The Civil War didn’t just change the nation. It gave rise to embalming, and America’s funeral industry as we know it. Here's my latest for HISTORY. #history #funeral #Americanlife 👉

The dark half was once believed to be the dreaming season. Earth sleeps, animals hibernate, and humans turn inward. Folklore says this is when the soul’s stories rise like breath in cold air. #FolkloreSunday

Winter paradoxes are woven into old stories. The darkest nights host the brightest stars. The coldest months hold the warmest feasts. Shadows deepen, yet hearth light grows. #FolkloreSunday Art: Susannah Helene

The dark half of the year asks a question older than myth. What will you carry into the cold, and what must be left behind? Folklore says the shadows speak more honestly than the sun ever does. #FolkloreSunday Art: Collin A. Clarke

Many tales say that winter gifts must be given by night, before dawn lifts the spell. Darkness protects enchantment; morning dissolves it. #FolkyFriday Art: Igor Grabar

In Iceland, the Yule Lads bring gifts to well-behaved children, but their mother, the giantess Grýla, devours the naughty ones. Winter generosity has sharp teeth in northern lore. #FolkyFriday Photo: Andrii Gladii

In folklore, “Father Christmas’s keys” could open any locked door to bring cheer to households in need. Some believed he lent the invisible keys to spirits who guided the lost home on winter nights. #FolkyFriday

Even today, the greatest gift in winter folklore is not the present itself but the reminder that in dark months, humans share light with one another. That has always been the heart of midwinter mythology. #FolkyFriday Art: Eugenia Gorbacheva

Some medieval tales say Father Christmas carried a great book of deeds rather than a bag of toys. The gift he offered was mercy, a chance to start the new year free of mischief and regret. #FolkyFriday

Before he became the jolly figure in red, Father Christmas was a spirit of midwinter feasting, a tall, green-robed wanderer who encouraged generosity, good cheer, and a full table for all. #FolkyFriday

Icarus teaches that flight is both gift and warning. The sun does not hate the flyer. It only reminds him that wonder must travel with wisdom. #bookologythursday Art: John Pitre

In myth, wings are never just wings. They are questions written in feathers. Who dares to rise. Who falls. Who learns the shape of the sky and survives the answer. #bookologythursday Art: Ed Schaap

In Appalachia, elders warned children never to follow quiet snowfall into deep woods. Soft storms were said to hide sinkholes, spirits, and sudden drifts that swallowed sound and memory whole. #legendarywednesday Art: mandsartteam
