Lily's Lore and Legends

Fairy Tale Lore from Around the World - Little Red Riding Hood  Fairy tales are wonderful things, aren't they? Adorable stories of children learning valuable life lessons while encountering cute critters who sing and evil women offering tempting treats to innocent souls. But fairy tales weren't always so movie-like with bright songs and happily never afters. They really were rather grim, even before the brothers stepped in. This year for Halloween, I'm looking at fairy tales from around the world and attempting to see where their tales originally spun themselves into the local lore. And the first tale plucked out of my personal fairy tale book collection is Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red Riding Hood Possible Origins The origins of Red aren't as simple as people probably think. In fact, it's believed the oral tale that inspired the version we know today didn't even include people! But there was a wolf trying to feast on the helpless, which in this case were h

YouTube Issues This was bound to happen, right? I start getting my head above water suddenly I have an issue that makes me realize I am nowhere near shore. But I got a notification that YouTube and I were permanently broken up and I had a good cry over it, when to beg them to take me back, only to find out they already had. That's embarrassing on both sides... But as a result, I realize I have a lot of friends, lore lovers, and Lore Lovers who I would greatly miss if this were to happen again and anywhere else. So please do me the biggest solid and sign up for my email list. Because while I didn't ugly cry this time, I will next time. And no one wants to see that happen. (Also, I really don't send that many emails, currently I'm at one every week or two max and you can pick your preference on alerts.)

  Just for Fun - Tarot Card Pull - September 23, 2024 This week's card is the Eight of Wands and once again from the  Tarot Familiars deck by Lisa Parker . Per her booklet, the Eight of Wands means: * Normal position: Swift activity, speed, hastily made decisions. * Reversed position: Thorns of dispute, jealousy, harassment, quarrels, delay, discord. Interesting, interesting. I actually did a couple of card pulls today and every draw was a Wands card.

Just for Fun - Tarot Card Pull - September 16, 2024 This week's card is the Ten of Swords and from one of my favorite decks, Tarot of the Divine by Yoshi Yoshitani . This deck is "inspired by deities, folklore, & fairy tales from around the world" and there is a stunning companion lore book I plan on discussing in an upcoming library look. Per the author's guidebook, the Ten of Swords means: * Upright: Bitterness, betrayal, rock bottom, martyrdom, severing ties * Reversed: Surviving disaster, recovery, regeneration, the inevitable The card art represents Sedna from Inuit Mythology and the guidebook has a brief overview of the scene depicted. Click here for more information on Sedna and all her lore. We all see what we need to in the meaning of the cards. This could be seen as a "negative" card meaning, but I don't like to think in that way. When we hit our bottom, the only place to go is up (don't be that person and say you can move to the side

#PocketLore - Calgary, Alberta, Canada On January 24, 1948, the Calgary Herald in Calgary, Alberta reported on page 11 about a ghostly woman in a white flowing gown. However, the girls who saw the ghost did not want the reporter to stay the night to see the ghost. Interesting... View more Pocket Lore Text reads: Girls Have Ghost But Want To Forget It Manifestation in Long White Gown Reported at Lougheed House An unobtrusive ghost has been reported paying occasional visits to the top floor of the Lougheed House, 707 13th Ave. W., used as sleeping quarters by 11 girls who are on the staff of the Red Cross blood donor clinic, but the girls would just as soon not discuss the subject. The ghost, "a woman in white flowing gown", was mentioned by Mrs. T. L. O'Keefe, co-chairman of the house committee, at the an- nual Red Cross branch meeting Thursday night. But when a Herald reporter offered to spend the night in the Lougheed House to see for herself what the ghost looked like,

Electromagnetic Field (EMF) - Lily's Lore Lingo An electromagnetic field (also EM field) is a physical field, mathematical functions of position and time, representing the influences on and due to electric charges. The field at any point in space and time can be regarded as a combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. Because of the interrelationship between the fields, a disturbance in the electric field can create a disturbance in the magnetic field which in turn affects the electric field, leading to an oscillation that propagates through space, known as an electromagnetic wave.
