Skull of St. Valentine

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We were lucky enough to visit the (alleged!) skull of St. Valentine in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin while on our honeymoon in Rome a while ago. An eerie and unexpected visit! 😅

An illustration of the Yule Cat in the book. A giant monstrous cat who eats children owned by the ogress Gryla, looking ready to pounce on one.

An illustration of Gryla from the book.

An illustration of Mari Lwyd. A horse's skull draped in ribbons and a white sheet who passes between the underworld and ours.

Oh yeah! Happy Yule to anyone celebrating. Treated myself to a book of creepy Yuletide folklore and it's great 🥰
