In early alchemy, an homunculus is a small, man-made representation of a human or human-like creature. Usually made with human sperm and blood, they are often created by an alchemist looking to hone his craft into the creation of life. #FolkloreThursday
In his essay “The Fairy-Telling Craft of Princess Tutu,” Bill Ellis argues that Ahiru’s transformation into the title character—and by extension all Magical Girl transformations—share a common archetypal ancestor in the story of Cinderella. #FolkloreThursday #PrincessTutu
@islandsnaswangs Hiya! I'm Filipino and I draw things! I also want to have a excuse to research on folklore/add more to my knowledge of it!
(Pssst, I'm also a DM and homebrew lots of things)

In Polish folklore, someone born with teeth has two souls. If they die young and aren’t decapitated and buried in two spots, the soul that remains will become a demonic witch called a strzyga, which flies about in the shape of an owl to suck the blood of the living.#Folklore
FAIRY FUNERALS. Sightings occur in #Folklore; recorded by Croker & Keightley in the C19th. #Blake claimed to have witnessed a #fairy burial in his own garden. Victorian artists John Anster Fitzgerald & Maxmillian Pirner invest fairy death scenes with fragile melancholy & wonder
While digging thru the already scarce material online for info about local #folklore, I came across this creature called a #fairy maid which is the female counterpart to a male #mermaid.

For #FolkloreThursday, our favorite demon in the whole world - the Shirime! A Shirime is a demon from Japanese legend that looks like a person, but has an eyeball where its anus should be. As one does.

From the 2nd Branch: Gwales (Grassholm) is an island off the Pembrokeshire Coast & the site of Brân the Blessed & his companions’ 80yr feast. Brân’s severed head entertained the party so that no one wanted to leave, despite an open door just by, facing Cornwall. #FolkloreThursday
