The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he’d steal no more.

The woodpigeon has a distinctive coo. Across England children came up with various different interpretations of what the pigeons were saying. Some thought it was ‘Oh Betty, my sore toe’ and others ‘Take two cows Taffy’. #FolkloreThursday
#FolkloreThursday "The Muffin Man" is a traditional nursery rhyme of English origin. Victorian households had many of their fresh foods delivered, such as muffins, which were delivered door-to-door by a muffin man. https://t.co/sDtKULIRtz
"Here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush,
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
On a cold and frosty morning,
This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands,
On a cold and frosty morning."

#FolkloreThursday The nursery rhyme Jack & Jill dates back at least to 18thC England. In the 16thC the words Jack & Jill implied a boy & girl romantically involved, as referenced by Shakespeare & the old English proverb. “A good Jack makes a good Jill.”

@BourassaArt Hi, I’m Carlos. I do creepy sometimes cute stuff, inspired on folklore, cryptids & personal spooks.
"Ring Around the Rosie" a suitably debatable #rhyme for the times. Where children dance in a circle & curtsey to the center 'rose tree.' Later argued to represent the Great #plague (Rosy rash; posies to ward off the smell of #disease)...and we all fall down! #FolkloreThursday

Leprechaun drawings, to celebrate this special day. Maybe next year. I’ll draw some Irish Folklore... #leprechauns
In Irish folklore, pookas are mischievous shapeshifters who take forms of both humans & animals. Usually they gallop around as black horses, knocking down fences & stomping crops. They'll entice drunkards onto their backs for wild, death-defying rides. #FairyTaleTuesday
I wanted to try a different design for Amabie! if you haven't heard, she's a yokai whose image prevents disease in Japanese folklore. Japanese artists are drawing her for good luck/morale. you can see other interpretations in this hashtag! #アマビエ様
@RareLtd This Everwild creature reminded me so much of the Cait Sidhe from Folklore (PS3) when I first watched the trailer. I can't wait to learn more about this new game coming out and I really hope the experience is just as magical!
