I don’t know where this is from. I know that it’s a tile made with a medieval illustration. #Caturday

Medieval illustration of a cat king holding a sceptre and wearing a crown, with three other cats bowing before it on grassy landscape.

That’s all from me, @crystalponti.bsky.social. Thanks for conjuring up such spine-tingling #FolkloreThursday posts! After a short break, @shanonsinn.bsky.social will rise from the folklore crypt to keep the chills alive. Don’t ghost us… the best scares are still to come! 🦇

Art: Rackham

An old-fashioned illustration depicts a coven of witches gathered under leafless trees at night. The witches wear pointed hats and tattered cloaks, some flying on broomsticks, while others creep across the ground with crooked postures. Black cats climb the branches and stalk the ground, adding to the eerie scene. A thin crescent moon hangs faintly in the sky above, casting a pale glow over the gathering.

#FolkyFriday channels Norse & British lore!
#Acorns on windowsills were believed to ward off lightning a nod to Thor Norse god of thunder, whose sacred Oak shielded him in storms. Nordic homes honored this, while Fairies are said to live in Oaks & wear acorn hats! 🌰

Shakespeare’s witches summon “Graymalkin” and “Paddock,” a cat and a toad, as if pets themselves were co-conspirators in fate. The line between companion and familiar vanishes in a puff of smoke. #BookologyThursday

The pharaohs kept cats not as mere pets but as divine guardians. Bastet, the cat goddess, blurred house and temple, protector and companion. Ancient art shows lap cats honored like royalty. As they should be! #BookologyThursday
