Did you know Johnny Appleseed was based on a real person and he had a very specific reason for planting all those orchards? #folksky #folkloresky #folklore

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿

Here we go. My first post here ever. John Atkinson Grimshaw:

German painter Heinrich Gogarten (1850-1911), an expert in capturing winter's mood, was renowned for evoking its eerie stillness through light. As the nights grow longer, the setting sun burns red, and a supernatural chill fills the air... 🎨 "Sunset over the Winter Forest" #gothic #art

Almost all mental health problems and mental illnesses are more common in autistic people than in the general population. This new publication by R . C . Psychiatry is an excellent resource for information and practical matters surrounding autism and mental health www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-healt...

'When the last colours of the day Have from their burning ebbed away, About that ruin, cold and lone, The cricket shrills from stone to stone; And scattering o'er its darkened green, Bands of fairies may be seen.' ~Walter de la Mare 🎨John Anster Fitzgerald

After the kind praise from @ryanshirlow.bsky.social yesterday here is our reworking of 'Over The Hills and Far Away'. We wanted to rethink the Georgian jingoistic jolly soldier-boy stance of the original and give the perspective of a WW1 widow. fennycompton.bandcamp.com/track/over-t... #folkmusic

A while ago I read about how wolves and crows work together in the wild. Crows help the wolves to find prey and get a share of the meat in return. They also bring gifts of sticks for the pups to play with. I absolutely loved this and couldn't resist painting them. #art #wildlife #animals

Is #StandingStoneSunday a thing here? A little throwback to my spring adventure in the middle of some very famous stones

Stones hold stories like lithic batteries. They store not only the mythic, but profoundly personal tales. For as much as may be petrified warriors, giants' playing pieces, they're also sites of first kiss, the awe found in time's long shadow. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Another walk this morning and more fungi focusing

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

I've made a starter pack for folk horror and folklore. It's pretty bare bones right now--don't hesitate to let me know if you want to be added if you do art, music, fiction, or research. It's being a little glitchy about letting me add people right now, but I'll figure it out! go.bsky.app/Fo9dTVA
