One for sorrow, two for luck! I found a different version of the rhyme a while ago and started designing prints, and now I have no idea where I found it! So this is as far as I got 😆 Anyway, these are in my Etsy shop if you're interested! 🔺 😁 #folklore #folktales #folktaleweek #folktober #folkart #nurseryrhyme #britishfolklore #magpies #crow #crows #oneforsorrow #grungedesign #artprint #gothichome #darkhomedecor (at Quiet Nisse Designs) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clto2RBMb72/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Is it a dog or a gremlin? 🤔 Day 28 Drawlloween is the BARGHEST! I know there are some furry faces out there only a mother can love, and I think this is one of them! He’s so creepy yet cute!! 😚🖤🖤 But don’t let my little guy fool you…he’s actually a demonic human munching doggo! 😗 Or as some say is a house elf 🧝‍♂️ Well…I’ve never seen one in person but when I do I’ll let you know what it is! There’s many legends of this mythical creature, whether it’s a black dog with terrifying teeth or a yellow skinned goblin it’s safe to say they aren’t human friendly 😅 Halloween 👻 Is almost here and so is the finale of Drawlloween! Only a few prompts left! So get creative and let���s see your ghoulish creations!! Tomorrow is FERAL PUMPKINS 🎃 #barghest #goblin #houseelf #britishfolklore #barguest #doggo #drawlloween #inktober ##camillasdrawlloween (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlbX1TPP6J/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here we are with a new #mybookalphabet post: J is for Joan the Wad! . In Cornish folklore, Joan the Wad is the queen of the piskeys (the spelling I settled on for my #FlightandFiretrilogy - it’s also frequently spelled pisky or piskie, and of course pixie). An old English rhyme describes her as a capricious will-o’the-wisp, sometimes teasing human folk and sometimes guiding them to safety: . Jack O’Lantern, Joan the Wad, That tickled the maid and made her mad, Light me home, the weather's bad. . Generally, though, Joan the Wad is seen in Cornwall as a figure of good luck and protection, and Jack O’Lantern is her king or consort. So when I was creating the world of the Cornish piskeys for SWIFT, I decided on “Joan” as a title rather than a personal name for their queen. . It’s also, though I didn’t plan it this way, a small tribute to my mother, a true queen in every way — whose parents emigrated from Redruth in Cornwall to Timmins in northern Ontario a few years before she was born. They named her Joan, and she in turn gave me Joan as my middle name — that’s the J. in my initials. But my mother had never heard of Joan the Wad until she read my book, so I felt happy to have given her back a little lost piece of her Cornish ancestry. . Q: Do you have a favorite folk character or creature in your family background? I’d love to hear about it in comments! . . . #joanthewad #cornishpixie #cornishpixies #cornishpisky #cornishpiskey #spriggan #spriggans #folkloreandfairytales #britishfolklore #fairies #fae #fairytale #faery #faeriesofinstagram #fairybooks #rjandersonwriter #enclaveescape #enclavepublishing #yabooks #IReadYA #yareads #speculativefiction #christianfantasy #flightandflametrilogy #swift #swiftbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHGG2Xgu2x/?igshid=113e0jszkl6a8

Nimuë/Vivian/The Lady of the Lake maybe I’ll do some more Arthurian stuff because there are some cool stories and I’m not sure how well known they are but they’re really cool!

I can't tell you how 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝 I am at how the new things in my shop have been received! Thank you to every one who's ordered / liked / shared 🖤 Two thirds of this weeks orders have been sent out and the rest will be done this weekend 🙏 ✦ I've decided to take an impromptu trip away to recharge my batteries. There are two more launches before the year is out and I'm feeling a little frazzled tbh 😂 We will be visiting Harrogate / Edinburgh / Pendle next week so would love any recommendations of 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝 & 𝐮𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 things to get up to in these places 🔮👻 Thank you 🖤🖤🖤 #hauntedBritain #britishfolklore #edinburgh #visitedinburgh #pendle https://www.instagram.com/p/CTFpA7lFBED/?utm_medium=tumblr

Playing with recycled cardboard, newspaper, acrylic and glue . Not finished yet but maybe when this Greenman is done, he can join the other five greenmen hanging on the walls about the house - or maybe even make it down to @ouseburnopenstudios in November... We'll see. Basically I am 'parallel playing' whilst my eldest does her history homework! #greenman #folklore #englishfolklore #britishfolklore #cardboard #cardboardart #recycledart #recycle #reuse #mythical #experiment #playing #artplay #historyhomework #newspaper #papiermache #greenmen https://www.instagram.com/p/B32YIWjAc54/?igshid=90gjlcv4kbeo

WASSAIL! An old English tradition of singing to the apple 🍎 🍏 trees 🌳 today in Devon - this ensures good harvest and banishes evil spirits. The word Wassail comes from Anglo-Saxon “be you healthy” and the tradition is likely from pagan times. in this photo the morrismen are dancing prior to the procession to the orchard. Video coming up on this. #wassail #wassailing #britishfolklore #folk #morrisdancing (at Sandford, Devon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsjaQcXAqYZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e4zn0xzug8ie

28.den #zezivotaaupair Čtvrtý týden. Nové zážitky, a setkání, noví přátelé,nové zkušenosti. Například dnes to byli tito Morris dancers, kteří zavítali k nám do odpoledního klubu, kde pracuju jako dobrovolnik. Morris dance je typický britský folklorní tanec, který má některé prvky španělského a italského lidového tance. První písemná zmínka o něm pochází z roku 1448. Díky britské expanzi najdeme týmy nejen v Británii, ale také v Kanadě, Austrálii, n Novém Zélandu nebo třeba v Hong Kongu. (zdroj:britská wikipedia - Morris dance) ~ 28th day #aupairslife Fourth week. New enjoyments, meetings, new friends, new experiences. For example today it was Morris dancers whose came to show preformance in to afternoon club where I volunteer. #britishfolklore #morrisdance #afternoonclub #british #folklore #fourthweek #videosoon #dnesfotim #culture #photooftheday #carpark #forestschool #horsham #volunteering #informations (v místě Forest School, Horsham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EzrFoFTy0/?igshid=e12mma4n6mjs
