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.

So, Japan has some fairly…interesting creatures in its folklore. This is certainly one of them. Today, we’re going to take a look at the shirime.

You know, things are kinda shitty right now. So let’s talk about something a little more cheerful, like the end of the world!
Today we’re going to talk about Ragnarok.

This week, we’re taking a look at something that combines two of my favorite things: soul-sucking monsters and kitties!

I’ve heard of people not getting along with their in-laws, but never quite to this extreme.

Welcome back to Mythology Monday! During this, the spookiest of seasons, I’ll be talking about one of Irish mythology’s most dangerous creatures: the Dullahan.
It’s still September, you say? Silly child! Didn’t you know Halloween starts the day after Labor Day?

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.

So, a lot of people like to talk about how metal and brutal Norse mythology is. Oh, my sweet, sweet summer children. Norse mythology doesn’t hold a fucking candle to Aztec mythology. For example, the Aztec believed that not only has the world ended, it’s ended four fucking times.

So, for this week we’re going back to Ancient Egypt, where I shall weave you a tale of wedding tackle made of gold.
Well, not just that, but that’s probably the most amusing bit to this tale, though I’m sure the ancient Egyptians might disagree with me on that one.
