In the Middle Ages nutmeg was worn in pouches to ward off plague. Nathaniel Hodges (1629–1688) put a nutmeg in his mouth before treating plague victims & attributed it to his survival (Fleas dislike the smell of nutmeg so wearing it might have helped a tiny bit) #folkloreplants
Apologies for the bad photos but I also forgot to mention the stunning illustrations😭 it also has a Scottish folklore glossary & writing prompts at the back...like I literally don’t know what else I could say to make everyone want this book
Queen of the Fairies (The Fairy Queen, Queen of Elphame) is a figure from Irish and British folklore, believed to rule the fairies. Based on Shakespeare's influence, in English-speaking cultures she is often named Titania or Mab. In Scottish folklore she is named Nicnevin.🦋
I've been knee-deep in Scandinavian folklore as well as Superheroes/Villains for such a long time now, I just gotta repost my lovely lady Eila that I made for one of mine and @PyxelPug 's Marvel AU 👌😩💦💖
This lovely weather is making me want to draw more sunlit woodlands!

Fairies and their imaginative vehicles... #Victorian fairy paintings by Amelia Jane Murray (1800-1896) who was born on the Isle of Man in 'Port-e-Chee', which means ‘fairy music’ in Manx Gaelic. The local #folklore inspired her work.

My idea for a final #scorbunny evo!
Based on a creature from German folklore known as the Wolpertinger! I considered fire/flying, but the fairy combo was too good to pass up!

16th century dining, included baking live birds in a pie as a form of entremet; hoping they would fly out singing. The famous #rhyme points towards the close of monasteries by Henry VIII & ends with the maid's nose being stolen... like a demon stealing her soul? #FolkloreThursday
🌿Trees and forests are deeply rooted in our psyche, and spread their branches over myth, legend, folklore & fairytale. The forests that will always have a place in my heart are Mirkwood, Sherwood, and the timeless glades of Ryhope.

"Ring Around the Rosie" a rhyme amid great speculation. Originally children danced in a circle & curtsied to a center rose tree/child. It was later associated with the Great Plague, ie: Rosie rashes & posies to ward off the smell of disease...& we all fall down! #FolkloreThursday
