CHRISTMAS DEMONS There are Greek demons which are confined to the underworld, emerging for 12 days only over the Christmas season from 25th Dec to 7th Jan. This magnificent image shows a striking demon in just this state of limbo awaiting his chance! #GothicYuletide 🎨Bartolomé Bermejo (1440 – 1501

The folklore of Hookland has every mist, every fog, as danger. Tales of it eating certainty, as a warping infection of the land. Stories of sentient fogs, of even a mist on the common providing a cloak for the Hoarse Hag to walk abroad. – Lou Kemp, Hookland artist, 1981

The song-bank on this thing is laughing at me. I might as well just sit here with it on my lap and not learn anything.

That’s just reminded me of an old Christmas when I dressed up as a stormtrooper to surprise my 2 nephews. I think they just thought I was an idiot.

Just happened to come across that footage of Robin Williams and Koko the gorilla. It never fails to move me to tears. Something very special happened there.

Anyone who has honestly given veganism a try knows how true this is!
Learning to see past societal conditioning was the best thing I ever did ❤️

My work shifts over Christmas and New Year are looking too good to be true at the moment. Keeping an eye on them. Fearful someone is going to notice and think they haven’t got me in enough.

Great little read this for #Folklore lovers. I didn’t realise there were so many terrifying creatures associated with Christmas. Even winter werewolves!😆 I’m suddenly feeling more festive.
