#WyrdWednesday: The Fomorian Octriallach was a spy who learned the secrets of the Fomorians’ opponents, the #TuathaDéDanann. „Diancécht, the Tuatha Dé physician, bathed their wounded in the magical well of Slaine, which healed all their wounds (it could not, however, reconnect amputated limbs or heads). When he discovered this, Octriallach decommissioned the well by filling it with stones (thus creating the #HeapstownCairn), whereupon he was killed by Ogma, the god of eloquence.

Ukko is the god of the sky, weather (especially thunder), and the harvest in Finnish paganism. Though often invoked in myths, he rarely appears. Modern sources often call Ukko the king of the gods, though that may be a mistake caused by comparing him to the Greek god Zeus.

In the Goetia, Amdusias is a mighty duke of Hell who commands 29 demonic legions. He is in charge of Hell's cacophonous music, and his presence is announced by invisible trumpets. Amdusias can produce any music he desires, cause trees to bend, and create thunder. His voice is heard during storms. Louis Le Breton

As German exorcists were usually unable to banish ghosts to the afterlife directly, they always sought new places to imprison them in this world - and trees were a popular choice.

Everyday #Folklore, Marketing Edition: I recently bought this bag on Amazon because (1) it's canvas and all the compartments zip or clip, (2) it will hold my iPad, and (3) I'm leaving for Reykjavik soon to attend a conference and wanted a bag that would travel well with me. But the video ad for this bag was interesting.
