Let’s talk about how in love with this collection I am.

amphitrite

a ruining storm maddens along the wide gulfs of the deep; the sea-queen amphitrite moans, with her anguished waves which sweep from every hand towering like precipiced mountains, while the bitter squall, ceaselessly veering, shrieks across the sea.

The brother of Zeus and Poseidon, and the son of Kronos and Rhea, Hades was assigned to rule over the Underworld after the end of the Titanomachia. Although he was a god of the dead, and the ruler of the Underworld, Hades was also the god of the hidden wealth of the earth, such as precious gems and metals, but also fertile soil from which plants could grow. His second name was Pluton, which means ‘the giver of wealth’.

HELLA RAD, LESSER KNOWN BEINGS OF FOLKLORE AND MYTHOLOGY 

Upir/Upyr/Upior, russian/ukrainian/slovakian — flesh eating, blood drinking beings with the ability to mesmerize people. Full upyr also have super strength and a healing factor which are abilities that half upyr do not obtain. Full upyr are ½ witch and ½ demon, while half upyr are ¼ human, ¼ witch, and ¼ demon. To become a full upyr, one must die at their own hand. 

In other legends, Upyr are incredibly bloodthirsty vampires. They prefer to feed on children first, and then on parents. Their teeth are described to be like iron and they can gnaw on anything that’s in their way. Sunlight does not hinder these vampires and they can easily wander throughout the day. In some religions, upyr were known for devouring their victim’s hearts. 

Upiors were known to rest during the night and feed on it’s victims during noon and midnight. And not only do Upiors drink blood, but they would also sleep in it. To protect yourself from an Upior, one must mix vampire blood with flour, bake it into some kind of bread and eat it. 

If wishing to destroy an Upyr, one should hook thread to one of the upyr’s buttons so that it can be tracked back to it’s lair. The creature should then be drenched in holy water and staked in the heart — only once, though. If staked twice, the upyr will come back to life more stronger and faster than before. In other religions, you would have to cut off it’s head or burn it to ash.
