Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem 'Jabberwocky' may be based on the County Durham legend of the Sockburn Worm. This foul-smelling, poisonous dragon, who lived on an isolated peninsula in the River Tees, was beheaded by a local noble. Jabberwocky describes how "The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head, He went galumphing back." Carroll's father was the rector of the nearby village of Croft. In the village church is a carving said to have inspired the Cheshire Cat. #WyrdWednesday #folklore #literature #weird #mythology #gothic #history #poetry #poems #poets #churches

In Finnish folklore, the demigod magician Väinämöinen fell into the sea. There, a waterfowl lay three eggs on his knee. Väinämöinen moved his leg, causing the eggs to break. The yolks became the sun, the egg whites became the moon, and the shells' crumbs became the stars. #WyrdWednesday #Mythology #Folklore #Finland #Väinämöinen #Vainamoinen
