In Turkish legend, a princess fell in love with a humble tradesman, but her father forbade their bond. When their love could find no earthly home, it transformed instead: the first tulip blooming where their hearts once met, a symbol of their unbroken devotion. #FairytaleTuesday

In Norse mythology, Odin's wife is Frigg, goddess of queens, marriage, mothers, and wisdom. She is at least as cunning as her husband, though is quieter about what she knows. Anytime Frigg gets into a competition with Odin, she is able to win through trickery. #FairyTaleTuesday
