Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág<p>I'm still having a hard time settling on a theme for the A to Z <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Blogging</span></a> Challenge. So far I've started:</p><p>- Constellation myths (love it, but narratives are hard to find & not sure I can cover all letters)</p><p>- Folktales of emotions (Covers all letters, but hard to define)</p><p>- 26 days of <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/StorySpotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StorySpotting</span></a> (needs 26 TV shows & movies)</p><p>- Folktales & songs (made a song list last year but nervous I'd misinterpret them)</p><p>- Tales of environmental disasters (tons of research)</p><p>Votes & thoughts welcome 😅</p>

Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág<p>By the way, I blogged about the Myanmar legend about the origin of rubies here:<br /><a href="http://multicoloreddiary.blogspot.com/2020/11/storyspotting-rubies-and-royalty-crown.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">multicoloreddiary.blogspot.com</span><span class="invisible">/2020/11/storyspotting-rubies-and-royalty-crown.html</span></a></p><p>This is also the origin story of the (in)famous Mogok ruby mines. It features a Naga princess who falls in love with the Sun, and three magic eggs, one of which bursts in Mogok and fills the land with rubies.<br /> <br /><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>folklore</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/folktales" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>folktales</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/MinCup23" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MinCup23</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/thread" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thread</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/StorySpotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StorySpotting</span></a></p>
