The light was coming from a sword on a ledge at the side. A rounded rock* was in the middle of the chamber. Just about right to sit on.
“Claiomh Solais, the sword of Light,” said Alice.

Brian is helped by the Cailleach to steal the Sword of Light* from the land** of the big [tall] Woman and rescue Deò-ghrèine [Dérgriene]

Since lots of new people have arrived from #Twitter recently:

If any of you are from the #MythologyMonday , #FairyTaleTuesday , #WyrdWednesday , or #FaustianFriday crowds, let's connect!

I am still around here, and post about German #folklore daily!

Definitely not interchangeable with coke spoons. Suggests a need for the Swiss Army Drug Spoon?

⏩Jane Hoodless :
Absinthe spoons were designed to perch a sugar cube atop the glass, over which ice-cold water was dripped to dilute the absinthe. The lip near the centre of the handle let the spoon rest securely on the rim of the glass. #FaustianFriday

#FaustianFriday In 'Gabriel-Ernest' (Hector Hugh Munro, aka Saki, 1909) a man takes in a teenager he finds lounging by a pool in the woods after learning the boy lives outdoors, feeding on wildlife and - so the boy claims - children who stray into his path at night #BookChatWeekly 1/2

Let #Friday13th hold no fear of black cats. In #Wales they bring good luck to the home as they “chase all ills away”, while in #Scotland, if an unknown #blackcat shows up at your door it is a sign that wealth is coming your way! #FaustianFriday #Caturday Image: Helen Timbury

'The Wild Hunt' image occurs in folklore across Europe - wailing ghoslty souls in a hunt across winter skies, said to be led by a figure such as Odin (providing very tenuous claims of links with Santa Claus). #FaustianFriday #GothicAdvent #WinterFolklore

"then came the horrible part of the thing; for the man trampled calmly over the child’s body and left her screaming on the ground. It sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see. It wasn’t like a man; it was like some damned Juggernaut."

#FaustianFriday (🐦#) The reader first meets Hyde late one winter night. As the narrator watches, he sees Hyde bump into and knock over a little girl running down the street. To the narrator's horror, Hyde does not assist her or even stop, but tramples over her body #GothicAdvent

The Ouzel Galley set sail from Dublin for Turkey in 1695. After missing for 3 years, the ship was presumed lost along with all of her crew. But 2 years later, a tattered and worse for wear Ouzel sailed up the River Liffey. What had happened to the Ouzel Galley?
