The folklore begins with the name “aurora” itself. Aurora was the Roman goddess of the dawn. "Aboriginal people commonly saw aurorae as fires in the cosmos. To the Gunditjmara of western Victoria, they’re Puae buae (“ashes”). To the Gunai of eastern Victoria, they’re bushfires in the spirit world and an omen of a coming catastrophe.The Dieri and Ngarrindjeri of South Australia see aurora as fires created by sky spirits.As far north as southwestern Queensland, Aboriginal people saw the phenomenon as “feast fires” of the Oola Pikka —- ghostly beings who spoke to Elders through the aurora.The Maori of Aotearoa/New Zealand saw aurorae (Tahunui-a-rangi) as the campfires of ancestors reflected in the sky. These ancestors sailed southward in their canoes and settled on a land of ice in the far south. The lights let people know, they would return one day.

A HUGE thank you to @jeremyhullah for your fantastic review of The Legend of Childer's Forest! " This would not be my normal go to book material, but it’s always nice to be taken out of your comfort zone, especially when you’re in such safe story-telling hands. When a family of rabbits are left homeless by land development, the two adventurous golden retrievers, Poppy and Devon, are determined to find them a safe new home in Childer’s Forest. Teaming up with the rabbits and some unlikely allies, they stumble across something menacing. Who or what is killing all the forest animals? And could the threat be large enough to endanger their human brother. This is a heartwarming tale that flows along effortlessly until you realise that you’re sadly at the end. The writing style is crisp and uncluttered, with just the right amount of detail to keep the story and the imagination alive. It’s easy to imagine this being read to children at bedtime, who would easily be enthralled with the adventures of these two lovable retrievers." #CrazyCreamAdventureSeries #BookReview #TheLegendOfChildersForest #DogFiction #ChildrensBook #NewBook #bookrecommendations #allchildrenarereaders #childrensauthor #goldenretrievers #dogstory #animalstories #wyreowlbooks #PoppyTheGoldenRetriever #Adventure #Mystery #MythandLegend #ForestLife #TheGoldenWizardBookAward2024 #JeremyHullah #BookReviewer #childrenstories #shelife #authorlife

King Arthur. The Mystery Unravelled. Chris Barber. 2016. ⭐⭐⭐ This book looks at the legend of King Arthur and argues that he did exist and can be placed in the canon of Welsh history. Barber makes a compelling argument, backed with sources, physical evidence and linguistic investigation. This was a very well researched biography but ultimately I found it too dry and rather complex for a non-scholar of King Arthur. The new-found knowledge and research about ancient Wales and southern Britain is very interesting, because there are kingdoms I hadn't known existed and thrived in this period. The strong links between Wales and Brittany were new to me, along with the education and lineage of early British saints. It helped to improve my understanding of the period after the Romans left Britain, the dark age where much of the documentation and records have been lost. A pronunciation guide for the Welsh names and language would have been helpful. I would recommend it to those interested in early medieval British history and King Arthur's legend. #bookrecommendations #bookreview #kingarthur #britishhistory #mythandlegend #welshhistory
In the shadow of ancient Rome, where myth mingled freely with the march of legions, there existed a hidden grove guarded by the Nymphs of Diana. Among these otherworldly beings was Livia, a nymph with eyes like the forest depths and a spirit as untamed as the wind. One fateful day, a weary soldier, Marius, stumbled upon this secret haven, escaping the clutches of an enemy ambush. Unseen paths guided by whispers of fate led him to Livia. Despite the edicts of both their worlds, they forged an unspoken bond, a harmony between the supernatural and the human, the historical and the mythical. Their tale became whispered among bards and scribes, blending the truths of Rome’s relentless expansion with the enchantments of an older, wilder world. As centuries faded, the legend of Marius and Livia wove through the fabric of history, a testament to the enduring power of unforeseen love, standing resilient amidst the relentless rivers of time. #AncientRome #MythAndLegend #ForbiddenLove #WTSdArt

“Thunder and Grace: The Tale of Jane Foster and Thor” In the realm of Asgard, where legends are born and destinies entwine, the story of Jane Foster and Thor unfolds amidst the clash of lightning and the rumble of thunder. As the mortal physician Jane Foster wandered into the enchanted lands of Asgard, she found herself drawn to the mighty Thor, the God of Thunder. Jane’s arrival in Asgard stirred whispers among the Asgardians, for never before had a mortal ventured into their realm. But Thor, captivated by Jane’s courage and kindness, welcomed her with open arms, eager to show her the wonders of his world. As they spent time together, Jane and Thor’s bond deepened, transcending the boundaries of mortal and immortal. Despite the differences in their worlds, they found solace in each other’s company, their hearts beating as one amidst the beauty of Asgard. But their love was not without challenges. Thor’s duty as the protector of Asgard often called him away on perilous quests, leaving Jane to wait anxiously for his return. Yet, she remained steadfast in her love for him, knowing that their bond was stronger than any obstacle they faced. As the days turned into months, Jane’s presence in Asgard brought about a newfound sense of harmony and joy. The once stoic halls of the palace echoed with laughter and song, a testament to the love that had blossomed between mortal and god. But fate had other plans for Jane and Thor. Asgard faced a threat unlike any other, and Thor knew that he must confront it head-on to protect his homeland and the woman he loved. With a heavy heart, he bid farewell to Jane, promising to return to her side once the danger had passed. #JaneFoster #Thor #LoveAndThunder #AsgardianRomance #MortalAndGod #Destiny #EpicLoveStory #MythAndLegend #TrueLove #Adventure #marveluniverse

Delighted to have made it up Glastonbury Tor again today, it’s pure magic up there! Each time I climb The Tor I find something new, today I found these roses 🌹 🌟 As I slowly made my way up the winding path, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient ruins, I couldn’t help but be captivated by the light and the beauty that envelops this mystical hill. 🏰✨ From the moment you set foot on its slopes, you can feel its magic beckoning you to explore further. 🌿⛰️ Legend has it that Glastonbury Tor is the legendary Avalon, the final resting place of King Arthur himself. Can you imagine? Standing amidst the whispers of ancient tales, it’s like stepping into another world entirely. 🌟 As I reached the summit and gazed out over the Somerset countryside, I felt a deep sense of connection to the land and its storied past. 🏰💫 But beyond the myths and legends, Glastonbury Tor is a place of undeniable beauty and serenity. The views are absolutely breathtaking, with the most amazing quality of light offering a glimpse into the natural wonders of this corner of England. 🌄✨ Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, this place has something for everyone. 🙏 #GlastonburyTor #MagicInTheAir #MythAndLegend #KingArthur #Avalon #NatureIsMagic #HistoryUnveiled #SoulfulJourney #WanderlustAdventures #glastonbury #glastonburytown
✨ Maiden's Tower: Istanbul's Icon of Mystery & Romance ✨ Greetings, history lovers! Today we dive into the heart of a true Istanbul legend – the Maiden's Tower (Kız Kulesi). Perched upon its tiny island off the Üsküdar shore, this tower has witnessed centuries of Byzantine battles, Ottoman sultans, and perhaps even star-crossed lovers. 📜 History Woven With Myth: Ancient Roots: This islet held watchtowers and customs stations since the 5th century BC! The Byzantine Tower: Emperor Alexios Komnenos built a stronger fort here around the 12th century. Ottoman Transformations: Used as a watchtower, even a quarantine station, but always rebuilt after earthquakes and fires. #istanbul #kizkulesi #maidentower #turkey #byzantine #ottoman #historybuff #mythandlegend #travelguide #rehberözge

The legend of the Loch Ness monster revolves around a creature said to inhabit the depths of Loch Ness, a large freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands. The legend gained popularity in the 1930s when a photograph known as the “Surgeon’s Photograph” was published, showing what appeared to be the head and neck of a large creature in the water. It was taken in 1934 by Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London-based doctor, and was published in the Daily Mail newspaper. For many years, the Surgeon’s Photograph was considered the most compelling piece of evidence supporting the existence of the Loch Ness monster. However, in the 1990s, it was revealed that the photograph was a hoax. The creature in the photograph was actually a small model made from a modified toy submarine, with a plastic head and neck attached to it. Despite the debunking of the Surgeon’s Photograph, the legend of the Loch Ness monster persists, and the search for evidence of its existence continues. Loch Ness has become a popular tourist attraction, with visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive creature while exploring the scenic surroundings of the Scottish Highlands. The legend has also inspired numerous books, films, and documentaries, further perpetuating the fascination with this mysterious creature. What do you think about Nessie? Is she real?

"Compelling evidence that the events of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey took place in the Baltic and not the Mediterranean - Reveals how a climate change forced the migration of a people and their myth to ancient Greece - Identifies the true geographic sites of Troy and Ithaca in the Baltic Sea and Calypso's Isle in the North Atlantic Ocean For years scholars have debated the incongruities in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, given that his descriptions are at odds with the geography of the areas he purportedly describes. Inspired by Plutarch's remark that Calypso's Isle was only five days sailing from Britain, Felice Vinci convincingly argues that Homer's epic tales originated not in the Mediterranean, but in the northern Baltic Sea." 🤔 #homer #iliad #odyssey #troy #trojanwar #mythology #mythandlegend #history #balticsea #baltic #baltichistory #felicevinci #greece #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #booklove

#REPOST @ashmoleanmuseum with @get__repost__app Coins from Knossos, on the island of Crete, were decorated with a symbol of the city: a labyrinth design which sometimes had a Minotaur at the centre. The design on the reverse of this coin, unlike most literary descriptions, has a single path into the centre. It appears more like a bird’s eye view of a building, and one in which it is impossible to get lost. In Greek myth, the Minotaur was a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a man who was imprisoned in a dark underground labyrinth at Knossos. The Labyrinth was an ingenious maze commissioned by King Minos and designed by the architect Daedalus. In order to escape the maze after killing the Minotaur, the hero Theseus needed a ball of thread, given to him by the princess Ariadne. Or at least that is the most commonly accepted story – digging deeper into the myth reveals a multitude of contradictory versions. Myths are continually reworked and retold, and that of the Labyrinth is no exception. 📷️ Ancient Greek silver coin, 300 BCE–201 BCE, 26mm (diameter).

Experience the Mystery of Molly Leigh: A Theatrical Event by B-Arts Discover the enigmatic tale of Molly Leigh, brought to life through a unique performance by B-Arts. Uncover the story of this legendary figure from Staffordshire, who has intrigued locals since the 17th century with her reputed connections to witchcraft and the supernatural. The event "Who Is Molly Leigh?" is a new musical endeavour that invites participants to delve into the story of Molly Leigh, who was historically accused of witchcraft. This interactive musical, developed in collaboration with B-Arts, musician Francesca Le Lohe, and lyricist Gareth Mattey, will be presented as a test show with extensive community involvement. Over the weekend of May 10-12, 2024, participants can join a community choir, engage in creative writing, and poetry workshops, and contribute to the set design for the performance. This project is set at B-Arts in Stoke and is part of an initiative to explore broader themes such as social exclusion and the stories of women marginalized by society. The performance is designed to be an immersive experience where attendees can learn more about local history from a fresh perspective, especially highlighting narratives that have been overlooked or misrepresented. For those interested in attending, planning, or learning more about the event and its thematic contents, additional details can be found on the B-Arts website.

Ce cercle de pierres est imprégné de mythes et de folklore. Les légendes locales racontent que ce sont des géants qui ont été transformés en pierre pour avoir refusé de se convertir au christianisme. Une autre prétend qu’à la veille du solstice d’été, les pierres descendent jusqu’au loch pour boire. Le site est inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO et attirent des visiteurs du monde entier fascinés par leur mystère et leurs origines anciennes. Pour les fans d’Outlander, les pierres de Callanish sont l’un des endroits qui ont inspiré les créateurs de la série pour créer Craigh na Dun. Step back in time and unlock the mysteries of Scotland’s ancient past with a stop to the Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis! The Callanish Stones date back to the late Neolithic era, 🗿 around 3000 to 2500 BCE, making them roughly contemporary with other famous prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge in England. 🔍 They are steeped in myth and folklore. Local legends tell of giants who turned to stone as punishment for their refusal to convert to Christianity. 🌌 Another legend claims that on Midsummer’s Eve, the stones walk down to the loch to drink. They are a UNESCO World Heritage Site 🌍 and attract visitors from around the world who are fascinated by their mystery and ancient origins.

🐓 Did You Know? The Legend of the Galo de Barcelos 🇵🇹 1️⃣ The Legend: In the town of Barcelos, a pilgrim passing through was wrongfully accused of theft. Despite his protests, he was sentenced to hang. In a last plea, he asked to be brought before the judge, who was having a dinner party. There, he pointed to a roasted rooster on the table and declared that the rooster would crow as proof of his innocence. Miraculously, the rooster crowed just as the pilgrim was about to be executed, saving his life. 2️⃣ Symbolism: Today, the Galo de Barcelos is a symbol of faith, justice, and luck. It represents the triumph of truth and justice and is believed to bring good fortune. 3️⃣ Craftsmanship: These colorful, ceramic roosters are handcrafted with intricate designs, each one unique, reflecting the rich folk art tradition of Portugal. 📍 Visit Barcelos: Dive into the heart of Portuguese culture and explore the city where the legend began. Discover artisan workshops, vibrant markets, and, of course, the iconic Galo de Barcelos. #GaloDeBarcelos #PortugueseCulture #LegendOfBarcelos #VisitPortugal #CulturalHeritage #HandcraftedPortugal #PortugueseTraditions #FolkArt #MythAndLegend #DiscoverPortugal #TravelPortugal #ArtisanCrafts #UniquePortugal #CeramicArt #CulturalTravel #StoryBehind #PortugalLife #PortugalTourism #PortugalFolklore #ColorfulCulture
