🌑 What if Veronica’s ‘Dark Skies’ band lyrics predicted her vanishing?
Poet, actress, singer: “Under dark skies I fade… no one finds my trace.”
Then she vanished in the 1980s without a trace.

A little fairy lore 🧚‍♀️

#Folklore #History #Lore #Fairies #Fae

Once a body had passed along a route, it belonged to the dead and unsuitable for everyday use. Such beliefs gave rise to rich #folklore, including stories of ghostly processions and #haunted paths.

Stealing from the dead is generally considered to be unwise.

Especially if you've seen the dead person in question wandering around.

The Aswang An Aswang is a feared, shape-shifting monster in Philippine folklore. It combines the traits of a vampire, ghoul, witch, and were-beast. It is an "umbrella term." It describes a variety of malevolent beings living as ordinary humans by day. They transform into predatory creatures at night. The Aswang are known for an unholy preference for the hearts and livers of children, as well as the blood and organs of unborn fetuses, which they sometimes extract from a mother's womb using a long, thread-like tongue. They can transform into various animals, most commonly large black dogs, pigs, cats, or birds.

View looking across a narrow sound to the smaller island of the Calf of Man from the Isle of Man. The landscape is very verdant but craggy. There are rocks and islets in the sound.

Some feel the Isle of Man is named after Manannan, a sea god fond of cloaking the island in mist. From Man's highest point, it's said you can see 7 kingdoms - England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland & Man, plus the Kingdom of the Sea & Kingdom of Heaven. #FolkloreSunday #folklore #mythology
