Pagan Roman and early Christian lore regarding the hare suggested it was hermaphroditic and thus able to reproduce without loss of virginity: this is one of the many reasons hares and rabbits are associated with spring and fertility. #FolkloreSunday

Mabon is a modern Pagan festival marking the autumn equinox, when day and night are nearly equal. A celebration of harvest, gratitude and nature’s slow turn towards winter, its modern name was taken from Mabon ap Modron, a figure in medieval Welsh legend. #FolkloreSunday

It’s hellebore season! The toxic “Christmas Rose” may be associated with rebirth and the festive period but it’s also linked to the death of Alexander the Great, delirium and slander and cursed, hysterical women wandering the wilds as cows! #FolkloreSunday 🌱

#FolkloreSunday 'Autumn Reverie' (Felix Vallotton 1865-1925) Each season has a different quality of light but none is more beautiful & fleeting than that of the Autumn. Despite its radiance, its as if it knows its time is brief & like a gentle flame will perish by winter.

Folklore needs to be told. It needs to be transmitted. It desires to jump from pub to pub, playground to post office queue. It has a. Intrinsic dislike of stasis, of being trapped in the ink cages of of books. Folklore wants to be in our conversations and in our shivers. - #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

The moon has three prominent goddesses associated with it in Greek myth: Hekate, goddess of magic, represents the mysteries of the moon; Artemis, goddess of the hunt, represents its journey, its crescent her bow; but shining Selene is the Moon itself. #FolkloreSunday

Callistephus is commonly known as the China Aster or the Rainbow Aster. Its genus name comes from Greek “kalli” meaning beautiful, and “stephos” meaning a crown, wreath or garland. In Chinese folklore these blooms are associated with loyalty & unwavering devotion. #FolkloreSunday

A close-up photograph of China Aster (Callistephus chinensis) flowers in full bloom, displaying delicate pink and peach-colored petals arranged in dense, layered formations. The soft, pastel hues transition from pale yellow centers to deeper pink at the tips. The flowers are surrounded by rich green foliage, with a blurred green background providing a natural setting. The image has a gentle, dreamy quality, emphasizing the intricate petal structure and vibrant colors of the blooms.

Folklore is so much a part of our collective culture that it cannot help but spill out everywhere. It tumbles out of pub signs, street names, graffiti spat from spray cans. Manifests as wondrous acts of knitting. It is an essential element of us. – Dr. M. Benn #FolkloreSunday

Little gods in the grass isn't a new thing. Their names may change, but not their purposes. Field-blessers. Drought defeaters. Stone homes for genii locorum. Prayer amplifiers against every dread a farmer may face. – Dr. M. Benn #FolkloreSunday
