That's a wrap on another epic #folklorethursday🎄🐉 This is @shanonsinn signing off as your last host this week & for 2019. Today's theme has been folklore of Winter Festivals, snow and ice! Smiling packs of dogs standing around Yule trees too 😄 Until next time (K Reichert 1918)
In Greek mythology, kallikantzaroi are tiny, gnome-like creatures who spend their lives at the center of the Earth trying to hack down the tree of life. Only during the winter solstice can kallikantzaroi come to the Earth’s surface. (Image: Daimonologia) #FolkloreThursday
For Nordic countries Dec. 12th is Lossi long night (after Roman calendar winter solstice), the longest and dangerous night of the year. Lossi checked if you were ready for Yule.. If she caught you outside, you’d be out all night in chaos.. #FolkloreThursday

In Greek mythology #Boreas (God of the North Wind) lived in the Rhipaion Mountains .... his chill breath brought #Winter to the lands of Europe. However beyond the North Wind lay #Hyperborea - a sort of paradise of eternal Springtime.
In Chinese folklore, when Wang Hsiang's stepmother craved fish in winter,he lay naked on an ice pond to melt a hole out of which carp jumped. When Men Tsung's mother craved stewed bamboo shoots in winter,he searched the snow until he found a fresh-grown shoot. #FolkloreThursday
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. In the folklore of many regions of Spain, it is considered a very lucky day – I learnt this from the wife of my father's first cousin, my aunt Urbana, who was from Galicia, on the northwest of the country's mainland. 1/
