Silver Cat

Good Afternoon my dear friends & followers, for today's post I found an interesting story about the Silver Cat. This Magick Critter is from the folklore of Lumberjacks of the forest workers in Wisconsin & Minnesota of the US forests during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These Silver Cats 
are described as having large bodies, their head had red eyes that were just vertical slits. Its tail however, is a deadly weapon of considerable repute.

Silver Cat

It's very long and has sharp spikes on it everywhere on it. At the end of its, tail it has a hard knob. This magick critter is a predator who lurks in the pine trees of the forest, waiting for an unsuspecting lumberjack to pass beneath the trees. When a lumberjack does, approaches the Silver Cat without knowing it, the Magick critter will drop its hard knob at the end of its tail on the man's head. This will knock the lumberjack out, then the Cat will scoop down on his victim with its spiky tail and bring the human up in the tree to be devoured. The Silver Cat belongs to a large group of beings affectionately known as the fearsome critters, whose who exaggerated proportions and activities in devouring their prey. They also have known to make unexplained noises too. I did find that there are many different versions of the Silver Cat in different countries that are very interesting that I will explore later. I hope that 

You all enjoyed the legend of the 

Silver Cat and I will try to remember to 

look up those other legends to 

I love you all very much my dear

The Vampire Cat of Nabeshima

The Vampire Cat of Nabeshima-

The Vampire Cat of Nabeshima

Good Afternoon my Dear Friends & Followers I have another Tale from Japan that you all might find interesting - Just when you thought it was safe to be with your pet kitty, well there is a classic Japanese tale dating back to the Hizen daimyo of the Sengoku Era in 1568-1615. It seems that this creature will actually perspective itself into the form of a very large cat who will not only consumes humans, but afterwards it will supernaturally change its form to become the human in which he just eaten, after which it can interact and easily deceives everyone it encounters for its next victim when it become hungry again. I have found that there are quite a few legends and folklore in the Japanese culture and it is fascinating to me. I hope that you Enjoy the stories that I find. WENDY...
The following tale that I found is dated back to 1910 from Tales of Old Japan.

Beloved O Toyo
Being eaten and kill
by the Monster Cat

The Tale of the Vampire Cat of Nabeshima~
There was a tradition in the Nabeshima family in ancient Japan that was many years ago, that the Prince of Hizen was said to be bewitched and cursed by a cat. This cat had been kept by one of his retainers back in the year 1568. The prince had a rare beauty, called O Toyo who lived in his palace and amongst all his ladies of the palace she was his most favourite. Of all the other ladies of his court, none could rival her charms, beauty and accomplishments. Of course when one is so special something is always going to happen in these tales. One day the Prince went into the Royal garden with his beloved O Toyo, and remained enjoying the fragrance of the beautiful flowers until sunset, then they returned to the palace, never noticing that they were being followed by a very large cat. Having parted with her Lord the Prince, O Toyo retired to her own room and went to bed. At midnight she awoke with a start, and became aware of a very huge cat that had crouched in her room and was watching her. So when she cried out, the huge beast sprang upon her and fixed its cruel teeth into her delicate throat, riping it and throttling her to death.
It was a savage way for the fair maiden to go, in such a brutal way and for the prince to find her only her parts of her dress and body parts. As you know how the legend goes the Cat eats the entire human. It was very hard for the prince to see his darling bitten to death and almost eaten halfway by a monster Cat. She was buried probably as an lady of the palace should, however that wasn't the end of this beast. 
The Vampire Cat had scratched through the Maiden O Toyo grave that was under the verandah, once the Monster Cat got to the corpse of O Toyo [or what was left of her], he assumed her form and began to bewitching the Prince. 

The Vampire Cat of Nabeshima

The Prince of course knew nothing of what the monster Cat had done, he was still in mourning over his beloved O Toyo and had little thought that the beautiful creature that was now with him, caressing and fondling him was truly an impish of the foul beast that had slain his mistress and partly eaten her. Had assumed her shape in order to drain out his life blood very soon. Day by day, It seemed the Prince's strength was fading and dwindling away for reasons the court couldn't figure out. As time went on, the colour in his face was changing , he became very pale and livid which wasn't like the true prince. He was a man suffering from a deadly sickness some thought in his court at his palace.  

Seeing all this happen in such a short amount of time his councillors and his queen/wife became greatly alarmed; so they summoned the physicians, who prescribed various remedies for the Prince, however the more medicine he would take the more serious this illness would get. At the times there was no other kinda treatment they could use. The time that he would suffer the most was at night, when his sleep would be troubled and disturbed by hideous and frightening dreams. So the next step that they took to help their Prince was, his councillors appointed one hundred of his men to sit up and watch over him all night. However when it got closer to ten p.m. on the very first night they started watching their prince, all the guards were  suddenly seized with an uncontrollable drowsiness, for which they all! couldn't resist and they all fell asleep by 12-midnight. After that the Monster Cat in false of O Toyo was able to 
harassed and get into the princes dreams until morning like always. The next couple of nights as the councillors and his guards tried helplessly to help the prince, while the Imp Tyranny continued to torment the prince every night. This was night after night as his health continued to get worst and worst. Then finally three of the Prince trusted councillors were determined themselves to sit up on guard and see whether they could overcome this mysterious drowsiness; but they too didn' fare any better than all the guards as they fell asleep at 10 P.M too. Then three of his councillors held a solemn conclave and their chief , one Isahaya Buzen had said, 'This is a marvellous thing, that a guard of a hundred men should thus be overcome
by sleep. Of a surety, the spell that is upon my lord and upon his guard must be the work of witchcraft. Now, as all our efforts are of no avail, let us seek out Ruiten, the chief priest of the temple called Miyo In and beseech him to put up prayers for the recovery of my lord.'

Vampire Cat of Nabeshima

 So the Councillors approved and went to the priest Ruiten and engaged him to recite the litanies that the prince might be restored to health. So it seem that the chief priest of Miyo would read the prince nightly prayers in hopes to restore his health.
One night at the ninth hour midnight when the priest Ruiten had finished his religious exercises heard something outside in the garden. So he had a look down from the window and there in the moonlight was a handsome young soldier, washing himself, when he finished he stood before the figure of Buddha and prayed fervently of the recovery of our lord the Prince. New hope has come to the Palace the priest thought!
So the priest look down in admiration and called out to him....
"Sir I can't conceal my admiration for you, I am Ruiten, the chief priest of this temple and palace. I am engaging in pray for the recovery of my Lord. I pray what is your Name?
'My name, sir, is Itô Sôda, and I am serving in the infantry of Nabéshima. Since my lord has
 been sick, my one desire has been to assist in nursing him; but, being only a simple soldier, I am not of sufficient rank to come into his presence, so I have no resource but to pray to the gods of the country and to Buddha that my lord may regain his health."
When Ruiten heard this, he shed tears in admiration of the fidelity of Itô Sôda, and said—
"Your purpose is, indeed, a good one; but what a strange sickness this is that my lord is afflicted with! Every night he suffers from horrible dreams; and the retainers who sit up with him are all seized with a mysterious sleep, so that not one can keep awake.

Vampire Cat Of Nabeshima

 So Soda replied, saying there must be witchcraft and said if he could sit up with the prince one night, he would see whether he could be able to resist this drowsiness and detect the monster too. So they set it for to-morrow night.  They said their farewell's and departed.
So the following evening the young man Soda returned to the temple where he meet Ruiten 
and followed him to the palace where the prince laid ill. After a bit of converse with the councillors about he Prince's health he said that he would pray for his Lord into the night.
Since indeed his Lord the Prince illness is very severe and they were certain that he was the victim of some foul sorcery. He was also told about the problem of the sleepiness that comes at 10 p.m. evening and all guards can't seem to stop it or even catch a glimpse of the monster, they were all very thankful for Soda help and grace.  Soda the Faithful soldier was permitted to sit with their lord and watch over him at night. After warming thanking the court, the next day the councillors held a meeting and set for Ito Soda and told him that he might keep watch with the other guards that very night too. So the whole group plus Soda in very high spirits went to prepare for nightfall, having made all his preparations , took his place among the hundred gentle men who were on duty in the prince's bed-room. 

Huge Monster Cats dancing 

Now how they set the room up was like this! the Prince slept in the centre of the room, so that the guards all one hundred of them could set themselves all around him to keep him safe. Also to keep themselves awake with entertaining conversation. However, right at 10 p.m. one by one they all began to doze off as they sat and in spite of all their endeavours to stay awake
they were all asleep with in a hour. Ito Soda all this while felt an irresistible desire to sleep creeping over him too, Ito Soda did tried all sorts of ways to rouse himself, awake but what every bewitching sleep was in the room was very strong and nothing was working. So he had to resort to extreme measure for his Lord, for which he had already made his preparations. So how he prepared the room was this; Ito Soda put drawing paper of oil paper which he had brought with him and then spread them all over the mats, after that he sat down upon them. He then pulled out a small knife which he had carried in the sheath of his dirk and stuck it into his own thigh. For awhile the pain of the wound kept him awake. however as the slumber bewitching became heavy in the room, he was assailed by this and became drowsy again. So he twisted the knife round and round in his thigh so that the pain became very violent and the drowsy flew out of his mind, and kept a faithful watch. The oil paper that he and spread under his legs was now covered in blood.

Evil Vampire Cat

 So it was Ito Soda that was the only one that remained awake, all the guards were asleep, all one hundred of them. Suddenly the sliding glass doors of the Prince's room were drawn open, and he saw a figure coming in stealthily and as it drew nearer, the form was that of a lovely and beautiful woman. She cautiously had a look around, to see if everyone was asleep, that is when she saw that all the guards were asleep, she then smiled an ominous and very creepy smile. At that she headed toward the Princes bedside, when she perceived that in one corner of the room there was a man yet still awake. This seemed to startle her, but she went up to Soda and said...""I am not used to seeing you here. Who are you?"

"My name is Itô Sôda, and this is the first night that I have been on guard."

"A troublesome office, truly! Why, here are all the rest of the guard asleep. How is it that you alone are awake? You are a trusty watchman.""There is nothing to boast about. I'm asleep myself, fast and sound."

"What is that wound on your knee? It is all red with blood."

"Oh! I felt very sleepy; so I stuck my knife into my thigh, and the pain of it has kept me awake."

"What wondrous loyalty!" said the lady.

"Is it not the duty of a retainer to lay down his life for his master? Is such a scratch as this worth thinking about?"

Then the lady went up to the sleeping prince and said, "How fares it with my lord to-night?" But the Prince, worn out with sickness, made no reply. But Sôda was watching her eagerly, and guessed that it was O Toyo, and made up his mind that if she attempted to harass the Prince he would kill her on the spot. However, the monster cat, which was in the form of O Toyo who had been tormenting the Prince every night, was for the first time defeated by the watchfulness of Ito Soda; for whenever she drew near to the sick Prince thinking to put her spells upon him, she would turn and look behind her and there she saw Ito Soda glaring at her; so she had therefore no way to do her evil spells tonight so she left the Prince undisturbed. The next morning when the officers awoke and saw that Ito Soda had kept awake my stabbing himself in the thigh they were all greatly ashamed. Ito Soda went to the house of Isahaya Buzen and told him all that had occurred that night. The head priest of the councillors were so happy and ordered Ito Soda to keep watch every night in their Lord bedroom to see if they could catch the demon. So the next night at the same hour, the false O

Toyo came into the Prince bed-room once again, had a look around the whole room smiled sinisterly when she saw all the guards asleep, but when she saw Ito Soda still wide awake, you could tell she was beginning to get frustrated and irritated too. Then she returned to her own apartment.  Since the Prince has been guarded by Ito Soda for the last 2-days his sickness began to get much better, and there was great joy in the palace. Soon after that Soda was promoted and rewarded with an estate. However, the Vampire Cat O Toyo, saw that her nightly visits bore no fruits and they were keeping her away. Also since Ito Soda the young soldier came to the palace to guard the Prince every night since, the night guards weren't subject to her spell of drowsiness. So after the 3 to 4 day of watching the prince it struck Ito Soda to be very odd, so he went to Isahaya Buzen and told him that in his opinion for certain that the girl O Toyo was no other than a demon.

Isahaya Buzen reflected for a while, and said— 

'So, How do we kill the foul thing?' 

So Isahaya Buzen and Ito Soda had a plan, to kill the creature, the first was to try to kill her in her own lair you could say. But with backup on the outside with guards outside so should she try to escape she couldn't. Ito Soda knew where the demon/O Toyo' s apartment was so they waited till nightfall. He would pretend to have a message from the Prince,when she saw him arrive at her place. So when he handed her the letter, Soda drew near to her and pulled out his knife and cut at her; however the demon, spring back seized a halberd and glaring fiercely at Soda. The Demon yelled at Soda '' How dare you behave like this to one of your lord's 

ladies! I will have you dismissed and she tried to strike Ito Soda with the halberd, however  Ito Soda fought desperately with his knife against the demon. Well the Demon Cat realized that she was no match for him and threw away the halberd and form a beautiful young woman, suddenly transformed into a horrible demon cat, which springing up the sides of the room, jumped onto the roof. Outside Isahaya Buzen and his men who were watching all, got a look finally of the true beast demon cat, but missed it as it made its escape into the mountains.

When the cat fled into the mountain he did even more mischief among the 

surrounding folks that lived near the palace. That was until at last the Prince of Hizen 

ordered a great hunt and the beast was finally killed. In the end of this tale the 

Prince finally recovered from his sickness and Ito Soda was richly rewarded. 

I hope You all Enjoy the Tale of the 

Vampire Cat

The following tale is taken from Algernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford's Tales of Old Japan, dated 1910.

Spiders in Hairdo- UrbanLegends

Spiders in Hairdo-
UrbanLegends-

BEEHIVE STYLE
EVEN TOO DAY
2012-2015

                                     

For our Next Creepy Urban Legend, I found a nightmarist kinda one 

for you ALL!  This one is called,

'SPIDERS IN THE HAIDO'.

This folktale was told originally in 1969 by a young woman in 

Princeton, Indiana. The Urban Legend of the

'Spiders in the Hairdo'.

Since it was told originally in 1969, some say in the story started

in high school, since at the time the hair in the sixty for 

teenage girls was to tease their hair. At the time, this style

looked nice on a lot of the girls, However, there were some girls

that carried the style to the extremes. 

[note. I do remember watching my aunt teasing her hair when

in the late sixty when I was 9 and 10 years old and it look so cool!]

But These other gals that took it to the extremes had huge!

bouffant hairdos on top of their heads, plus they would use

hair -spray to the point that their hair wouldn't even move. Not even to 

the smallest amount of breeze! 

Some say at the time or the style, these girls that went to

the extreme of the hair-spray would put as much of 

the hair-spray on their hair as they could.

This is where they got into trouble!

So it was said that one day they heard about an 

teen girl who went to high school in Evansville who had just

died because of her teased hair. 

After the girl had died the teachers tried to scared all the 

girls to not tease their hair anymore or use hair-spay, However it didn't 

work even with the death on the one girl, since style is style.

Well, more the the girls at Evansville high still teased their hair

however, the problem with the girl that had died was, she had one 

of the most bushy teased hairstyles and from what what they all heard

she also kept lotsssss of Hair-spray in her hair. Also it was said she hadn't 

washed her hair for over three months.

When she died she was just sitting in class and just keeled over. When

the teacher came over to check on her, she saw blood trickling down her face.

After she was taken to the hospital, they had found a nest

of black widow spiders had made a home in her hair and had started to

eat into her scalp and brain.

There are other legends from the same period from 1968-1969 that talk 

about hairdos infested with 

Cockroaches, Ants and even Maggots too. 

It all comes form the legend/folklore of the 1950's beehive hairdos

Then later the drealocks that if not well care for will bring the 

insects and maggots in some cases. 

As i looked for images It was creepy me out! 

and it seems that it is still a problem even today

 I hope I have creep to many of you out 

love you

'THE POISON DRESS'

GOOD AFTERNOON MY DEAR FRIENDS & FOLLOWERS. FOR ANOTHER POST TODAY SINCE I AM ON A ROLL TODAY! I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING YOU ALL THROUGH 

A COUPLE OF URBAN LEGENDS!

THIS CREEP URBAN LEGEND IS ABOUT

'THE POISON DRESS'

THIS IS HOW THE TALE OF THE URBAN LEGEND GOES!

IT SEEMS THAT THE STORY WAS TOLD LAST THANKSGIVING BY

AN COUSIN WHO WORKED IN THE FINE WOMAN'S WEAR AT 

NEIMAN MARCUS IN BEVERLY HILLS. THE COUSIN SAID THAT SINCE 

NEIMAN MARCUS HAS A VERY LENIENT RETURN POLICY, MANY WEALTHY

WOMEN PUT $10,000 DRESSES ON THEIR CHARGE ACCOUNTS, WEAR 

THE EXPENSIVE DRESSES ONLY ONCE, HAVE THEM DRY CLEANED 

AND THEN RETURN THEM TO THE STORE FOR A FULL REFUND.

THIS IS WHEN THE TALE GETS INTERESTING! SOMEONE AT THE

STORE HAD TOLD THE COUSIN WHAT HAD HAPPENED ONE TIME BECAUSE

OF THIS PRACTICE IN THE FINE WOMEN'S WEAR AT NEIMAN MARCUS, 

BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED WORKING THERE! 

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED! ITS SEEMS THAT AFTER A WOMAN RETURNED

A VERY EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS, ANOTHER WOMAN WOULD BUY 

THAT SAME DRESS. HOWEVER, LATER AFTER THE SECOND LADY HAD

BOUGHT THE EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS, SHE HAD BREAK OUT IN A 

HORRIBLE RASH WHILE WEARING THE DRESS.

SO THE NEXT DAY, THE WOMAN WENT TO HER DERMATOLOGIST, TO SEE

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER SKIN?

TO HER SURPRISE THE DOCTOR TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS

EXPOSED TO FORMALDEHYDE. SO AT THIS POINT SHE SUED

NEIMAN MARCUS FOR THE DOCTOR BILLS AND THE DRESS. PROBABLY BECAUSE

SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS EXPOSED TO 

FORMALDEHYDE BY JUST WEARING A DESIGNER DRESS. 

IN THIS CASE OF THE POISON DRESS THE LADY DID LIVE! 

HOWEVER, THE STORE DID TRACED THE DRESS BACK TO THE VERY FIRST

WOMAN WHO FINALLY ADMITTED WHAT HAPPENED.

THIS IS WHEN IT GETS CREEPY!

THE FIRST WOMAN WHO HAD THE DRESS SAID THAT, HER MOTHER

WANTED TO BE BURIED IN THAT SAME VERY EXPENSIVE DESIGNER DRESS 

FROM NEIMAN MARCUS IN HOLLYWOOD LA. 

HOWEVER, THE DAUGHTER DIDN'T WANT TO BURY SUCH AN 

EXPENSIVE DRESS, SO SHE GOT IT BACK FORM THE MORTICIAN AFTER 

THE FUNERAL SERVICE AND RETURNED IT TO THE STORE.

THEN THE SECOND LADY WHO HAD BOUGHT THAT SAME DRESS

THAT HER MOTHER WAS DRESSED IN AT THE FUNERAL HOME,

WAS THEN EXPOSED TO THE FORMALDEHYDE THAT SOAKED INTO THE 

FABRIC FROM THE CORPSE OF THE DEAD MOTHER.

~WELL THERE IS A TWIST TO THE TALE~ 

THIS IS AN TRUE STORY BUT NOT AS DRAMATIC AS YOU MIGHT THINK!

IT ENDS UP NOT BEING FROM THE DESIGNER NEIMAN MARCUS 

HOLLYWOOD EXPENSIVE DRESSES BUT, FROM WHAT THE COUSINS 

GIRLFRIENDS SAID WAS THAT HER GRANDMOTHER WOULDN'T LET

HER EVER! BUY DRESSES FROM THE THRIFT SHOPS BECAUSE OF A

WOMAN WHO ACTUALLY DID DIED! FROM FORMALDEHYDE POISON IN

THE FROM OF A SECOND-DRESS. 

THIS STORY HAPPENS TO BE 60 YEARS OLD.

I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS TO BE INTERESTING AND

Japanese Dragon Ryu

Japanese Dragon Ryu-
In this post I will be covering the Japaneses Dragons and how they are similar in ways to that 

Japanese Dragon Ryu 

of the Chinese Dragons, but are more serpentine in shape plus they have only the three 
claws on each foot rather that the 4 to 5 claw foot. These Dragons are said to fly less frequently but I will 
read-up on that to see if that is true for all the Japanese dragons. I did discover that the reason the Japanese
Dragons only have the three toes/claws is because of the Japanese believe Eastern dragon originated in their  
native homeland. The people of Japan believed that, when the dragons began to leave the homeland,
they gained toes. The further the dragons went from their home Japan, the more toes they gained. Which 
would explained why the Chinese and Korean Dragons have more toes. And that is another tale to be told another day. The Mythological history of the Asian dragon traces back its roots back to India before the 
birth of historical Buddhism in the year 500BC, and has its foundation in a belief in Naga, meaning human- like creatures who wore crowns or serpents on their heads. How the Ryu Dragon however, was said to be 
imported into japan from china together with Buddha around the mid-6 century AD. Most Japanese Zen 
temples have the Ryu Dragon painted on their ceilings or their assembly halls since it the Ryu Dragon is a 
protector of the Buddhist law. The Japanese Ryu Dragon is a creature of harboring - many different aspects 
coming together as one within the imagery of the Irezumi. The Ryu dragons are associated with the Japanese Buddhism, but the dragon is also able to control storms and rains, and this ability makes the Ryu dragon a symbol of fertility as well, since there can be no good rice harvest without the proper amount of rain. 
The Ryu Dragon also has the ability to shape-shift as well and is well known when one delves deeper into the 

Japanese Dragon Ryu

mythology surrounding. The Ryu is quite handy with his magical proprieties too. It is also said that the Ryu Dragon had associated with many of Buddhas thru the ancient times and with well known historical figures in
the Japanese Culture... One of these famous Cultures is called ' Dragon rising to the heavens'. Basically the story or tale goes Ryu sho ten ' A dragon rises out of smoke near Mt. Fuji, ascending toward the sky.'
  I have also found that the Japanese dragons are diverse legendary creatures in the Japanese mythology and folklore. Some of these myths were that of the amalgamate native legends with imported stories about dragons from china, korea and india. Like these other Asian dragons , most Japanese dragons are water deities  that are associated with rainfall and large bodies of water and are typically depicted as large, wingless, serpentine creatures with clawed feet. 
 It is said the most famous of all the Japanese dragons is the Tatsu or Ryu which is a descendant of a primitive three -toed variety of Chinese dragon. This Japanese dragons are traditionally associated more with the sea than the rain. This is because Japan is less vulnerable to drought-related disasters as compared to China. Therefore they didn't feel the same need to pray to rain - releasing dragons.

Japanese Dragon Ryu 

I also found out that the Ryu Dragon was originated from Buddhist religion and is one of the four divine beasts from Japanese mythology. The other three beings were the Phoenix, Turtle and the Kirin. If you didn't know the Kirin was its the Japanese Unicorn - and If you are interested in learning more about this amazing creature I have actually written a post on this beautiful Creature... Just have a look on my labels under Japanese Kirin.. Anyway back to the post. It seems that that these for divine Creatures of Japan are frequently the emblem of the Emperor of the ancient Japanese times.  The Dragon Ryu is said to Rule the water of Japan. And there is tale about the dragon Ryu or Ryu-jin,  the most well known dragon in Japanese legend. It kinda goes like this; the Ryu Dragon is summons a storm by howls and then transforms into a huge tornado. I found that the Ryu Dragon is very popular in japan because it is an bringer of fortune and wealth and can be used as a good luck charm if one chooses to do so. I found that many people now in modern times have used the Ryu Dragon as a good luck, fortune and wealth in the form as tattoo's.
DRAGIN KINGS- were the Ryu Dragons of Japan... These dragon deities were teachers of Buddha and the propagating his teaching. They would honor the Buddha texts, as they lived in the water and had the 
power to control the rain. I found is some of the stories of the Ryu dragon they would demand the Buddhist 

treasures, especially the relics in exchange for quelling thunderstorms. In their kingdoms beneath the sea they guard treasures, such as jewels, and the Buddhist texts. When an termed is up for an Dragon Kings Ryu, they may appear independently in paintings or they many be shown in groups or as attendants to the Buddhist deities.The link below will show you even more on the legends & Mythology of the Japanese Dragons. I hope that you all Enjoyed the Ryu Dragon of Japan..

I love you all So very much my dear Friends and Followers 

And I hope Your all have a wonderful Friday...

Apalala the River Dragon who was Converted to Buddhism-

Apalala *River Dragon who Converted to Buddhism-

The Apalala River Dragon

Apalala is a fascinating Indian River Dragon that I thought you my dear
friends and followers would find interesting. From what I cold tell you, in the Buddhist Mythology, 
he was the only dragon ever to be converted to a human religion and by Buddha himself. It is said that the Apalala River Dragon lived near the Swat River in India where Buddha visited often. Apalala was an Indian Naga Dragon-A greenish dragon like creature with two legs, two arm and a long tail. Apalala had no wings and a human head. He lived by the Swat river and was the Guardian of the source of the Subhavastu River.
The legends have said many versions and it was very difficult to find what I did find for you.
In one legend it tells that Apalala was unhappy with his life. And It happened to be that very day when

Apalala turned into a
huge Dragon causing
destruction to the
people of India

Buddha himself came to call at the river that Apalala dwell in. And the Buddha actually spoke and had
a conversation with the River Dragon Apalala. This is when Apalala was then converted to Buddhism 
found contentment. As the tale goes Apalala was very Happy so in gratitude the Dragon began using 
his charms to keep the other powerful dragons of the area in check and protect the all the people of 
the India region.After Buddha converted Apalala to the human religion of Buddhism, Apalala then set out to teach it to other dragons, but the other dragons drove him away. However they still allowed Apalala to still 
continue to teach the humans. As most legends goes this went well at first. The people of India were very grateful and offered Apalala the River Dragon a tribute. Sadly over time the people of India started to take
Apalala for granted and eventually even forgot about him.  Well this angered the Dragon Apalala. 
So he turned against humanity and prayed to become a poisonous dragon, causing storms and 
destroying the land of the people. From what I understand this is one of the more popular legends in
Buddhist folklore. The tale is often told to Buddhist children for them to learn their happiness lies in 
their faith and not to take anything for granted. So there is a moral to this tale of the
Apalala River Dragon who wanted to help the people of India.. Never take anything for
granted as the people of India did with the kindly Dragon Apalala did and then he 
turned on them into a deadly Dragon causing destruction and terror to their homeland.
I hope that you all Enjoyed this post about the Apalala River Dragon. I love you all 

my dear friends and followers very much..
