In the earliest #folklore regarding fairies there was a belief that they were in fact spirits of the dead. There are tales of men seeing their deceased wives dancing with them. A refinement of this belief is that they were spirits of the pre-Christian, unbaptised dead.

Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs — and their owners — becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'
How Canada's buck-toothed national emblem could help fight wildfires | CBC News
New research out of the western U.S. suggests dams and ponds built by beavers can slow floods, store water and even create green firebreaks in wildfire-prone landscapes.

For my Journey Practice Circle this week, the Helpers suggested that we journey to the Little People in our gardens or yards at home.

Love is powerful medicine. It heals, empowers & transforms. When we express love authentically, our actions, our very being, become medicine, helping to heal & harmonize the world.

Tlingit culture, found in Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, is rich in traditions centered on family, art, spirituality, and a deep connection to the sea. Key aspects include a matrilinea! kinship system, intricate wood carvings, and a strong emphasis on potlatches and respect for the natural world, particularly salmon. Descent and inheritance are traced through the mother's line, and clan membership is passed down through the mother's family. Tlingit society is organized into moieties (Raven-Crow and Eagle-Wolf) and further divided into autonomous clans, each with its own crests. The Tlingit are renowned for their intricate wood carvings, particularly totem poles, canoes, and ceremonial objects, often incorporating clan crests and animal motifs. A ceremonial feast where hosts give away possessions to demonstrate wealth and status, strengthening social bonds and reaffirming clan relationships.
