1/2 In Eastern European #folklore the fern flower blooms only on Midsummer Eve. Finding it brings good fortune and the ability to speak to animals. It is guarded by evil spirits. 🎨William J. Webbe redbubble.com/shop/ap/161268… #FairytaleTuesday #mythology #art #homedecor #fairytale

2/2 Picking it will bring earthly riches but they won't bring happiness so it is left alone. Many young couples go into the woods on this night in search of the fern flower.

The name #midsummer was midsomer in Old English. Astronomically it falls on 6/21, but traditionally Northern Europe figured the Solstice and Midsummer on 6/23-24. redbubble.com/shop/ap/434858… #FairytaleTuesday #art #homedecor #folklore #mythology #wallart #SummerSolstice #gifts

1/2 Lady Midday or Poludnitsa is a demon in Slavic #mythology. She usually appears as a young woman in white & carries a scythe. She comes to the fields at noon on hot summer days & will ask difficult questions. redbubble.com/shop/ap/353694… #FairytaleTuesday #art #folklore #mythology

2/2 If you cannot answer she will cut off your head. The horror novel "Experimental Film" by Gemma files includes this #folklore, and was a great book. redbubble.com/shop/ap/336664… #books #bookchatweekly #SummerSolstice #Midsummer #fairytale #FairytaleTuesday #art #mythology #giftidea

1/2 The Holly King & the Oak King are locked in eternal battle representing winter & summer. #Midsummer sees the Oak King at his strongest. The Holly King regains power at Autumn equinox & is at his strongest at Winter Solstice.

2/2 The Gaelic equivalent is Cailleach & Brighde. Cailleach is a divine hag carrying a staff that freezes the ground. She rules the winter & Brighde rules the summer. redbubble.com/shop/ap/398999… #FairyaleTuesday #art #gifts #folklore #mythology #SummerSolstice #Midsummer #fairytale
