I am searching for folktales for a summer camp where kids can learn about various professions. Including movie stunts.

Does Siegfried count as a stunt man when he takes his friend's place in the duel with Brünhilde? 😆

If you’d like to include firefighters, look into the Feuerreiter tales, here’s a version by Eduard Mörike.

And if you understand enough German, I suggest to read Jürgen Lodemann’s great take on the Nibelungen saga, “Siegfried und Kriemhild” (Klett-Cotta).

Disney had a lot to answer for. Apart from Ursula. Mermaids are horrible in folklore and mythology. Beautiful woman with the lower half of the body the tail of a fish. They enchant people with their song and lead them to their death by drowning them for shits and giggles. If they do fall in love with a human they drag them underwater as they think they can breath. #folklore #mythology #mythologymonday

For tonight’s Full Moon:

In the late 1800s, Jamaican children would play Moonshine Baby on the night of a full moon. Claude McKay recalled his father telling them that “the making of these moonshine babies was an old African custom and that different villages used to compete in the making of them.” (“Boyhood in Jamaica”, Phylon (1940-1956), Vol. 14, No. 2 (2nd Qtr., 1953), pp. 134-145)

Olive Senior wrote about this game in her poem “Moonshine Dolly”.

Colonel Karl Nell - The Real Black Swan Event: The Controlled Disclosure of UAP & Non-Human Intelligence (www.youtube.com)

I updated the video’s link to SALT’s official video. I wasn’t expecting them to get the video up so fast, since their other videos seemed to take a while to be uploaded after events. Out of all of the NYC event’s discussions, this has been the first and only interview to get uploaded.
