Mythological creatures! 🐉🧙♂️
The Wendigo is a creature native to the folklore of the Native American Algonquin tribe. It’s said to be a creature that used to be a man who was possessed by an evil spirit ravenous for the taste of human flesh.
Interesting, huh?

@SwigMama Reminds me of the Akhlut from Yup'ik folklore: an orca, wolf hybrid that transforms and roams the wintry north when food is scarce.

The idea of having a small helper and protector about the place is something that must have brought people comfort during many dark and cold winter nights long ago...

The Nisse or Tomte is a very popular being of Scandinavian folklore, inhabiting old barns, farms and rural homes. Fierce protectors of the land and wildlife, it is customary to leave out a bowl of Christmas porridge to thank them for their help.

“I am mostly inspired by nature and the time I spend outdoors. I am also inspired by the whimsical creepiness of folklore, fairy tales, fables, and myths. These stories have always held a special place in my heart.”

Boa Marigold can have snakes of fire instead of hair just like Salamander the snake god of fire. #FolkloreThursday #OnePiece (3/3)
Reminiscent of Medusa, Boa Hancock can turn to stone anyone looking at her with sexual desire. Boa Sandersonia can turn her hair into snakes to look like the eight-headed snake in Japanese folklore. #FolkloreThursday #OnePiece (2/3)
As a child my mother took me to the cinema to see The Secret of Roan Inish, the first time I saw a movie before reading the book, about the Irish and Orcadian #folklore of selkies. I often think it was that fantastical film that begot my love of folklore.
