This is not a painting. It is made entirely of wood, its surface flat. A detail from the 15th-century "Studiolo Gubbio", one of the finest examples of intarsia, the masterful art of fitting together pieces of wood to make images: publicdomainreview.org/essay/e...

Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) is the Slavic version of Santa Claus who delivers gifts with his granddaughter Snegurochka (Snow Maiden) in a troika pulled by three horses. For a time his image was banned under the Soviet Union due to his origins as a pagan deity. #FairyTaleTuesday

According to a Flemish folktale, there used to be a tree that was thought to be 1500 years old. It was believed that the ghost of Wodan lived inside the tree. Wodan or not, nobody dared to walk around the tree, for it was known to strike passersby on the head.

Each winter in parts of Northern Japan, the demons descend: Namahage are oni dressed in winter coats of straw, bringing drums and looking for naughty or whiny children to terrorize. Centuries ago, they were more akin to kami. #FolkloreThursday

‘I wear the chain I forged in life,’ replied the Ghost. ‘I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you?’

In Italian folklore, La Befana is an elderly witch who rides a broomstick and enters homes through chimneys to leave presents for children, such as toys or sweets, on Epiphany Eve. Families leave food and wine out for her, and she will even sweep the floor before she leaves the house. #FolkyFriday

Holda (Frau Holle & Perchta) is an ancient Germanic goddess of winter, snow, and spinning. She shakes her featherbed to bring snow and rewards diligent girls with gold. During Rauhnächte, she appears as grim Perchta—punishing unfinished spinning or dirty houses with a belly slit & straw
