Ugh this page IS SO FLIPPING INTERESTING. It making my lil mythology loving heart sing
Beira, Scotland's Queen of Winter, (Cailleach, Irish), is a personification of winter in Gaelic #mythology. ❄️ As a #weather deity she can create mountains, make winter storms, herd deer, fight off spring, & she uses her staff to freeze the ground. #FolkloreSunday #Witchsky

Somewhere out there is an amazing literary agent who will believe in your weird work and champion it. And when that doesn’t work, you could become friends—hell, partners—go on a goddamn crime spree, bring this literary world to its knees! You could destroy the patriarchy! Adopt a monkey! Dream big!

Hoping to do my dissertation on the essence of this 📚❤️
I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy

It’s that time in the Irish elections where they lift the winning candidates into the air and we all get to see suitpants barse and taint. The devils charcuterie board

New game! Take a celebratory sip of your tipple of choice (mine is Fentiman’s Ginger Beer) every time an Aontu* candidate is eliminated 🥳 (feel free to do same for any other candidate who hates women, choice or basic human decency)

This is so interesting! @kathlangrish.bsky.social! In Ireland we have “hungry grass” which dates back to the Gorta Mór - the great hunger. It was a cursed piece of grass that anyone who enters would be struck down with insatiable hunger and weakness.
Forests can be spooky places even at midday, and here's a post about a phenomenon that turns up in similar folk beliefs from the NE woodlands of Canada, to the islands of Polynesia, to Japan. I'd love to hear of any European versions! steelthistles.blogspot.com/2022/11/fall...

Ok so I currently have 11 followers but none of that matters because THE MAN WHO INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A WRITER is one of them and now I am (fake) sobbing into all of my copies of his books. PS Firelord (De Danann tales) altered my brain chemistry 👀🫠

Nothing to see here. Just trying to shamelessly train my algorithm to give me pictures of #cats. As you were.
