A Norwegian naming story, or at least the parts I can remember: Once upon a time, at the dawn of ages, before all things got their names, there were seven sisters. #FolkloreThursday 1/ 
One time the seventh sister was lost in the pine forest, and in the dark and the dense branches, she couldn't see the stars to find her way home. 2/
As she walked and searched for the way, she suddenly saw a tiny lone star. It was a small white flower, showing up bright in the dark forest. 3/
-I can show you the way home, said the flower.
-Who are you, asked the sister, who shines so in the dark?
/4
-Who are you, asked the sister, who shines so in the dark?
/4
-Oh, I didn't get a name, because no one noticed me when they came by in daylight.
-Then you'll be called Forest Star, and light the way for people who are lost, the sister said.
And so it is that the little white flower is called Forest Star or Seven-sister-flower to this day.
-Then you'll be called Forest Star, and light the way for people who are lost, the sister said.
And so it is that the little white flower is called Forest Star or Seven-sister-flower to this day.
