Back after 5 and half years, and this is what I'm thinking?

Palm itching means money coming... Arm itching? Bug bites.

2013 is Two Weeks Old

And I'm already a year behind in blogging. New plan, new journey. Let's see what happens.

Alphabeast #19 Soucouyant

A kind of witch-vampire in Dominica, Trinidadian and Guadeloupean folklore, the soucouyant that lives by day as an old woman at the end of the village. By night, however, she strips off her wrinkled skin, puts it in a mortar, and flies in the shape of a fireball through the darkness, looking for a victim. Still in the shape of a fireball, the soucouyant enters the home of her victim through the keyhole or any crack or crevice.

Soucouyants suck the blood of people from their arms, legs and other soft parts while they sleep. If the soucouyant draws out too much blood from her victim, it is believed that the victim will die and become a soucouyant herself, or else perish entirely, leaving her killer to assume her skin.

Alphabeast #18 - Rusalka

In Slavic mythology, a rusalka was a female ghost, water nymph, succubus, or mermaid-like demon that dwelled in a waterway.

According to most traditions, they were fish-women, who lived at the bottom of rivers. In the middle of the night, they would walk out to the bank and dance in meadows. If they saw handsome men, they would fascinate them with songs and dancing, mesmerize them, then lead them away to the river floor to their death.

Alphabeast #17 Queen of Hearts

My take on Lewis Caroll's classic character.

Alphabeast #16 Psychai

Psychai are the butterfly-winged goddesses/nymphs that are the progeny of Psyche. They are kin to the god Eros and his fellow Erotes.

Alphabeast #14 Nekomusume

The literal translation is "Cat daughter". It can be a cat with supernatural powers, or the ability to change itself into a human.
