In one ancient Irish fable, the robin is called the Fire Bringer, saving fire for early humans after a wolf tried to extinguish it. The bird fanned the dying embers back to life, scorching its breast in the process and bringing fire back to the world. Art my own. #BookologyThursday #Folklore

In Celtic and Druidic tradition, the wren was a bird of wisdom and divination. Its name in Gaelic (dreoilín) and Welsh (dryw) is often linked to the words for "druid" or "tree-knower," and its complex songs were once thought to be prophetic messages for priests. #MyBest2025 #OriginalArt #Folklore

According to various European myths, the wren is a fire bird. Its "fire" refers to its legendary role in bringing fire to earth, losing its tail feathers to the heat in the process, which explains its stubby appearance. #MixedMedia52 #Birds. #Folklore #Watercolour

A popular folk tale (found in Norse/ Germanic areas) tells of birds choosing a king by who could fly highest. The wren hid in the eagle's feathers, thus flying the highest and became king. Art my own. #ArtAdventCalendar #Birds #Folklore

According to Aesop's fables, a scholarly owl, prideful in his deep but dry study, argues with the melodious Nightingale, who defends natural beauty and true enjoyment, highlighting the difference between mere knowledge and wisdom. Art my own. #WyrdWednesday #Folklore #Birds

The wren was sacred to the Druids, who used its complex songs for divination. The Irish name dreoilín and Welsh dryw both link the bird to the word for "Druid" or "seer". Art my own. #WrensDay #BirdOfTheDay #Folklore

Small and wise, elusive and clever, the wren outwits winter and wears a hard won crown. Bringer of fire, feathers aflame, quick with courage to #Surpass the blaze that scorched his plumage brown. #VSS365 #Writing #Poetry #Folklore
