When I have food that starts looking like this, I throw it out.

I suggest the United States does the same.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

December’s #FullMoon is the Cold Moon and Oak Moon. In this lunar month the #Yule All-Heal rite was kept: on its sixth day white-robed Druids cut mistletoe from the oak with a golden sickle. Given to each home, it was said to deepen prayers, stir dreams and seal a kiss of peace.

4th December is St. Barbara’s Day. On this day there is an old countryside tradition of cutting a “Barbara branch” from a cherry tree. The branch is kept in a pot of water by the stove, and if it blossoms by #Christmas all the household’s wishes will come true the following year!

Celtic Britain’s Caillech (veiled one) straddled the line between witch and goddess. This one-eyed, pale-skinned crone could shape the land and seasons… but let winter end when she ran out of firewood!

Don't think there's an official #FolkloreThursday this week, but here's some psychogeographic urban mythology from the UK capitol. I do miss my old home town, and I'll always be an East End gutter mage. But I also have my reasons for not going back too often for sure.

Watch out for the "knockers" when walking the Cornish moors...

These mischievous spirits are said to inhabit the tin mines, and can either lead miners to rich ore, or play terrible pranks upon them

Take some pasty crusts to offer for their favour!

Sedna, an Inuit Goddess of the Sea, is often linked to seals. Her father throws her into the sea and cuts off her fingers when she tries to climb back into the boat. Her fingers become the first seals.

The Yule Cat, pet of the troll-like monster Gryla, eats those who don’t receive new clothes for Christmas. Some believe the legend stems from cautionary tales about processing wool and finishing chores before the holiday.
