The Sea Mither is a deity from Orkney with dominion over the seas, responsible for calming and warming summer waters. She's connected to the Nuckelavee, and can keep the creature at bay during Summer, though her power wanes in winter. #FolkloreThursday (As seen in @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social!) 🧵

My velvet worm Aurelio was a war-steed once; retired now, he still snorts and spits for battle. I keep a strong hand on the reins as we take the longest road to the sea. I have never seen it before (neither has he, I think) but we both need a holiday. Peace is new. We are strangers to her.

In the Kingdom of Grass, intrepid Meadowfolk tame insects to ride. Grasshoppers, bees, spiders—dangerous to befriend and train, but strong steeds and loyal friends to those who succeed. With an insect mount, all four corners of the world are open. Where do you go?
