" Il giorno di San Giovanni, festa del solstizio d’estate, ha spento quasi ovunque i suoi fuochi di gioia, tranne forse che nei paesi scandinavi, ove si vedono riflesse sull’acqua dei laghi lunghe fiamme. Ma in Sicilia piú nessuno, all’alba del 24 giugno, scruta Salomè nuda che danza nel sol levante, recando sopra un piatto d’oro, che è a sua volta un’immagine solare, la testa mozzata del Precursore. Alcuni antichi riti, come, ad esempio, i cerchi di fuoco fatti rotolare dai ragazzi, sopravvivono ancor oggi in Grecia, in Austria e in Portogallo, senza dire di alcune cerimonie magiche, in Goa o nella Tracia, durante le quali la gente in preda a uno stato di allucinazione passa a piedi nudi su ceneri ardenti senza sapere poi perché osserva questo rito. Ma nondimeno il culto del Sol invictus si può dire definitivamente scomparso. "

Stunbat Lore!
@bluedaddysgirl and I have been designing these creatures that accompany their Txepìva na'vi. Here is our earlier thread on 'viperhounds', domesticated and extremely diverse 'dogs' of these volcanic plains dwelling clans!
The Txepiva clans, also known in some parts as the Ash People, have no ikran and no pa'li. They are long distance runners and hunters, often
...And here is @bluedaddysgirl's original thread on our second creature, the Stunbat!
Distant cousins of the jungle's stingbat, the aptly named stunbat (Tsealìm in Na'vi) is a native of the Txepìva volcanic plains that hunts b
I happened to make new edits and whole illustrations when I was re-formatting the contents of the original Stunbat posts for Twitter/X, so here's an updated version of the Stunbat thread!

SANTA LUCIA
SANTA LUCIA
🇮🇹
Una donna vissuta a cavallo tra il III e il IV secolo. Ciò che sappiamo di lei, in breve, è che ha rifiutato di sposare un pagano e quindi è stata da lui accusata di essere cristiana, quindi condannata. alcuni studiosi fanno risalire il culto ad un epoca precristiana. La sua storia è stata abbellita, arricchita e ampliata nei secoli dai cristiani. Santa lucia è celebrata soprattutto in Italia e in Svezia. Nei secoli sono state svariate le attività che si svolgevano durante la vigilia e il giorno stesso della festa: come bruciare l'incenso e farsi il bagno nel fumo per proteggersi dai malagna della stregoneria, accendere una candela, fare delle processioni, ecc.

SAINT LUCIA
🇬🇧
A woman who lived at the turn of the 3rd and 4th century.
What we know about her is not much: she was a girl that refused to marry a pagan and therefore was accused by him of being a Christian and condemned. Some scholars trace the cult back to a pre-Christian era. Her story has been embellished, enriched and expanded over the centuries by Christians. Santa Lucia is celebrated above all in Italy and in Sweden. Over the centuries there have been various activities that took place on the eve and the day of the festival itself: such as burning incense and bathing in smoke to protect yourself from diseases and witchcraft, lighting a candle, making processions, etc.

Best TV trivia I have ever heard: OJ watching American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson in jail and ranting to everyone: “Cuba Gooding Jr can’t play me, he’s too short! He does not look like me!”
Which, whatever you think about OJ, is actually a valid criticism.
OJ Simpson: TV Critic should be a thing.
