#FolkyFriday channels Norse & British lore! #Acorns on windowsills were believed to ward off lightning a nod to Thor Norse god of thunder, whose sacred Oak shielded him in storms. Nordic homes honored this, while Fairies are said to live in Oaks & wear acorn hats! 🌰 🌰 #AcornCharms #FairyFriday 🧚‍♀

Shakespeare’s witches summon “Graymalkin” and “Paddock,” a cat and a toad, as if pets themselves were co-conspirators in fate. The line between companion and familiar vanishes in a puff of smoke. #BookologyThursday Art: Ocean's Bridge

The pharaohs kept cats not as mere pets but as divine guardians. Bastet, the cat goddess, blurred house and temple, protector and companion. Ancient art shows lap cats honored like royalty. As they should be! #BookologyThursday

I find cats weirdly difficult to draw (they’re complex and mysterious, as is their right of course) so I’ve been doing little warmup thumbnails using @bodegacats.bsky.social as reference. Each one of these is about 2 and a half inches tall.

In June 1919, navigator Arthur Brown, this black cat toy called Twinkletoes, and pilot John Alcock made the first nonstop Atlantic flight. Twinkletoes rode in Arthur’s Jacket. Both men had served in the Royal Flying Corps during WWI. You can see him in RAF Cosford Museum. #luckycharm #WW1 #folklore

When a cat washes behind its ears, it is thought to be a sign of impending rain and gales. In Welsh folklore, cats are thought to bring luck good luck into the home. #InternationalCatDay

In the misty mountains of Kuaiji, legend speaks of the Cat Immortal Cai, a mysterious figure in Chinese #folklore who ruled over a thousand cats. Dwelling deep in the wilds, he summoned them with a mere wave of his hand, each feline answering his call with fierce devotion. 1/2 #caturday

I played "hunt the cat deities" during a recent visit to Manchester Museum and found Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess. One of the many daughters of Ra the sun god, early depictions of Bastet show a woman with the head of a lioness, while later she is a cat or a woman with a cat's head. #Caturday

In Chinese folklore, the zodiac’s order was decided by a celestial race. The clever rat hitched a ride on the ox, leaping ahead at the last moment to claim first place. But it had secretly betrayed the cat, never delivering the promised wake-up call 1/2 #cat #caturday
