In Celtic mythology deer are connected to the fairy realm or Otherworld. They are messengers associated with spirits, or gods who may shape shift into the form of deer. Some tales say they are “fairy cattle" herded and milked by an otherworldly woman.

'It was then one o'clock, and it was midsummer, the very time that twelve years before John had gone down into the hill. ... they saw the glass hill open, and the rays of the light of heaven shine on them after so many years ...'

Robert Graves suggests that, in Ancient Britain and Ireland, the Oak King ruled when the Sun was waxing, while the Holly King, who ruled over the Waning Sun, began his rule at the Summer Solstice. #FairyTaleTuesday #FairyTaleFlash @AmandaBergloff @fairytaleflash @FairyTale_Tues

I kept thinking how much good the rain will do and how glad my garden must be for it, and imagining what the flowers and buds would think when the drops began to fall.

Samson was a Nazarite who took a vow never to shave or cut his hair. God blessed him with great strength and made him Judge over Israel. The harlot Delilah had him shaved while he slept in exchange for 5,500 shekels from the Philistine leaders, who captured him. #MythologyMonday

Hans Christian Andersen’s Nightingale tells of a Chinese Emperor’s obsession with a nightingale. When he acquires a mechanical nightingale, he ignores the real bird. As the Emperor lies dying, it is the real bird's song that saves his life.

The wren is linked to the arrival of spring in Celtic cultures.
Killing one is associated with bad luck, such as broken bones.
In Wales, the appearance of wrens signaled that spring was on its way. The Welsh word for wren is dryw, which means “druid.” #FolkloreSunday
