Its name means ‘teeth of the lion’ on account of its distinctive jagged leaves, and its cheery golden presence is often a prolific imprint of colour upon the landscape.` Source: Ali Isaac | Substack

Bevan ThomasUnlike the gods of many other mythologies, those of the Norse do get old and would die of old age, except that they regularly eat the Apples of Youth guarded by the goddess Idunn. King Gylfi of Sweden suggested that this perhaps makes Idunn the most important Norse deity. 🎨 James Doyle Penrose<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FolkloreSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FolkloreSunday</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mythology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Folklore</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Norse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Norse</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Vikings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vikings</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Scandinavia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Scandinavia</a>

It took the form of a powerful witch-queen called Carmun, who in its own land it was called the reaper or scythe, she who cuts the grain. Indeed if she was not given her due veneration the grain would fall rotten to the ground, and the fruits of the trees and beasts of the field alongside them! Her three sons were called Dubh, which means darkness, Dothur meaning evil, and Dian whose name was violence, and when these four landed on the shores of Leinster, all hell broke loose and a great hunger came to the people of Ireland.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> Source: Carmun the Sorceress | Emerald Isle Folklore and Fairy Tales

As he prayed for the boy to regain his health, a nearby willow tree began to produce fruit that were white and oblong in shape. These fruit, which were called ‘the milk-fruit of Kevin’ were healing and nourishing, and importantly, neither flavourful or bitter. Bland, like milk, you might say. St Kevin used these fruit to nurse the boy back to full health. They were subsequently found to cure various other illnesses, too.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/@NeuKelte/114846178619807663" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hear-me.social/@NeuKelte/114846178619807663</a>

It develops catkins in early spring, which when pollinated produce little capsules containing seed. These are the fruit, which burst when mature, dispersing the seed. While willow catkins, particularly that of the goat willow, are certainly edible, they are said to be very bitter.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a>

Then he would make a playful rush after them, pick up the hurley, ball, and javelin as he ran, while, before ever the spear’s tip touched the earth, he had caught it by the other end. Thus on he ran, scarce feeling tired, so engrossed was he in the game.“ <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> Source: Cuchulain, The Hound of Ulster, by Eleanor Hull

There they entertained him with sweet music and pleasant tales and games of chess, to hold him back from rushing to meet the foe; and they took from him his chariot and his weapons, and turned his chariot-steeds out into the fenced green, for they knew that if he should go forth at this time, he must surely fall. But the hero was restless and unhappy, and save that he had plighted his word to Emer and to all his friends he would not have entered the Glen. For Emer’s sake and theirs he went with them to the lightsome summer palace, and sat down with the poets and artists and the women-folk to listen to sweet beguiling music and tales of ancient deeds to while away the time.

The more Setne lost the game, the more the floor enveloped him.
