Apparently 17th century women had no time for your shit.

Paintings respectively by Artemisia Gentileschi & Elisabetta Sirani
A masterpiece realistic painting of two women holding a man down so they can saw his head off with a small dagger. they have very no-nonsense expressions on their faces. A masterpiece realistic painting of a woman toppling a man into a well head first. she looks like she is thinking about what to have for lunch.

A fog-like thing, bigger than a man, is swallowing a man whole: his legs and feet can be seen protruding from its mouth.

"I was only going to say that heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on top of Wuthering Heights; where I woke sobbing for joy."

At the back of the drawing were some lines of writing ...

Saint Bernard, who puttest devils to flight, pray for me most unhappy. I saw it first on the night of Dec. 12, 1694: soon I shall see it for the last time. I have sinned and suffered, and have more to suffer yet. Dec. 29, 1701.

An extremely detailed black and white drawing of a night riding a horse. There is a devilish looking man behind him and a demonic looking goat as well as myriad other background details it would take hundreds of words to describe...

Star-shaped Epiphany cookies, piparkakut, can be used to make wishes. Hold a cookie in one hand, and use a digit from the opposite hand to break the cookie into three pieces: eat them before another word is said and your wish will come true.

The love of a bone dog, she thought, bending her head down over the paw again. All that I am worth these days.

Then again, few humans were truly worth the love of a living dog. Some gifts you could never deserve.

I was a little bit ill on Friday, and totally forgot I'd set up an exhibition for Krampusnacht!

It features the video I made of last year's trip to watch the Krampuslauf in Welschnofen (Nova Levante), South Tyrol, in northern Italy near Bolzano.

Oh, forgiveness.
So powerful, a blade
that can slice away rot
so a wound doesn't fester.
But take care that instrument
isn't weaponized, twisted
into the wound, leaving only you
with the pain.

"Amazonian" women continually find ways to break taboos, defy opinion, survive the injury and wounds which follow, heal their hurt, and even withstand over decades the social and professional ostracism meted out to rebels and other non-conformists.

After today's show, you'll be the most interesting guest at dinner with *fascinating* tidbits about the history of tableware.

For example, the fork was originally viewed as sinful, but then pasta got involved. 😈

Get the details and be the life of the Thanksgiving party!

Question One of the Great #HouseholdLore Publication Day Quiz! Of Roofs and Attics. Bonus folklore: thatchers used to 'sign' their work with bespoke finials so everyone could see who'd thatched what. #WatkinsWisdom #Folklore #Booksky #Crafts #PublicationDay
The Great Household Lore Publication Day Quiz. Question One - of Roofs and Attics Finials are said to deter flying witches from landing on your roof, due to their reputation for tearing the witches’ clothing. However, in California, there is a relatively new tradition of putting an ornamental owl up on the roof as finial. Other than detering other birds from landing up there, what else is the owl said to be a talisman against?
