…
🎨John Tenniel (for “The Nursery Alice”, 1890)

NEVER EAT FAIRY FOOD A human girl feeds on night mist scented with flowers in this image by Mary Evans. Fairy food is transformed by 'glamour' and is likely to be old weeds & rotten fruit. The fae themselves prefer stalks of wild Heather & deer milk! #wyrdwednesday
🍄🍏🍄If you find yourself in the land of Faerie, never accept any food or drink - no matter how tempting it may appear - or you will never leave. But if you offend them by refusing their generosity within the mortal world, you will be cursed.

Fillet of a fenny snake
In the cauldron boil and bake.
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blindworm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Shakespeare

A Flemish folktale says a weaver astonished everyone by getting so much work done. He claimed to have a servant, but no-one had ever seen the servant. They discovered he owned a bottle in which a 'galgejong' lived. A little devil doing all the work for him.

The fear of dececed relatives or spouces turning into vampires was very prevelent in Germany. Lots of stories tell, that if they are buried with blood, hair or belonings of a living one they would suck their life forces.
Such could only be prevented with...
In the fairy tale "The Juniper Tree," a boy is murdered by his stepmom, cooked into stew, & served to his unknowing father. The boy's sister gathers his bones & buries them under a juniper tree. A mist emerges from the tree & the boy's soul returns as a bird. #WyrdWednesday
Wyrd Wed explores death this week. So let’s visit the German children’s book, ‘Struwwelpeter,’ or ‘Shockheaded Peter,’ of 1845. Tortuous amputation happens to the unruly Peter -ie for sucking his thumb -by the Scissorman! Hoffman’s book still frightens 😱#WyrdWednesday
