@morgansheppard.bsky.socialIt's #FolkloreFriday 🦉 Today we look at the Welsh corpse bird (Aderyn y Corff). In folklore, its nocturnal cry was a solemn, natural harbinger that the veil was thinning; it gave families time to prepare for a coming transition, reminding us to respect the quiet thresholds.
@madmyrtle.bsky.socialAs always if you want to check out the past #folklorefriday topics they are on my Patreon (for free of course).
@madmyrtle.bsky.socialIt’s another #folklorefriday & we are once again in the spooky season. Let’s talk about a ghost from Germanic and Slavic folklore; the Mare.

@morgansheppard.bsky.socialIt's #FolkloreFriday 🍂 October begins at the crossroads. In Welsh tradition, these junctions are highly literal liminal spaces where the paths of the living and the dead meet; they remind us to move through the turning points of the year with deliberate care.
@morgansheppard.bsky.socialIt's #FolkloreFriday 🍂 The autumn equinox brings the year into fleeting balance; day and night sit in equal measure. In Welsh tradition, this threshold marked the gathering of the harvest; it invites us to pivot from outward growth to the quiet warmth of the hearth.
