When someone dies a Crow may carry their soul to Land of Dead ☠️
But sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it & the soul can't rest .
Then just sometimes, the Crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right 🖤

In one tradition every night the moon nibbles away a bit of the 9.3m tall menhir of Champ Dolent in Dol-de-Bretagne (Ille-et-Vilaine). In another it is sinking in to the ground by an inch every 100 years. When it finally disappears, the world will end. #FolkloreThursday .
One can journey to the magical Irish island of Tír na nÓg by many misted paths—through ancient burial mounds and caves, over and under the sea, in an enchanted boat or on Manannán's mythical horse.

~Old German proverb
The Badger peeps out of his hole on Candlemas Day and when he finds snow walks abroad; but if he sees the sun shining he draws back into his hole.
(Lack of badgers caused American German pioneers to use a #groundhog .)

The delicate beauty of herb-Robert🌸

'The pavement weeps,
and it distracts my eyes.
Shoulders knot.
The sun collides.
The sea falls short.'

☁️☀️☁️Sun lore:
It was said to be unlucky to point at the sun, as the act was thought disrespectful.
If the sun shines on a liar, they cannot see its light or feel its warmth.
It will always shine on a Saturday, if only for a moment.
