dabbe I want a golem as a protector! Mine would probably turn into a destructive one, though ... like Gollum in LOTR. 🩵💙🩵 6d

CatLass007 I just finished the first three books of the Black Hat Bureau series, in which one of the main characters is a golem. Fun books! 6d

lil1inblue @dabbe #ditto 🩵🤣 6d

JenniferEgnor There is a great movie about this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8329290/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk 6d

AlaMich This is a great novel with a golem as the MC.

The Golem and the Jinni

CBee @dabbe hahaha mine probably would too. I‘d rather some Heinzelmännchen: https://germangirlinamerica.com/heinzelmannchen-the-elves-of-cologne/ 6d

CBee @AlaMich I‘ve heard that‘s a good one! 6d

CBee @JenniferEgnor one that wreaks havoc, I see 🫣🫣 6d

CBee @CatLass007 cool! 6d

dabbe @CBee @CBee Oh, yes please! How adorable! 🩵💙🩵 6d

CatLass007 There was an episode of the X-Files that featured a golem. But when Dana Scully was narrating, she called it a gollum. 6d

AnnCrystal 🆒☺️👍🏼💝. 6d

StaceGhost I just saw a really cool seminar about golems in folklore! Love all the new books with golems coming out 6d

CBee @CatLass007 I think the pronunciation is similar? I can see how one would pronounce it gollum. I‘m too much of an LOTR fan to make that mistake 😂🤓 5d

CBee @StaceGhost that sounds awesome! 5d

I adore mythological stories.

CBee ME TOO!!! I never tire of mythology. Edith Hamilton‘s book turned me into such a nerd for it 🤓🤓 2w

dabbe @CBee #theclassicsofallclassics 🩵💙🩵 2w

lil1inblue I vividly remember my introduction to Greek mythology in the 4th grade. I was OBSESSED. I remember being so morose when the unit was over! Since then, I've been drawn to all sorts of mythological stories form all sorts of cultures! 😍 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue Me, too! I loved that the stories were short, too! 😂 I adored teaching THE ILIAD and THE ODYSSEY to my honors freshmen. They didn't love it as much as I did, though! 😍 2w

lil1inblue @dabbe I loved reading both in high school - my teacher adored them, as well, so it made it all the better! So many great discussions! 🤩 I should reread them one of these days.... 2w

dabbe @lil1inblue So many books ... 😍 2w

I read about the Basque arborglyphs in #atreeaday and then, about the Pando aspen in Maggie, etc… (finished last night). Simply put: trees are amazing. #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

SamAnne In the desert of SE Oregon, on Steens Mountain, one can find many carvings in the old aspen by Basque and other sheepherders from the early 1900s, maybe earlier. They are still there. Very cool, except for the disturbing carvings of female figures with antlers. Likely a little later by white dudes. 2w

BookmarkTavern Oh wow! That‘s so cool! 2w

lil1inblue @SamAnne How cool! That sounds absolutely breathtaking! 2w

lil1inblue I love this! 😍 2w

dabbe We just walked by some aspens on our walk with the pups. We're up north this week and are loving the weather and trees. L😍VE these new words. 🩵💙🩵 2w

CBee @Deblovestoread we don‘t have them here - wrong kind of climate 😅 2w

CBee @SamAnne hi!! So good to see you back on Litsy ♥️ Oof. So does it seem like someone came later and added the offensive carvings? That‘s awful. 2w

CBee @dabbe sounds lovely! 2w

dabbe @SamAnne 😱😳😤 2w

SamAnne @CBee aw thank you. I‘ve missed the friendly lovely crew here. 2w

CBee @SamAnne we‘ve missed you! Hope you‘ve been okay ♥️ 2w

CatLass007 Some of the words you share with us, although absolutely marvelous, I wonder if I‘ll ever have the opportunity to use. Nevertheless keep sharing, and I will keep remembering and looking for those opportunities. 2w

CBee @CatLass007 weird and not often used words is the goal ♥️ I‘ll keep sharing! 2w

Sace Fascinating! 2w

Daisey I‘ve come across some of these words in my reading, not only A Tree A Day, and always find the carvings a fascinating idea. Great words! 2w

CBee @Daisey 😊😊 2w
