In Ireland, Phooka is a goblin-like being. A bringer of both of good and bad fortune. A shapeshifter able to take the form of a cat or hare in: "Boggarts, Brownies, Hobs and their Goblin Kin; an Encyclopedia of World Folklore" by Stephen G. Rae folklorepress.co.uk #bookologythursday #folklore

The Peddlar of Swaffham travels to old London Bridge and waits three days to find his fortune. The journey is successful- but not in a way you might expect #WyrdWednesday #Norfolk #britishfolklore

If you find yourself in Norwich over the next few weeks please get yourself along to Mandells Gallery on Elm Hill. The Being Woman Show is well worth a visit and I'd love for you to see my paintings in the show #norfolkartists #folklore #Mabinogi #britishfolklore #Norwich

The Dauntless Girl, from the Norfolk tale of Mary - fearlessly she goes into the "dead house" and retrieves a skull bone, has dealings with ghosts and is , in all aspects, Dauntless #mythologymonday #norfolkfolklore

The period of time between February 1st and May 1st is a part of the year where power is in flux between Brigid and the Cailleach. Brigid will prevail - with her sunshine and her blooming hedgerows but when exactly that happens is decided between two goddesses #Cailleach #britishfolklore #brigid

I spotted this moth in my garden this week. Hadn't seen one before. Turns out it's a boxwoodmoth. Him and his friends have pretty much destroyed my garden in just one season. As you can imagine I have complex feelings about him #norfolkmoth #mothuk #natureinmygarden #boxwoodmoth
