There is great power in herbs - but this power should not be abused.

As German exorcists were usually unable to banish ghosts to the afterlife directly, they always sought new places to imprison them in this world - and trees were a popular choice.

Everyday #Folklore, Marketing Edition: I recently bought this bag on Amazon because (1) it's canvas and all the compartments zip or clip, (2) it will hold my iPad, and (3) I'm leaving for Reykjavik soon to attend a conference and wanted a bag that would travel well with me. But the video ad for this bag was interesting.

And now a troll has creeped me out:
“Now a troll lived in the mountains there in those days, and had been desirous of the girl ever since she had begun to herd her father’s cows, when she was but small. One day, when the girl was scarcely grown up, it spoke to her father, saying that if it could have the girl, then it would do what it could for her father and her folk.”
There are a lot of tree spirits in mythology and folklore. But some are stranger than others...

Today on #WomensEpics: Long-Fingered-Woman
Three Ainu epics made it into this series; this is the first one. I fell in love with that whole tradition, for many reasons.
Long-Fingered-Woman is the name of the Ainu spider goddess. In this story, she has to deal with an unwanted suitor, and she does so in a genius way, while staying cool and nonchalant.

In European folklore, witches and warlocks liked to transform into rabbits and hares in order to sneak onto a farm to cause trouble. If the crops died or the animals got sick, the farmers would often blame any rabbit or hare they recently saw on their property.
Be kind to cats!
“‘Shoo, cat!’ the girl cried, kicking at it.
“The boy picked up the cat and held it in his arms, gently stroking its back. ‘Promise that you shall never be mean to the cat,’ he said.”
