In the UK, the #SummerSolstice begins on Sat. 21st June at 3:42am "May the warmth of the sun, nurture you; The cool waters, cleanse you; Nature's bounty, replenish you; The song of the trees, comfort you; The knowledge of the bees, guide you." ~ Druid Blessing by Stephen G. Rae

#LegendaryWednesday The Morrígan, Irish triple goddess of war, fate, and sovereignty, fiercely defends Ireland in folklore. As a crow, she foretells doom or victory, inciting warriors' courage in battles like the Táin Bó Cúailnge. A guardian of the land, she shapes destinies.

In folklore, owls are never simply birds. Perched in the canopy like sentinels of another world, they speak in riddles or warnings. Their yellow eyes reflect not just the moonlight, but the truth you dare not face. They often know how the story ends. #bookologythursday Art:

The Vikings loved giving cats as wedding gifts. Not only were they thought to be invaluable to brides setting up their new homes, but they were also sacred to Freya, the #Norse goddess of love, whose chariot was pulled by two giant cats. #FolkloreSunday
