Bevan Thomas<p>In Irish folklore, Jack was a lying drunkard who trapped Satan, and wouldn't let him go until he swore to never take Jack's soul. However, Jack's sins meant he couldn't go to Heaven when he died. Barred from Heaven and Hell, his ghost is forced to walk the Earth forever, carrying his lantern in a turnip. Thus, he became known as Jack o' Lantern.<br>🎨 Jovan Ukropina</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FairyTaleTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FairyTaleTuesday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Celtic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ghost</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Halloween" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Halloween</span></a></p>

In his fierce wrath he dragged the bridle-rein, so that the Grey of Macha reared, and stumbled on a sleeping man, and swerved aside, flinging Sualtach forward on its neck. His head struck on the sharp edge of his missile-shield, so that it sheared it off, and the shield fell from his hand, his head within it, at the horse’s feet, the body hanging yet upon its back. At that the Grey turned round, and made its way into the inner court and onward to the hall, the lifeless body still upon its neck, dragging the head along upon the shield, whose strap had caught into its feet. And all the way they went, passing the outer and the inner courts into the very presence of the King, the voice of Sualtach from the dissevered head still called aloud, as though he were alive, “Your men are being slain, your cattle driven away; your women fall as captives to the men of Erin. In wild Murthemne’s plain Cuchulain all alone still holds the foemen back. Ulster, Arise, arise!”<br>“Too noisy is that head,” King Conor said, moving again and stirring in his sleep; “put it upon the pillar of the house that it may go to rest“.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Celtic</span></a><br>Source: Cuchulain, the Hound of Ulster, by Eleanor Hull <br><a href="https://hear-me.social/@NeuKelte/114857150557766530" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hear-me.social/@NeuKelte/11485</span><span class="invisible">7150557766530</span></a></p>

Bevan Thomas<p>The Mari Lwyd is a wassailing Welsh Christmas folk custom in which a troupe of men dressed as stock characters (such as Punch and Judy) carry a horse skull on a pole from house to house, at each house singing their desire to enter. Eventually, each household relents, and invites the Mari Lwyd in for food and drink.<br>🎨 Jan Mehlich</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FairyTaleTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FairyTaleTuesday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christmas</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wales</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Celtic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MariLwyd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MariLwyd</span></a></p>

Bevan Thomas<p>The tote-road shagamaw was a creature of American tall tales. It supposedly had the front legs of a bear and the hind legs of a moose, and would walk half a mile on its front legs then half a mile on its hind legs so that its footprints would confuse hunters and lumberjacks. The shagamaw loved to eat cloth, especially cotton, and so would often steal lumberjacks' shirts.<br>🎨 Coert du Bois</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FairyTaleTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FairyTaleTuesday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TallTales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TallTales</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/America" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>America</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/UnitedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedStates</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Cryptid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cryptid</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Monster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Monster</span></a></p>
