In Welsh mythology, the sea god Dylan kidnapped three women to live with him in his undersea palace. However, when he saw their misery, Dylan released them. The god lacked the power to send them completely back to land so they became beings of both land and sea - the first gulls.

In Finnish mythology, the world is created when the goddess Ilmatar descends to the primordial ocean, and a giant duck lays an egg on her knee. Pieces of the egg's shell become the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars, while Ilmatar gives birth to the first man: Väinämöinen.

Eerie birds dwell deep in the bowels of the Earth. And sometimes, people on the surface can hear their calling.

Though ravens are strongly linked to the Tower of London, the association may not go back further than Victorian times, when some beefeaters started keeping the birds as pets. Ravens became popular pets thanks to Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem. The idea some misfortune will occur if the ravens leave the Tower seems to have emerged about 1900 and the notion their departure will result in the kingdom falling doesn't seem to predate World War II. However, medieval Welsh legend says that the severed - though still talkative - head of the hero Bran the Blessed was buried on nearby Tower Hill, facing out towards Europe as a talisman against invasion. The name Bran translates as 'raven'. #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #gothic #mythology #poem #poems #poetry #poets #history #London #weird

In the Goetia, Malphas is a feared president of Hell who often appears as a raven. He constructs mighty buildings and recruits artificers, and destroys the buildings of enemies and all they've created. Malphas kindly accepts any sacrifices offered, but then deceives the sorcerer.
