“Homay” is the first song in the Bashkort language to top a major international chart. It tells the story of the mythical creature Homay, one of the protagonists of the monumental Bashkort epic poem "Ural Batır,” and uses a variety of traditional instruments and vocal techniques combined with a groovy electronic beat.

Digging into the "Gift of the Little People" folktale type (ATU 503), where someone joins the singing of fairies and gets rewarded for it. The human usually adds a few days to the song of "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday!", delighting the fairies.

Hungarian versions, once again, have to be extra about it.

Instead of singing fairies, we have singing skeletons. And they get angry when someone adds "Monday" to their song.

Highly relatable.

#FolkloreThursday: `When death approached, the #skriker appeared like a Banshee, predicting the event to come. Sometimes this portentous figure wandered the forests of #Yorkshire and #Lancashire, screaming. Or like other #fairies he engaged in shape-shifting, transforming himself into a terrifying dog.`

#FolkloreThursday: `In the North Riding of #Yorkshire, Jeannie of Biggersdale was said to live in Musgrave Woods where, like other #bogies or #boggarts, this dreadful spirit threatened passing travelers. One farmer who attempted to drive her out of the region lost his horse when Jeannie cut it in two. The man was lucky to escape with his life.`

Such elemental spirits are found in many cultures; in the case of these “Green Ladies”, they were especially associated with the wind, on which they traveled across the land, making plants grow with their breath. They could also take human form, always being dressed in green, a color known in #Ireland to be the favorite choice of the #fairy people.` Source: P.

#FolkloreThursday: `The #wodwose/#woodwose is a British and #Scottish folkloric figure. In the forests, it was long believed, lived great hairy wild men, shy beings who avoided human contact but did no harm to anyone. Some traditional British dances and mummers’ parades include cavorting imitations of the wodwose.`

X (formerly Twitter)Potty-Mouthed Ex-Pastor’s Wife (@SwearingsCaring) on X@FormerPoet This is a strange looking card but it’s a picture of the Wodwose, a wild creature of the forest. The idea is that the challenges you face test your resolve and show you want you truly want and are willing to fight for. Respect
