#FairyTaleTuesday 🐦⬛ #Crows
In Appalachian folklore, low-flying crows signal coming illness.
A crow calling three times over a house foretells death.
Crows singing before other birds means rain.
Never kill a crow—bury it wearing black if you do. 🌧️🪶

🎨1820 satirical print "Very Unpleasant Weather, or the Old Saying Verified. Raining Cats, Dogs & Pitchforks!!!" by George Cruikshank
#FairyTaleTuesday 🌬️🐈🐩🌧️
Library of Congress (Everyday Mysteries):
“Odin, the Norse god of storms, was often pictured with dogs and wolves, symbols of wind. Witches rode brooms during storms with black cats as signs of heavy rain.
Thus, ‘raining cats and dogs’ for wind (dogs) + rain (cats).”
