Bugs Bunny, trickster extraordinaire, showed generations of 20th century kids his skills of effortless amorality. We were never quite sure what he was up to, and it seemed neither did he (or did he?)😄

Beware Koshei the Deathless! An immortal sorcerer who hid his soul on an enchanted island, he is the villain of Slavic myth. He steals away young maidens, puts curses on the innocent, & terrorizes the good people. Only the bravest heroes can face him and live! #FolkloreThursday
In traditional Himalayan #folklore Yetis are sometimes said to have feet that point backwards to #trick hunters attempting to track their footprints in the snow🏔️👣🦍

Huēhuecoyōtl is the god of mischief, dance, song, and debauchery. Depicted as a dancing coyote, he often pulls benign franks on other gods and humans. He's a generous party-giver, but also known as creator of war simply to relieve his boredom.

Hello #FolkloreThursday and thank you to @HerbalStorytell for hosting before the break. This is @mythcrafts here as we cross to the dark side of folklore for villains, tricksters and antiheros.

Ninmenju is a yokai tree that bears peaches with human faces. While they cannot speak they can laugh. But if they laugh to hard they will fall off. If you're brave enough to take a bite, you'll find it to be both sweet & sour. #FolkloreThursday
#Krampus...as a woman. And her birch is not for children who have misbehaved! #FolkloreThursday #Krampusnacht
Across England it was thought very bad luck to harm a robin. The hand of someone who had killed a robin would always shake. If you broke a robin’s egg you would soon find your own crockery broken. If you broke a robin's wing your own arm would soon also break. #FolkloreThursday
#Fairies embody the nature of the #trickster. Filled with mischief and malice, they tangle hair (#elf-locks), they switch out children (changelings), they confuse the paths of travelers, and force humans to dance. But they're pretty...

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
