🏰I'm taking you with me to Corvin Castle, #medieval #Transylvania . We took shelter in the cool upper balcony, by the Queen's room. Look, down is the Quadriporticus, the courtyard surrounded by colonnaded porticoes.

🌊 A witch's staff asking us Question, don't you ❓

Spotted this guy on a lonely beach. Some staffs are said to carry their own spirit within.

A blackthorn staff was considered a badge of witchcraft.

He descends upon maidens
on wings of sleep,
tormenting them until they weep
of longing, remembering none
when dawn flushes
their waxen cheeks.

Romanian myth of FLY BOY, a symbol for impossible love.

#LegendaryWednesday #Im4Ro
🗿Amore e Psiche by Canova

💧Romanian folklore tells us that swallows announce rainy weather when they fly low.

🍀Swallows also bring good luck so don’t kill their chicks or destroy their nests.

The #skull & cross #bones is not only a pirates' flag. Come WW1, Royal Navy 1st flew the Joly Roger after sinking a German submarin, as submarines were considered un-british. Come #WW2 , Royal Navy submarines fly the Joly Roger to mark each victory... #symbolism 🚢

And in the dark of Saint George's night
enchantresses searched the woods around
for a rabid #wolf to put a #spell ,
to steal its howl and keep it locked
till put to evil use they will-
charming men into submission,for good.
