Fables and Folklore

Each Uisge (Aughisky): Much like the Kelpie and the Brag, these Celtic water horses found in the Scottish Highlands and in some parts of Ireland do not like humans. Unlike the Kelpie, the each uisge prefers lochs and sea inlets. The each uisge takes the appearance of a beautiful horse and beckons for a traveler to mount. If he does, he will be taken on a wild ride ending up underwater, where he will drown and be devoured by the each uisge. Glashtyn: Another name for the færie water-horse on the Isle of Man is the glashtyn. The glashtyn is described as a goblin that often rises out of the water and is similar in nature to the Manx brownie. Like the kelpie, the glashtyn appears as a horse: specifically, a gray colt. It is often seen on the banks of lakes and appears only at night. Kelpie: A Kelpie, in Scottish legend is a creature, which is said to be in league with the devil. Usually it is a black beast part horse and part bull, with two sharp horns. It has the ability to change its shape and usually when it did; it would take the form of a beautiful white horse. If passersby mounted the horse it would immediately gallop into the water and drown the rider. The Kelpie would then eat the flesh of the drowned victim. In other stories, the Kelpie would take the form of a handsome young man. However, the man would always have wet hair with waterweed tangled in it. If a young woman did not notice this, she would go to the man that is wooing her, and lead her to a watery grave. Selkie (Silkie, Selchie): Living off the coasts of the Orkney and Sheltland islands, these seal-people live under the water. Their normal appearance is human; however, they have seal skins with which they swim through the sea. When Selkies come ashore, they hide this seal skin. If a man finds a selkie maiden's seal-skin and can successfully hide it from her, he can force her to marry him. If however, at any point, the selkie finds her skin, she will return to the sea. They say that male selkies can take human lovers. It is also said that people born with webbed hands or feet are selkie-born.

It's not because some brunette was jealous, as some would have you to believe. All stereotypes all false. That includes that all black people are dumb, blondes are dumb, gingers are man-eaters etc, it's all lies created by someone at the top trying to cause as much problems as possible.

Superstitions are the result of observance of cause and effect. People sometimes ascribe more importance to events than they should, but once an idea is implanted the human mind often then looks for "proof".

For example:

- Ill luck to walk under a ladder - if someone is working above something could fall on you.

- a baseball player who won't play without his "lucky" shirt. He remembers the wins he experienced while wearing it, and attributes a loss to not having it. Hence he believes he can't win without it and his mind makes that a fact.

Looking into the origin of a specific superstition will often point out the original cause and the effect it had.

Folklore is a the texture of a given people in a given place. It is the seed that germinated national identity and tribal bonding. Even those who react against the folk gestalt are still affected by it in a fundamental way. Deny everything you were raised with, and you still carry it with you, generally more than those who accept it. The one who accepts can build on it, or move beyond it or even disprove it without . Yet the rebel can only do the opposite of what he objects to.

One ignores childhood stories at one's peril. Without understanding the power of myth, one fails to understand human nature. Social history has no context without knowledge of human nature.

It's important to address this issue promptly and with caution.

by showing him/her a garlic, cross, or a mirror, or exposed to a daylight, that simple.

Correct but here are some more elaborate tips:

You can tell that someone is a vampire if:

1. They have black eyes which would fill there whole eyeball.

2. They would be extremely pale as if they had no blood in them.

3. They would of course have fangs where their upper canine teeth should be.

4. They would fear the sunlight and wear mostly dark clothing that hides their skin even in the most absurd conditions (warning: they can build up a kind of immunity to sunlight!).

5. They would mostly be out and about in the night and rarely during the day.

6. They would most likely where sunglasses and/or a hat at almost all times even when unnecessary.

7. Their strength and speed would be most unnatural and definitely much more than that of a normal man or woman.

8. Their senses (e.g. sight, hearing, smell, etc.) would be very strong: they could hear things from far away, can see things most people can't, and can smell things you could not.

9. Their skin (if you ever felt it) would be ice cold.

10. They would not have anything to do with religion, especially the Christian religion.

11. If they touch silver they would begin to burst into flames.

12. They would not appear in reflections or pictures (not quite sure though).

I'm afraid that garlic might not do the trick but you might want to check to be sure.

Argus Panoptes: In Greek mythology, brother to the nymph Io, Argus was a giant with a hundred eyes. His great service to the Olympian pantheon was to slay the chthonic serpent-legged monster Echidna as she slept in her cave. He then had to guard a white heifer from the god Zeus, but in reality the heifer was Io, whom Zeus wanted to couple with. Zeus had Argus slain by the god Hermes, and his hundred eyes were preserved in the peacock's tail forever.

Many numbers are considered to be lucky. In the US 7 is very popular and in Japan 10 is one of the most popular numbers. The most luckiest of numbers though are those that WE deem to BE lucky. It is lucky for me because I believe it to be so. Many people have a favorite number and because they like that number it becomes their favorite. For some people is is the birthday of their child. The day something really good happens to them, like if someone met their future husband on the 5th of July, the number 5 may become their "lucky" number. I believe that the number 8 is lucky for me because I like the number 3 and 3+3+3=9. Things have power because we believe they have power.
