In Wales, if you want a bwca or bwbachod (a goblin who cleans your home), then leave out a cup of cream each night (or better yet, a cup of ale). However, bwcas hate teetotalers. If you refuse to drink alcohol, they may kick you or throw your plates at you.

⚕️ Woman healers
👭 Women helping women
👵 Badass grandmas

Trying to come up with a theme for this year's post. Any suggestions?

In #JapaneseFolklore there's a #yokai known as yama uba, which translates as mountain hag. These strange old witches live alone in remote areas. They can appear as kind old ladies offering travellers a place to stay, only to eat them alive during the night. Some believe that yama uba are the haunting spirits of old women who were abandoned in the woods or mountains by families during food shortages when there wasn't enough to feed everyone.
