Beneath mossy stones, inside hollow hills, or deep within the roots of ancient trees, the Vättar dwell, the unseen neighbours of humankind. In Scandinavian folklore they are one of the hidden folks, small but powerful, guardians of nature and keepers of secrets. To respect them was to live in harmony with the land; to anger them was to invite misfortune, illness, or worse.

Fairies have always dwelled at the edge of human imagination, shimmering between beauty and terror. Neither wholly benevolent nor entirely wicked, they belong to the twilight of belief,  that liminal realm where the natural world conceals the unseen. They are not the winged darlings of children’s tales but forces of nature, fickle, proud, sometimes generous, sometimes cruel.

In the dark hours of night, the draugr would rise from the mounds and graves. Neither ghost nor living being. With swollen, corpse-blue bodies, reeking of decay yet brimming with unnatural strength, the draugr comes to spread terror, and crushing the breath from the living. According to the old Sagas, death itself can't silence the greedy, the violent, or the unfulfilled humans who are laid to rest.

Deep in the forests, a gaunt, ash-grey figure with hollow eyes, is said to be wandering, looking for humans to corrupt and destroy. It moves quite silently, the first thing a human notice, is the strange and eerie odour of decay and decomposition. The smell of death.

Something ancient walks the forests of North America. Towering, covered in dark hair, and always just out of reach, the creature known as Bigfoot—or Sasquatch—has become one of the most iconic and controversial figures in modern folklore. Despite being dismissed by mainstream science, sightings persist across decades and geography, whispering that perhaps something truly wild still lurks in the shadows of our so-called tamed world...

Lammas is more than a quaint tradition, it’s a living, breathing moment in the Wheel of the Year that connects us with the pulse of the planet and the ancestral wisdom of those who came before. It reminds us that life is a series of sowings and reapings, and that even in abundance, we must prepare for change.

In the heart of one of America’s most bustling metropolises, a chilling mystery has taken flight. Since 2011, Chicago has been the epicenter of a strange and unsettling phenomenon: repeated sightings of a large, humanoid, bat- or bird-like creature with glowing red eyes. Dubbed the "Chicago Phantom," this entity has earned comparisons to Mothman and other winged cryptids, sparking fear, fascination, and fierce debate.

In the quiet, humid night of June 18, 1953, in Houston, Texas, a peculiar event occurred that has since taken a place among America’s most bizarre cryptid sightings. Known today as the "Houston Batman," this strange entity appeared in the darkness before three witnesses. What they saw that summer night has baffled skeptics, intrigued paranormal researchers, and sparked theories ranging from cryptozoology to extraterrestrial visitation.

In March 1974, the Betz family—Antoine, Jerri, and their son Terry—were battling a brush fire near their home on Fort George Island, Florida, USA. While they were checking the charred undergrowth on their lands, they stumbled upon an unexpected object: a smooth, metallic sphere about 20 cm in diameter (~8 inches) and weighing over 9.7 kg (about 20 pounds). What followed would become one of the most intriguing curiosities of UFO and metal-anomaly lore.

In the shadowy depths of Pennsylvania’s hemlock forests, where fog clings to the trees like ancient whispers, lives a creature so pitiful, so heartbreakingly sorrowful, that it is said to dissolve into a puddle of its own tears when confronted. Meet the Squonk, perhaps the only cryptid in North American folklore whose defining characteristic isn’t terror or mystery—but profound self-loathing.

Litha, also known as Midsummer or the Summer Solstice, is one of the eight key moments celebrated by indigenous people, pagans, Wiccans, and other earth-centered spiritual paths. Marking the longest day and shortest night of the year—typically around June 20–22 in the Northern Hemisphere—Litha is a celebration of light, life, and fertility.
