“The most dangerous girl is one that knows her own mind well, she carries too much deadly in her bones to be a distressed damsel, this is a girl who distresses demons instead.”

fake myths meme // the dryad & the mermaid
she of the forest, she of the sea; made to serve different worlds and live vastly different lives. but the ocean calls to her and even more sweetly does her lover. just as the waves crash to the shore and pulls back, so she must return to her forest every dusk. and the mermaid weeps for her dryad, her song is one of longing and sailors often mistake it as a lure. “you are made of the earth and i, of salt, my darling but never have there been two souls more entwined.”
“Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.”

Werewolves were far more terrifying than vampires. It is probably the idea of seeing the human within the beast and knowing you can’t reach it.

STRIGOI
In Romanian mythology, strigoi are the troubled spirits of the dead rising from the grave. Some of the properties of the strigoi include: the ability to transform into an animal, invisibility, and the propensity to drain the vitality of victims via blood loss. Strigoi are the myth behind the modern Bram Stoker vampire. The name strigoi is related to the Romanian verb a striga, which in Romanian means “to scream”. The strigoi viu (living strigoi) steals the wealth of farmers, that is to say, wheat and milk. But it can also stop the rain, and give death. The strigoi mort (dead strigoi) is much more dangerous. Its nature is ambiguous, both human and demonic. He/she emerges from their grave, returns to their family and behaves as in their lifetime, while weakening their relatives until they die in their turn. The strigoi is orginally a living human, born under certain conditions: the seventh child of the same sex in a family, or led a life of sin, or die unmarried, or by execution for perjury or suicide, or born with a caul atop their head, or have been cursed by a witch.
