Santería may be a load of old bollocks, but these illustrations of Orichas by Alberto del Pozo are an absolute joy to look at.
background & thoughtful analysis, as always, is readily available over at BibliOddysey

Tribes people, Western Highlands, Papua New Guinea. "I was shooting in Papua New Guinea for the BBC’s landmark documentary Human Planet. I randomly met these guys in the forest near a local singsing ritual. We couldn’t understand each other, and I don’t know anything about them, who they are, or where they came from..."

"Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou is a nun currently living in Jerusalem. She grew up as the daughter of a prominent Ethiopian intellectual, but spent much of her young life in exile, first for schooling, and then again during Mussolini's occupation of Ethiopia's capitol city, Addis Ababa, in 1936. Her musical career was often tragically thwarted by class and gender politics, and when the Emperor himself actually went so far as to personally veto an opportunity for Guèbrou to study abroad in England, she sank into a deep depression before fleeing to a monastery in 1948. Today, she spends up to seven hours a day playing the piano in seclusion."

There is a world of Princes, Wizards and Dragons beneath our cities.
Either that or the rats are starting to get a bit cocky.

Rose of Bread

Rose of Bread, explains Amon Yariv, is made of Bread on a wire.
"The flower is in a plastic bottle and the water is yellowish because of the wire's rust. Yariv is telling us about what prisoners in old Russia where doing while in prison. They were using plain bread and kneading it, leaving it in water for few days; then they were coloring it and flattening it into small red and green leaves. With these they assembled the "flower" head on a wire and when their Girlfriends came to visit they handed it as a gift."

Ailurophobia is a type of specific phobia. It is a persistent, irrational fear of cats. It comes from the Greek αἴλουρος (aílouros), "cat" and φόβος (phóbos), "fear".
A noted sufferer was Napoleon Bonaparte. Other sufferers include Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Mussolini, Hitler and er, La Toya Jackson.

El dia de los muertos

I love the concept of the Mexican day of the Dead in which the dead aren't mourned but celebrated. This animation based on the festivity is appropriately chirpy:
Viva Calaca!
But, of course, I won't let you leave this place feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, so here, have this as a chaser.

Christian The Lion

These two people raised this lion cub who they named Christian, and sadly he got too big for them to take care of so they decided to release him to live as a wild lion. Well, in this footage, a year has passed and it looks like Christian's adapted to living with a pride of lions when his old friends come back to visit him. (...) Not long after, members of Christian's pride approach and even they seem to accept Christian's human friends.
