A May wedding as bad luck has two origins: one, that May was the month of Lemuria, the Feast of the Dead, meaning a marriage would end with a widow; the other is Gaelic, with women leaving home to watch the livestock after Beltane while the men farmed. #FolkloreSunday

Some feel the Isle of Man is named after Manannan, a sea god who protected the island by cloaking it in mist. The name may, however, come from a Celtic word meaning 'mountain island' and the god may have been named after the island rather than the other way around. From Man's highest point, it's said that on a clear day you can see 7 kingdoms - England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland & Man, plus the Kingdom of the Sea & Kingdom of Heaven. #FolkloreSunday #folklore #mythology #history #weird
