Siobhan Ball introduces TWH’s readers to the folklore of the blackberry – including why you need to eat them before the Faerie Folk claim them for their own – and also offers a delicious recipe for a blackberry and apple crumble.

The Celtic Púca, a shape-shifting faerie creature, is known for its mischievous nature and folkloric significance. #Puca #celticfolklore https://connectparanormal.net/2024/08/29/puca-captivating-faerie-creature-in-celtic-culture-and-mythology/
Happy #StPatricksDay! An Irish folktale about the púca tells of how it, in the form of a horse, once abducted a young and inexperienced piper and took him to a great feast in the house of the Banshee, where the lad and his pipes became the party's entertainment. #FolkloreSunday

To help with the #SundayScaries: Here is #Púca {looking} drunk on #Chewdog (by #BrewDog).
Today, on our evening walk, #Púca was scared to pass an #Aontú poster on a lamppost.
He must have sensed the danger that derives from #antichoice politicians. - Smart Dog!

James Stewart is Elwood P. Dowd. An ordinary man with an extraordinary claim: his best friend is an invisible, six feet three and a half inches-tall #pooka – a mythological Celtic, shapeshifting creature – who in Mr Dowd's case resembles a rabbit called #Harvey. Elwood's sister and niece, who also occasionally see the furry goblin, have their relative send to a sanatorium where the doctors and us viewers learn more about this curious case.
Harvey (1950), based on Mary Chase's #PulitzerPrize Play with the same name, is guaranteed to bring a smile on your face, this humbug's scout's honour! Have a nice #Easter, CineMastodons!

I'm 15 mins from leaving my apartment to travel internationally but remembered that I hadn't gotten the PÚCA DSP board I recently got to work. Used some of the example sketches provided by the creator but couldn't get them to work. I bought another board with the same chip, wrote a program, tried it, and then tried it on the puca. Worked. This was obviously the best moment to do this but in all seriousness, I'd be worried all break if I didn't verify this.
I have found the source of the hooves. Theres 2 horses in the garden. My husband is well known for buying random things .... I hope he hasn't bought horses Not #púca
