Gwyddbwyll Gwenddoleu ap Ceidio - one of the 13 Treasures of Britain - was an enchanted game where silver chessmen played by themselves on a gold board. Peredur throws the board into a lake in annoyance after backing the losing side!

The Royal Game of Ur is the oldest board game ever found, played 4,500 years ago in Mesopotamia. Its moves were believed to reveal a player’s destiny. Today’s equivalent might be Azul or Sagrada, where patterns feel almost ceremonial. #FolkyFriday

Hoy os traigo a Nantosuelta, diosa celta protectora del hogar y de la abundancia. Se la representa con una cornucopia y con un cuervo (como a Morrigan) y muchas veces aparece junto a su consorte Sucellus. Se la veneraba en la Galia

With jewels, elfin Urim, on the hilt,
Bewildering heart and eye--the blade so bright
That men are blinded by it...'

Grýla is a troll-like crone who lives in the Icelandic wilderness. Although she dates back to medieval times, she most recently appeared as a Christmas Witch in the 2024 film Red One ❤️🎄

In 1283, Alphonso X of Castile commissioned the Libro de los Juegos (Book of Games); a treatise on the games of chess, dice and tables (early backgammon) based on Arabic works. Regarded as "the greatest source of information on board games ever compiled during the Middle Ages." #FolkloreThursday

When the Egyptian folk hero Setne broke into the tomb of Prince Naneferkaptah to steal a magic book, the prince's mummy challenged him to senet, an old Egyptian board game. The more Setne lost the game, the more the floor enveloped him. However, he used magic amulets to break free.

In rural Europe, household spirits like the domovoi and kobold once expected small offerings of bread, beer, or a drop of blood from a butchered animal. A neglected spirit could wreak havoc in the dark hours. #FolkyFriday
