Day 10- Nuckelavee The Nuckelavee is a horse-like demon from Orcadian mythology that combines equine and human elements. It has been described to have a man’s torso with no legs attached to a horse’s back as if a rider. It has its origins in Norse mythology and is believed by some to be the nastiest of all the demons of Scotland’s Northern Isles. The Nuckelavee’s breath was thought to wilt crops and sicken livestock. The creature was also held responsible for droughts and epidemics on land despite being predominantly a sea-dweller. I have skipped a day here because I’ve been really struggling with the Baba Yaga. I’m going to try and work on it when I can #nuckelavee #nuckelaveedrawing #custombysophy #folkloreandfairytales #mythology #norsemythology #orcadianmythology https://www.instagram.com/p/B7M6yhwgzJW/?igshid=1emk49wktoe3d
