@willowwinsham.bsky.socialTsukimi, the Autumn moon viewing party, is an old tradition in Japan, held on the night of the full moon of the eighth month of the solar calendar. Seasonal produce and round rice dumplings that represent the moon are served. #FolkloreThursday
Show PostMigrating geese have long been seasonal timekeepers. Their great autumn formations told people something calendars now do more precisely...that the year was turning. Folklore and weather lore paid attention because sometimes the sky itself announced the season. #FolkloreThursday Art: Robert Bateman

Show PostIn Western culture, the Grim Reaper is the personification of death. Wielding a scythe, he or she has been associated with Autumn as a harvester of souls since the Black Death of the 14th Century. The Grim Reaper's name emerged in the 1800s. #FolkloreThursday 1911 Petit Journal, 1915 M. Fingesten
