It is said that a black cat wearing a “locket”, a small white patch on its chest, was lucky, having been “touched by God” or “kissed by an angel”. Yet in Scottish lore, the Cat Sìth, a black fairy cat with a white patch, was feared by some as a witch in disguise. #FolkloreSunday

“The chestnut trees turned yellow, The oak like sherry browned, The fir, the stubborn fellow, Stayed green the whole year round. But O the bonny maple How richly he does shine! He glows against the sunset Like ruddy old port wine.” – Christopher Morley (1890-1957) #poetry #nature

16 October is the feast day of St Hedwig (1174–1243), patron saint of orphans. Her name comes from Old High German words for battle and war, suggesting a female warrior. J. K. Rowling named Harry Potter’s owl after this medieval saint, fittingly, as Harry was himself an orphan.
