Drew my OC character Yato (Yato no kami) which is based by the Japanese folklore.
@GaijinGoombah btw you should watch GeGeGe no Kitarō: Nippon Bakuretsu!! (from 2007)
I believe Yato might return to the new series of Gegege -.o (at least hope so)
@peeblo_r I'm the basement fairy! BEWARE! I appear in dirty basements to haunt the household! In ancient Samer folklore, parents would tell this story to children in order to scare them and make them clean the basement of the household.
I've had like 30 free minutes the past several days and I spent them on making a very absurd San'layn who's a furry
( He's based on various vampires and undead things from many folklores, namely the pricolici among others)
Ashinaga y Tenaga 足長-手長, yokai 20/31
Ashinaga-tenaga (足長手長, "Long Legs Long Arms") are a pair of yōkai in Japanese folklore. One, Ashinaga, has extremely long legs, while the other, Tenaga, has extremely long arms.

My novel THIS SACRED ISLE was inspired by Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic myths and legends such as Beowulf and tales of Merlin and King Arthur

THREAD for @FolkloreThurs’s #Underworld + #underground theme: Katabasis (descent to an underworld) is common in classical myth + lit, e.g. Odysseus, Aeneas, and Orpheus visit the Underworld. But this mythological theme is also prominent in fantasy literature:
#FolkloreThursday
To make money from magic, you needed a good story. A striking bio, like the c19th Irish 'fairy doctors' and fortune-tellers who said they'd spent years in the subterranean worlds of the wee folk.
'They were all gentleman there' one magician claimed, in 1837.
#FolkloreThursday
The Dullahan is the Irish Headless Horseman. This Unseelie Fairy rides a black horse and holds his severed head under his arm. Whoever's name he calls out is said to die. Variations say he dumps blood on passersby. Gold may deter him. #FolkloreThursday https://t.co/w0gDp2UbCY
Fairies hid underground by day, deep in the round green hills. Eager listeners ears to the ground, heard their music. A piper, eager to learn such tunes, entered into the Picts' Knowe on the Scottish Borders. He never emerged, now it is known as Piper's Grave... #FolkloreThursday
#FolkloreThursday - When Odysseus visited the #underworld, the shade (ghost) of the seer Tiresias--a self-realized human who had lived years on Earth as a man and a woman--was the only one able to give the #Greek hero the advice he needed to return home. (Art: Füssli.)
The ever-debated 'hollow earth' tells of Agartha. The subterranean world inside our planet, illuminated by a tiny sun; with mountains, forests & lakes. Where intelligent humanoids reside. Entrances exist at the poles & in caverns, honeycombed through the planet. #FolkloreThursday
This #FolkloreThursday we should remember how much of our modern world is inspired by ancient tales, which #dnd5e monster based in folklore is your favourite? At the moment mine is the Chimera three headed beast of conflict.
CALLICANTZAROS. Greek #Vampire being & demon confined to the underworld. He only emerges for 12 days from 25th Dec to 7th Jan. The callicantzaros is therefore uncannily referred to in English as the Christmas Vampire. #FolkloreThursday @OGOMProject
#FolkloreThursday Psychopomps are creatures, spirits, angels, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls from Earth to the afterlife. Their role is to guide them.
#art 'Souls on the Banks of the Acheron' by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl, 1898
The Romans believed there were several entrances to the #Underworld. One was Lake Avernus, which JMW Turner painted, with Aeneas consulting the Sibyl about how to make the descent to see his father (#Virgil, Aeneid 6) #FolkloreThursday
