“Mark the fair blooming of the hawthorn-tree,
Who, finely clothed in a robe of white,
Feeds full the wanton eye with May’s delight.” - William Browne

The hawthorn is another birth flower of this month. It symbolises #hope & the bond of a committed relationship. #FolkloreThursday

In one tradition every night the moon nibbles away a bit of the 9.3m tall menhir of Champ Dolent in Dol-de-Bretagne (Ille-et-Vilaine). In another it is sinking in to the ground by an inch every 100 years. When it finally disappears, the world will end. #FolkloreThursday .

☁️☀️☁️Sun lore:
It was said to be unlucky to point at the sun, as the act was thought disrespectful.
If the sun shines on a liar, they cannot see its light or feel its warmth.
It will always shine on a Saturday, if only for a moment.

The Llanddona Witches of Wales had a curse for horrid men:
'May he wander for ages many;
And at every step, a stile;
At every stile, a fall;
At every fall, a broken bone;
Not the largest, nor the least bone,
But the chief neck bone, every time'

My late grandfather would recall that, on a summer's evening, merfolk would bask on rocks that stretch out to the sea beyond Turnberry Lighthouse. Their mesmerising song capturing the heart of many an Ayrshire lad and lassie
