In Spain on the Eve of Epiphany the three kings or wise men from the Gospels visit each house and leave presents for good children or coal for bad children. On the day of Epiphany they parade through the streets. #WyrdWednesay #LegendaryWednesday
Hans Christian Andersen's tale The Little Mermaid (1837) was much darker and more tragic than the Disney films. The mermaid is forsaken by the prince and dies of a broken heart. It is an allegory of the author's own tragedy of unrequited love for another man. #WyrdWednesay 💔

The Native American Rainbow prophecy invokes the power of storytellers & those who keep alive legends, traditions and rituals. They will be ‘The Warriors of the Rainbow’ and will reteach the values & knowledge lost and corrupted by Man’s greed.
