Now there is no longer any magic or witchcraft in the world, for the Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses are kept under lock and key.

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore The PCs must work with the descendants of the Grimm Brothers to re-enchant the world: The Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses Heist. It writes itself!

"For Helios' (the Sun's) lot is toil every day and there is never any respite for him and his horses, from the moment rose-fingered (the Dawn) leaves Okeanos and goes up into the sky."

@AimeeMaroux @antiquidons @mythology So Helios was in cahoots with Selene to have lunar and solar eclipses so they could get some time off?

This detailed ivory relief is thought to depict the goddess Roma ~ C5th–C6th CE

Roma appeared with a helmet and staff, and holds the globe in her hand while being crowned by the goddess Victory.

This is part of a diptych showcasing a personification of Constantinople but I’m afraid I don’t have a picture of that side. But pairing these two together would make perfect sense in a world where Constantinople was increasingly the central city and Rome a historic symbol…

There is a Jewish tradition that the luz bone houses the soul, though scholars differ on exactly where in the spine the luz is located. It will not decay and will be the source of recreating the body at the time of resurrection.

Once, the Wild Huntsman had pursued a woman for seven years. But thanks to the assistance of a horse groom, he was able to catch and kill her in the very last night.

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore The Mirow story reminds me of one where a bystander jokingly asks for a share of the catch and is horrified when he receives it.
