SAMODIVA (s), SAMODIVI (pl):
Samodivi, the wild and beautiful nymphs of the waters and the woodlands, are perhaps the most captivating and magical of Bulgaria’s mythological beings. They dwell upon our earth from spring to autumn, when they sing and dance from dusk till dawn. They ride upon stags harnessed with serpents. They can fly up to the moon and they know the secrets of the healing herbs. But they are also dangerous and can never be tamed. They can steal a man’s eyes and take blood from his heart!
Samodivi are probably the mythological descendants of the ancient Thracian great goddess and mistress of wild nature, Bendis/Hekate.
In some parts of Bulgaria they are known as samovili, vili or yudi. Samovili or vili exist elsewhere in the Slavic world, though they usually differ from the Bulgarian samodiva in several respects.
RUSALII are essentially samodivi but they only appear in the week before or after Orthodox Whitsun. During this time they are very active and can be quite dangerous.

When a Man has proven himself WORTHY of wielding power he does not need to use Force to Lead. When a Man is a Worthy Man of HONOR & GOODNESS, he is then a Man who is TRULY LOVED. And where there is True Love, Honor & Respect there can never be force, whether between Husband & Wife or between a Warrior King & his People.
The ONLY time the Leadership of a Man is Valid is when his Leadership is freely chosen by those whose Love he has EARNED. Every other form of male “leadership” is a corrupt inversion based on the abuse of power & as a result automatically invalid. Without True Love, All becomes Darkness.
“German kings do not wield absolute or unlimited power; and their generals do not command their men by force, but by their good example. If they are courageous, brave, and brilliant in battle, they receive obedience from their men because their admirable deeds inspire a great love.”
- Roman historian Tacitus on the Virtues of the German Pagans in his work “Germania"

Werewolves of Ossory
The legendary werewolves of Ossory, a kingdom of early medieval Ireland, are the subject of a number of accounts in medieval Irish, English, and Norse works. The werewolves were said to have been the descendants of a legendary figure named Laignech Fáelad whose line gave rise to the kings of Ossory. The legends may have derived from the activities of warriors in ancient Ireland who were the subject of frequent literary comparisons to wolves, and who may have adopted lupine hairstyles or worn wolf-skins while they "went wolfing" and carried out raids.
Wolves, though now extinct in Ireland, were once numerous; the Irish were said to be plagued by the animals and bred a special type of dog, the Irish Wolfhound, to hunt them. As late as 1650, Coleraine was said to have been attacked by a pack of hungry wolves. The wolf had a long-standing place in Irish culture, and Irish literature throughout the medieval period associated warriors with wolves. They invoked a combination of ferocity, frenzied behaviour, unpredictable and savage animal behaviour, sexual potency, and martial prowess.
In the Irish literary mind, wolves were particularly intricately linked with the practices of the fianna, warrior bands of landless young men who lived for much of their time in the wilderness and were thought of as living in close proximity to supernatural forces. Warriors were often depicted with canine attributes and shared a common motif of a wild, disheveled, or naked appearance. They were frequently portrayed as wolves, hunting both animals and humans, and may have worn wolf-skins or a lupine hairstyle as part of a ritual transformation. The wolf-warriors or luchthonn (literally "wolf-skins") were said to "go wolfing" when they carried out raids. Such associations may have given rise to Irish legends of werewolves.
The medieval Irish work Cóir Anmann (Fitness of Names), which was probably based on earlier traditions, gives an account of a legendary warrior-werewolf named Laignech Fáelad. He was said to be the ancestor of a tribe of werewolves who were related to the kings of Ossory in eastern Ireland, which covered most of present-day County Kilkenny and County Laois prior to the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century.
According to Cóir Anmann:
“He was a man that used to go wolfing, i.e. into wolf-shapes, i.e. into shapes of wolves he used to go, and his offspring used to go after him and they used to kill the herds after the fashion of wolves, so that it is for that that he used to be called Laignech Fáelad, for he was the first of them who went into a wolf-shape.”
He was said in medieval genealogies to be the brother of Feradach mac Duach, the king of Ossory, and the ancestor of its subsequent kings who ruled until being deposed by the Normans. The late 14th century Book of Ballymote may refer to this tradition in a passage which speaks of "the descendants of the wolf" in Ossory having the power to change themselves and go forth to devour people.
Other accounts of Irish werewolves appear in the 11th century poem De Mirabilibus Hibernie (On the Marvels of Ireland) by Bishop Patrick of Dublin, the Middle Irish De Ingantaib Érenn (On the Wonders of Ireland) and the 13th century poem De hominibus qui se vertunt in lupos (Men Who Change Themselves into Wolves).
Nennius of Bangor's Historia Britonum (History of the Britons) presents an Irish version of the latter poem. The accounts describe men who are able to transform themselves into wolves, leaving their human bodies behind. Injuries sustained in lupine form are reflected on their human bodies, while meat from their prey will appear in their mouths. Their human bodies were vulnerable while they were in wolf form and their friends and family were warned not to move them. Such stories reflected folkloric beliefs that souls could leave the body and travel but could not return if the body was disturbed.

De Ingantaib Érenn speaks of the werewolves as living in Ossory, but this detail is omitted in the 13th century Norse work Konungs Skuggsjá (King's Mirror). It describes the werewolves as being humans who were cursed as a divine punishment for wickedness. According to the account, it is told that when the holy Patricius (St Patrick) preached Christianity in that country, there was one clan which opposed him more stubbornly than any other people in the land; and these people strove to do insult in many ways both to God and to the holy man. And when he was preaching the faith to them as to others and came to confer with them where they held their assemblies, they adopted the plan of howling at him like wolves.
St Patrick responded by praying for God to punish the clan, resulting in them suffering "a fitting and severe though very marvelous punishment, for it is told that all the members of that clan are changed into wolves for a period and roam through the woods feeding upon the same food as wolves; but they are worse than wolves, for in all their wiles they have the wit of men, though they are as eager to devour men as to destroy other creatures." The werewolves were not permanently transformed, as they either took the form of a wolf every seventh winter or were transformed into a wolf for a seven-year period, following which they never transformed again.

7 Herbs of Summer Solstice:
Malva, Hypericum, Elderberry, Rosehip, Thyme, Pennyroyal, Rue
Leonese and Galician tradition
Formerly every year, when the night of summer solstice approaches (now known as Night of San Xuan), it was customary to go out for the herbs at sunset and then leave them in water under the healing dew of the night.
Tradition advises using at least seven herbs with medicinal and aromatic properties, and water from seven different sources. The idea is to collect the plants at sunset on the summer solstice or on Midsummer's Eve. These herbs would also be dried on doorsteps and three days later they were kept in sealed jars to be used during the rest of the year in infusions and herbal teas.

Europeans love our animals. The countries with the best care and animal rights are European nations (of course). The beautiful Germans 🇩🇪 (aka Adolf Hitler and the NS party created these laws) were the first in the world to create laws of protection and protect and preserve their wild life. Countries such as the UK and Northern European countries followed Germany with these laws. #PreserveAndProtect #Beautiful #Kindness #EuropeanAnimals #Civilisation #Europe
