Oh, my heart. 💔 I published my debut novella, FROM THESE DARK ABODES, with Psychopomp, and it was such a nurturing and positive experience. Absolutely gutted to see Psychopomp and Fantasy end, but I am so glad we still have The Deadlands with us.

Sitting politely

Since there’s so many new people here now I would like you all to see Moo and Moe :3 May these goobers bless your timelines today 💜💜

Guys, I want to write about a menorah pendant, but reply to help me pick which specific one: 1) With fake Hebrew 2) With grapevines (interesting bacchic thing going on) 3) With inscription indicating it is an amulet 4) Totally typical OG glass menorah pendant with shofar, lulav, & etrog

Since it's an Amazon Original Story, I think P. Djeli Clark's latest is only available there, but CRONUS is a great short story. Clark scratches a similar itch for me as Grant Morrison and Catherynne Valente, blending mythology with sci-fi & fantasy, but with a more immediate sociopolitical outlook.

This team are searching for new "Asgard archaea" to sequence. Let's talk about why these bacteria-like organisms are so fascinating, why they're named for Norse mythology, and why looking at them is unlocking a better understanding of our own genomes. Once considered a type of oddball bacteria🦠...

Is there a Celtic flood story? Because there are flood stories from different indigenous groups around the world. In Canada, the Haida story of the flood is encapsulated in a plaster sculpture in the Canadian Museum of History. It’s the Raven in Haida mythology who steals the sun back for mankind.

Floods are common across cultures. Welsh mythology features several flood stories, most notably the legend of the monster Afanc which caused a great deluge, and the tale of the sunken kingdom of Cantre'r Gwaelod, lost due to a gatekeeper's negligence. It's not an area I've looked into much.

In Celtic folklore, the wren is known as a "king of the birds". It represents the old year where its symbolic capture on St. Stephen's Day cleansed the community for the new year. In a Christian-influenced tale, the wren is portrayed as betraying St Stephen and bringing misfortune. #Folklore

The thing about SFF is that new writers are coming into the genre under the illusion that they don't have to research. Especially if you are using mythology or creatures from someone else's culture. #SFF #FantasyWriters #PNR

And how do you know this, Desiree? Because Amazon's algorithms noticed my fondness for mythology and folklore. And now sends third-rate self-published romantasy to my "suggested for you" non-stop

In @mikemignola.bsky.social's BOWLING WITH CORPSES, Mignola combines his experience in writing about mythology, religion, superheroes, and folklore into a postmodern stew of a "shared universe," to explore questions of meaning and purpose after the gods have left the world behind.

I'm starting an AI company called Tantalus. I haven't read the mythology, but I'm sure things go very well for him

Hi!! Thanks for hosting. I'm Igor, and I like to draw characters with a hint of mythology/folklore in them. Here's some of my work:

There is no frenzied housecleaning like the frenzied housecleaning of the household whose in-laws are on a plane heading this direction. And also, there are no distracting book collections like the ones I just pawed through, "organizing" the folklore/fairytale/mythology sections.

If you like classics/Greek mythology/ancient stuff/history or know someone who does, may I humbly recommend our book as a Christmas gift? It's full of bite-size introductions to mythological characters and concepts and the money goes to a good cause! www.workingclassicists.com/a-periodic-t...

“Dream Eater” aims for supernatural dread but lands closer to a cautionary tale about couples who should have broken up ages ago & worked on themselves. More tedious than terrifying, its mythology feels undercooked while the relationship dynamics are terrifying sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/dream...

5 or so years ago, my family decided that, instead of giving traditional gifts, we'd have a book exchange. In that spirit, here's a list of unique, wide-appeal books for #FridayBooksRecs to help you gift something special for that hard to shop for person in your life.

don't tell me what historical person you'd like to have a discussion with. tell me what figure from mythology you'd like to talk to. which god would you like to have a long conversation with?

For this #folklorefriday we’re heading off to Scotland to talk about the Glastig. She is a shape shifter that commonly takes the form of a half woman, half goat. They are similar in appearance to a Satyr from Greek mythology.

University Park is adjacent to the incredible Indiana World War Memorial. But that's another thread. 5/

Bronze children dance around the base of the Depew Fountain, which was completed in 1919, built using money donated to the city by Emma Ely Depew in memory of her husband. 4/

On the west side of the fountain sits a bronze statue of the satyr Pan on a stump, playing reed pipes with his, erm, undersides on display—which has caused him to be the subject of multiple controversies, alterations, and the theft of the original in 1970, and then of the replacement in 1980. 2/

University Park in Indianapolis, designated a park in 1876, re-designed in 1915 and populated in the ensuing decade. Named after a university that never was, and highlighted by an elaborate fountain and a storied pair of bronze statues. 1/

On the east side sits a bronze sculpture of the wood nymph Syrinx. In Greek myth Syrinx asks the river nymphs to transform her into reeds to escape Pan's pursuit, which he then uses to make his pipes. The original Syrinx sculpture was stolen in 1959 and replaced along with Pan in 1973. 3/

Just had a slightly stressful dream where the Flash's (Grant Gustin) dad (Joe West) gets a call from Miles Morales (Spider Man) as someone (me? idk?) is doing some kind of magic spell (I think to try to purify toxic city pool/water?) and destroying the city/multiverse/spiderverse/DC/Marvel divide.
