Mythology And Folklore - Tumblr Posts

I remember as a kid, my oldest sister left this book at our house after she moved in with her dad, I cant remember what the book was called, but it was made of this hard wood or fake wood? Idk, but at the end of the book there was this little hollow spot for storing stuff.

My mum is a self proclaimed Wiccan, she's more like a hippie in the way that she's appropriated parts of Hinduism and Buddhism without knowing anything about those parts. Anyway, the book was about fairies and summoning them, and i loved fairies' and mythology as a child, in fact, I can still remember the exact chant the book said would summon fairies. You had to be near a body of water or a large tree, sitting in a circle of rose petals, and you'd chant it three times:

"all faer folk surrounding me, warmth and love I offer thee, honour me by coming near, beautiful light please appear"

I remember the first time I did it, a few minutes later a dragonfly flew into our house, despite all the doors being closed. I still love mythology to this day, but at least now I don't get all my Greek mythos from the Percy Jackson books lol.

Pomegranate cookies and handprinted programs for our annual New Year's Eve Saturnalia

The prompt “mythology” definitely gave me so many options I didn’t know where to start; so I used a list and a number generator, and we settled on making a clown gorgon! Introducing Clowndusa! Yes, she’s basically a giant peanut brittle snake in a can prank XD

A friend suggested her tail reference a clown morph ball python cuz...you know

And then I gave her some worms on a string for her snake hair cuz I found another clown Medusa that used that idea and I absolutely wanted to try it with my own take XD

Hope you all love her!

my poem:

My demons can’t trick me

If I beat them to the scare

Micro-dosing gasoline

Ab-sing my brain like an engine

My heart is my never ending masterpiece

He taught me how to say yes

Pull the trigger and whisper “take it”

You know you want this

“I’m gonna ruin you on purpose,

No lover will love you this hard”

Sometimes greatness is promised but never reached

Sometimes someone is meant to be yours but the timing is off

The price of this life is far too much

The American Dream, my favorite bold face lie

You too can achieve happiness

It only costs your whole life

Every paycheck goes down the drain

Feed the beast

Feed your best brothers

But never yourself

My mother’s mother

My father’s father

My greatest childhood memory is time

Nostalgic for something I never had

Like great family, beautiful community and safe sidewalks to scribble my pain away

Gunshots for fireworks

You learn the difference by ear

Busted caps and roaches scatter the floor

Pick up the rich man’s innocence and smoke it

Raw laws

Unholy pastors

Teenagers with bloodshot eyes

Working girls discovering the power they hold

Stray cats and runaway dogs

We’re all searching for a home to call our own

I can’t afford a house but I could swallow your spit, if you promise a heart to hold

A chest to lay my respect on

A throat for my claws to dig into

I’ll do it for a buck, I’ll do it for a cigarette

I’m the easiest girl in town

“One of the prettiest girls in the world”

At least that’s what Mr. John tells me

Little loves, big mistakes

Living with no warranty

Loving with no rubber lining

She does it for the money

A virgin in theory

A sl-t in practice

If chasing bliss is blasphemous

So be it

F-k god and me after

He’s such a whiney baby

Nobody’s listening to him anymore

If you have no one to pray for or to

Bow down and get on your knees

I’m the dark princess seducing sin

American Trash disguised as a Genesis Goddess

A myth is only so til proven otherwise

So say my name 3 times and I might just pop up, between your thighs

Hahaha

An assignment for my ELA class. The topic was drawing a poster of The Seven Deadly Sins, we could do one or more. Most people chose one and I did to all of them. I decided to combine the sins into three characters since I didn't want nor have time to draw all seven. The poster doesn't have the correct colors because I didn't have the markers or color pencils that were accurate enough. The digital version was what I started with to get the colors down then the poster. I like these designs at least the centaur and especially the three headed one. I may draw them again sometime and work on the centaur a little more. Also its mane and tail are meant to be red seaweed since Kelpie's from mythology are said to have seaweed hair that tightens on those who ride it so it can dive into the water and drown them. I believe their bodies are also sticky so I connected oil since the oil industry can be greedy because the substance itself is a valuable resource. The design is supposed to be dark like oil. Also their tails make a thunderous sound against the water, which can tie into Zeus (Eagle represents him). And they symbolize many things but for this design I interrupt it has power (also the spade is meant to resemble a sword). I wanted the crown to look like Poseidon's Trident 🔱 with spades on top. I chose Gods as inspiration because stories from Mythology and the Bible the Gods tend to be prideful and act in Wrath, but still respect from everyone even though they at least once committed genocide. That's all I have to write about, hope you like the designs :)

The Chupacabra

👹👹👹

Made for my university project

Your local dose of random ass Norse Mythology:

In Norse Mythology, Loki and Thor, accompanied by two Peasant’s children, met and boldly presented themselves to Utgard-Loki.

Utgard-Loki recognized the two gods immediately acted so very shocked about them being so small and expressed a wish to see for himself what they could do, often as he heard their prowess vaunted.

I laughed at this during my math class. I think that Loki or Thor would react in a way of: THIS BITCH—

How’s your day been though?

*manifests into existence graphically & gruesomely* *walks over to mic* Pokémon A.U ideas I’ve had buzzing around in my brain for a bit (that I will also explain rlly poorly) haha cough dies:

-Sycamore & Diantha are funni siblings, Xerneas is their smooshy grandmother, real world mythology (specifically Norse) exists, Yveltal does not like Lysandre or his ancestors (…also Fae & similar forces exist & are hungry :))

-Rainbow Rocket keeps getting its arse beat by (some not so anymore) trauma fuelled children, Sycamore, R.S.E! Maxie & Colress are friends (and really should not of been God Save Us), the Ultrabeasts share one braincell (and Guzzlord ate it)

-the world is an unknowable horror filled with nothing but pain and suffering, forcing those who dare to think themselves above it and the power it holds to choke on their hearts, their voices, their thoughts, until all they can perceive is that nothing is for them and all shall be as it is, cursed and shattered because of arrogance and ignorance, tortured and twisted, swallowed up by the light and the fire that should not of been.. And oh how You should of Known, oh how You all should of Thought better than That and now you are Here and there will be no escape from The Voið øF Wħő Ý ò ų ÆŘß —- (AKA Cyrus calls an ambulance, the others eat shit, Lysandre gets scammed by love & Xerneas is a amazing mum AND baker 🥰)

-live family reunion

-“how to care for your now deceased lover’s (Xerneas.net) children and also teach them how to control their powers because they are the heirs of Nature plus how do you teach creatures with Natures Abilities how to control them when you yourself are technically Death incarnate (Yveltal.net)” (AKA Yveltal get’s reading glasses, Zygarde is very happy to be an uncle (figure only. -Yveltal) & Augustine n Diantha luv their dad :3)

-there are three (read many) different variants of Sirens, Maxie & Maxie won’t stop arguing, the Pirate Life was (not) for Lysandre, only in Ancient Greecetm

-three very important rule:

Be very careful what you wish for,,,

Don’t finger fuck reality.

Never ever let a group of villain’s children play a metaphorical-game-of-Russian-Roulette-as-a-represention-of-their-descent-into-and-inability-to-escape-the-life-their-arsehole-parents-somewhat-accidentally-pushed-them-into-and-then-building-off-of-it-to-create-something-objectively-more-dangerous.

-Augustine go’s to Hoenn for rocks, accidentally gains two husbands, freaks out to Diantha on the phone Malva chuckles as she watches from her comfortable spot on Dian’s’ bed. Her girlfriend makes such funny expressions when exasperated >03

-typical fantasy adventure turned sideways then promptly trampled. Augustine HATES the ‘damsel in distress’ trope, Lysandre just wanted to court normally, Cyrus is forced to third wheel everyone & Diantha is all here for the chaos 👍

-“Cynthia! This is suppose to be a celebration! Where is everyone?????” “Alder is in a coma, Sycamore is being held captive by Legendaries or something, Rainbow Rocket has gone cuckoo & Kanto (& soon the rest of the East Continent) is basically fucked.” “😨” “anymore questions smartass?”

-the Ultrabeasts adopt Lillie + evolved, kinda not human anymore Lillie

-Eggman’s announcement but it’s Arceus (+ Cyrus w/ the Space Police (Ultra Recon Squad or whatever their called)

haha I’m gonna blow up one day :DDDDD

FOLKLORE CREATURE HIGHLIGHT

THE WENDIGO (this is my first time posting so sorry if it is bad and please let me know about any inaccuracies, also if you want me to go into more or less detail in the future just let me know)

The wendigo is a spirit from native American mythology, here's some info about it.

The creature is found in the north of the USA and Canada. A wendigo used to be a person until they committed canabalism or were overcome by greed. They can possess people and just a touch can drive someone insane.

They are mainly depicted as tall and skinny with bones poking through the skin. Other times they are hairy but often are shown without fur. One interpretation of a wendigo can be seen in my profile picture.

They have many powers including extreme regeneration and controlling the weather. Wendigo enjoy playing with their food and will hunt and stalk them for days, the only way to keep them at bay is a fire. The only way to kill them is to destroy their icy heart. So next time you go camping keep your eyes peeled for the canabal spirit of the woods.

Because paganism makes the holidays more fun.

There’s something about the story of Orpheus and Eurydice that’s held my soul in a vise gripe since I saw Hadestown

And I think it’s the fact that the story is of course, devastating, but it doesn’t mean anything

Not to say that it’s meaningless, but that so many other stories in mythology are used to explain natural phenomena or take down histories or tell cautionary tales about what happens when you mess with the gods

No, in this case, it’s just a tale of two people who loved each other, and would go to the ends of the earth to save one another. It wasn’t about destiny or being forced down some awful path or making terrible mistakes and being filled with regret. At its core, this is just a story about love, in it’s most human vulnerability and strength.

I mean, think about someone you love. Doesn’t even have to be a romantic partner. I know, in my absolute core, that I would go to the ends of the earth and back and around again for my partner. I’d die for my sister. I’d live for my dog.

Sure, Orpheus walks the lonely road to hell and nearly makes it back. And maybe, sometime in history, there was a man named Orpheus who loved his wife and when she was taken from him, he followed, in one way or another, never to return. It’s not vengeance. It’s not destiny. In a way, it’s not even valor or chivalry or bravery. It’s just love. At its core, it’s just love. And maybe the people left behind honored that by telling their story.

So it is a sad song, an old tale. And we sing it again and again, because we hope that if someday we have to follow our lives into hell with no hope of returning, there will be some vestige of our love left behind.

So if I am remembered for anything, thousands of years after I have gone, let it be for my love.

I was here, and I loved, and I left with love, and I didn’t get to come back, so sing my song, in my absence, with love.

Got DAYUM this clown got me behaving strangely

Sketches of Callisto and Arcos - AKA Ursa Major and Ursa Minor from Greek Myth. Fashion Design inspired by Xena, Warrior Princess.

"Xena, Warrior Princess" was a show made in 1995. Although this show primarily focused on the folktales from ancient Greece, it often took on a more modern fantasy look.

The costume design aimed to capture 'modern" mid 90's fashion blended with Greek,Celt, and Viking looks.

Not too much history on this one, mostly a Fashion Design Post.

Thanks for reading! 🐍💕
