“More Hellboy is pretty much always a good thing, especially when @artofmmignola is indulging his interest in Eastern European folklore. More #Hellboy with @duncanfegredo attached? That’s not just Required Reading—that’s a must-buy.” -@PasteMagazine: https://t.co/mnxhTNyf1x
Would anybody like this sketchy adopt for like $35? She's based off of the moon bunny from Japanese folklore <3 🐰🐇🌙

Hermes - son of Zeus and Maia, messenger of the gods, guide to the Underworld, god of trade, thieves, travelers, and border crossings. A trickster, within hours of birth, stole his brother Apollo’s prize cattle, invented the lyre and gifted it to Apollo to make amends. #Folklore

In Aztec #folklore, babies come from a store of unborn souls in the 13th heaven (the highest heaven) where the gods hold them until they decide to place them in a mother's belly. This was the first step in the Aztec birth culture, focused on hygiene and ritual.

#June is popular in folklore. Some say that if you see bats flying on a June evening, it's a sign hot weather's on its way. Also, if swallows fly near to the ground, it means rain is due, + 'a swarm of bees in June is worth a silver spoon'

20 June. Remembering Jane Sharp, 17thC midwife author of The Midwives Book, in English rather than Latin. Female-centred, her book saved lives & was open about sex: "the clitoris being nervous & of pure feeling, when rubbed & stirred causeth lustful feelings" #FolkloreThursday
Hey it's #FolkloreThursday, what a good day for another 4 fairies! Mostly plants. I think the squirrel fairy looks more and more like a squirrel the longer she lives with them.
The magical birth of Princess Kaguya in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (Japan 10thc): A childless bamboo-cutter finds a baby girl inside a glowing bamboo stalk (He & his wife raise her but when grown she returns to her people on the moon) #FolkloreThursday (Print:Yōshū Chikanobu)
Honeysuckle (woodbine) is the birth flower for June, along with the rose. Twining around the front door it will protect your house from harm, & put into a vase it will attract money. To Chaucer “wodebyne” symbolised steadfastness in love. #FolkloreThursday Image: Cicely Barker
Leto gave birth to the children of Zeus on Delos which, unattached to the ocean floor, was neither ocean nor land. Artemis was born first, and then helped her mother give birth to her brother, Apollo, whereupon she became the goddess of childbirth & midwives. #FolkloreThursday
