Of course a Swedish troll just had to have an entire herd of reindeer in its subterranean lair. Such are the wondrous worlds of John Bauer. #wyrdwednesday

With today being the last day to visit Star Wars Launch Bay at Disney's Hollywood Studios, my latest blog post is looking back at when that building was home to an animation studio as well as looking ahead to the return of The Magic of Disney Animation. tinyurl.com/2xptfn95

Ballybogs, also known as Peat Faeries, Mudbogs, and bogles, are said to be found in Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, and England. These toad-like creatures have squishy bodies and spindly legs, but are fierce, sharp-toothed guardians of the bogs, peatlands, and moors.✨ #folkloresunday

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily. "So it is." "And freezing." "Is it?" "Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately." -A. A. Milne, 'The House at Pooh Corner' #BookologyThursday 🎨: E. H. Shepard

What happens if you fall in love with a supernatural creature who lives in an underwater realm? "Agneta and the Sea King" is a Swedish fairy tale about the sad love story between the daughter of a lord and a merman with eyes like the depths of the sea. #FolkloreSunday

In the original tale of Aladdin, the princess Aladdin marries is named Badroulbadour, an Arabic name that means "full moon of full moons." She gets kidnapped by a sorceror but, with Aladdin's help, uses her feminine wiles to trick him into drinking poison. #FairyTaleTuesday

Tanuki tend to stay closer to humans in winter, using their magic to survive during the cold hard months of the year because food is so hard to find in the forests. Since real-life tanuki hibernate, seeing one is often considered a bad omen. #FolkloreSunday

In one of England's great folklore crossovers, the Devil's Punchbowl in Surrey was formed when the Norse god Thor, annoyed at the Devil jumping over the Devil's Jumps, threw the earth at him, thus creating the Punchbowl. #FolkyFriday

Every city hall should have a dragon scaling its walls. This statue lurks above Munich’s city hall on the Wurmeck, or ‘Serpent's Corner,’ and is based on a local legend about a winged monster who terrorized the village in the Middle Ages. Happy #AppreciateADragonDay✨
