The Chinese Pipa has traditionally been associated with courtesans. As she holds the Pipa that accompanied her wanderings and plucks the strings, she softly tells the listener of her sufferings of life, but hides a longing for eternal love.#art 🎨TaoGu Presenting a Lyric,by唐寅

Like the Chinese dragon, the heavenly-horse is also a powerful creature in Chinese #mythology. One legend states that there is a heavenly-horse which can fly&sweat blood when it runs. It is believed that the sculptures of the Heavenly Horse in graves can take souls into afterlife

In Celtic lore the realm of the fae is always reached through a portal. Once the warrior Oisin wounded a hare on its leg. Chasing it through a door in the ground he came to a large hall. There on a throne was a beautiful young woman bleeding from a leg wound. #FairyTaleTuesday

For Druids the skies are an open book where stories of our ancestors are recounted each night. The sky is home to the gods and the goddesses, and animal spirit guides who were driven into exile. #folkloresunday #druids

Headless horsemen lore far exceeds Sleepy Hollow. In Irish lore, it was said that if one died, a silent death coach, the Cóiste Bodhar, might appear, drawn by four black horses, & driven by a headless horseman —called the Dullahan 😱 #FolkloreSunday

The púca (Irish for spirit/ghost) is a mischievous shapeshifter, often taking the form of a rabbit, goat or black horse with red eyes. The trickster púcaí are known to be capricious, either wreaking havoc or bringing good luck. #ofdarkandmacabre #31daysofhaunting
