Today's @FolkloreThurs prompt is the underground! Fairies in Irish folklore are called the Aos Sí or Daoine Sídhe, meaning "The People of the Mounds." They were said to live
beneath the tumuli and other old megalithic structures that dot the Irish landscape.

There were many kinds of mountain spirits to be found in medieval mines. Dwarf-like ones were a good omen for nearby rich ore veins, the mountain devil instead could hurt you throwing rocks or even kill you with his poisonous breath #FolkloreThursday
The Knockers or Tommyknockers, (aka Cousin Jacks) are underground spirits of the mines. Referring to the knocking on the walls before cave-ins. 2ft tall creatures, warning the miners of impending danger. But also known to steal unattended tools or left out food. #FolkloreThursday

For #FolkloreThursday's theme of the underworld and underground, some jottings form my sketchbook. I'm fascinated by the way the British landscape is peppered with reminders of our anicient connection to what lies beneath. #RuralEerie

Gwyn ap Nudd was a Welsh Psychopomp, the king of the Tylwyth Teg (fair folk) and ruler of the Welsh Otherworld, Annwn (believed to be underneath the earth)
He is closely associated with the Wild Hunt along with his spectral hounds (the Cŵn Annwn) #FolkloreThursday
Two paintings based on the mythic journeys to the underworld. #FolkloreThursday #DavidBezArtist
Gnomes happen to be my favorite #underground dwelling creature of #fairytales. They are known in folklore as hobgoblins or kobolds, but in fairy tales they live under trees or in caves, and are delightfully surly creatures who are equal parts wise and childlike.
