The Kappa is a creature in Japanese Folklore. In places where it is rumored to roam, warning signs have been placed to ward away children and tourists. Kappa’s are water demons with incredible elastic arms. They lure people to their pools and drown them to eat them. There are two ways to stop this demon from eating you. The only thing they love to eat more than human flesh (particularly the livers) are cucumbers. They even sneak out of their habitat just to get a cucumber. Just carve your name and birth date in a cucumber and when they eat it, they’ll have to leave you alone. Another way is to take advantage of the hollow in their head. This hollow contains water. This water gives them their power. If you find a way to make them bow, the water will spill out and he will be powerless. *

I’m lucky that I have five large cucumbers at home, will need to sneak one from my hubby’s pickle factory (his terminology) 🙂

Nice post. Excited to find your blog, I’m a mythology enthusiast and hadn’t seen much around the theme here yet. I actually made a post about the Phoenix yesterday if you’d like to read! https://exploringconciousness.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/the-meaning-of-the-phoenix/
