Mythology Monday: Chinese Vampires Are Different
Today, our weekly journey through folklore takes us to China, where we shall explore the jiangshi, or hopping vampire.
Why are they called this? Because they get around by hopping.
Mythology Monday: Medusa Gets Royally Shafted And Then Dies
(Content warning; this post contains discussion of sexual assault.)
So, Medusa. Most people know the basics of her story: lady with snakes for hair, turned men to stone with a glance. Which, you know, goals.
What’s interesting about Medusa is that her origin is different depending on which version you hear. In the original, Medusa and her sisters Stheno and Euryale were always monsters: specifically, gorgons.
The Roman poet Ovid, however, changed things up a little bit. So, because that version is more interesting to me (if also kinda infuriating), that’s the one I’m going to be talking about today.
Mythology Monday: Cu Chulainn’s Rocky Montage
This Monday I’m finally heading back to the Ulster Cycle, where I will now tell you the tale of Cu Chulainn’s training with the warrior woman Scathach.
Mythology Monday: That Time Horus Made Set A Salad
We’re heading back to ancient Egypt this week, where I shall regale you with one of the sillier tales. Or, at the very least, it seems silly to us today. Oh, and a quick warning before we go: this particular yarn is very much not safe for work.
Star Trek Discovery Recaps: “Into The Forest I Go”
Images are from Trek Caps, the existence of which saved my ass when I suffered a catastrophic external hard drive failure.
Well, this episode certainly takes a turn.
Mythology Monday: Orpheus Can’t Follow Simple Instructions
This week, we’re going to go back to Greece and a tale that has some familiar elements if you’ve been reading these posts for a while.
Mythology Monday: The Time Thor Wore A Dress
Welcome back to Mythology Monday! Today, I’m going to talk about yet another Norse myth. This one involves Thor crossdressing in a bid to get his stolen hammer back. To be fair, I’ve seen dudes crossdress for less.
Mythology Monday: That Time Amaterasu Hung Out In A Cave
So, in a post I made earlier this month I told you all about Izanagi and Izanami, and mentioned three other gods. This story is about one of them, specifically Amaterasu.
Tiers, and the changing thereof
Hello, friends!
You may have noticed that I’ve changed the tiers on my Patreon a little bit. I wasn’t particularly fond of the $5 tier, since nothing in it seemed all that great. With that, I decided to make post suggestions open to all patrons (well, all readers of the blog, really, but patrons get shot up to the front of the list). I also decided to offer a tangible reward for the second tier. Basically, that reward is that I will knit or crochet an item and send it to patrons who give $10/post or more. These would be smaller items, such as a hat, scarf, wrist warmers, or washcloths. Bigger items, such as blankets, would be a bit prohibitive in both cost of materials and shipping, unless it’s a small blanket for a baby or pet.
I’m thinking that this change makes things a little bit clearer, and would offer supporters a more tangible reward for their support.
Thanks, guys!
