April Fools' Day has no clear origin, only theories, with the leading one being an endearing insult to those who celebrated the New Year in March-April instead of December-January. What does endure is regional and national traditions and how reviled it can be. #FairytaleTuesday

In Chinese #folklore, the Nine-Tailed Cat Spirit begins as an ordinary cat. Every nine years, it grows a new tail—eight come naturally, but the ninth is earned. To gain it, the cat must help its master fulfill a heartfelt wish. Only then can it be “sealed” into immortality,

Among Turkish mythology across Central Asia, the Tulpar is a winged horse, black or white in color, known to be faster than a storm and able to cross great distances quickly. The first fiddle was made from a Tulpar's hair and sinews. #FairyTaleTuesday 🖼: A. Santiso

In the Maori lore the Sons of Ranginui Sky Father sought to separate him from Papatūānuku Earth Mother. This brought light to the world, but one brother felt this a betrayal, so Tāwhirimātea of Wind and Storm joined his father, plotting revenge. #FairytaleTuesday 🖼: S. Brocas

Gaia, called Terra by the Romans, is the primordial being of Earth. Mother of all life in Greek myth, she could not abide the tyranny of her husband, the sky Ouranos, and plotted against him. #FairytaleTuesday 🖼: CathPulag

The people of Vietnam are descended of Lord of Dragons and Queen of Mountain Fairies, divided between them. This origin explains the diverse peoples of Vietnam and its geography, all while setting them apart from their neighbors. #FolkyFriday 🖼: W. Lin

In ancient China, people believed fireflies were born from rotting grass and bamboo roots—giving rise to the saying “decayed grass turns into fireflies (腐草为萤).” Glowing briefly for just over 20 nights, they lit up summer evenings before fading into the autumn grass. To

A study for a dragon by Lily Seika Jones. Her notes include that dragons usually guard treasure underground or in an abandoned castle, & are afraid of the shade of the peridexion tree - a mythical tree that attracts doves & repels dragons. #StGeorgesDay #MythologyMonday
