Oft times Faeries are malevolent, but at others they just seem accidentally cruel.

A Galway farmer played hurling with the Fae one night. He returned the next morning to find that years had passed, he was dead and his family had even buried his corpse!

ELFLAND or Alfheim 'elf-home' is associated with the land of the dead in folklore; no sun or moon only perpetual twilight. Mortals who enter are only released if they are able to perform some task of value to the fae, W. Henderson, 1897🎨 Gustave Doré, 1870

In the Scottish ballad of Tam Lin, the Fairy Queen is a terrible, seductive figure who pays a tithe to Hell in the form of a soul every 7 years. This echoes Christian lore that fairies were fallen angels neither good enough for heaven nor evil enough for Hell

Before you start building a new home put a pile of rocks or stakes at the potential corners. If you return & the markers are disturbed, pick a different site; the fae aren't happy. They may even move your stakes to the spot they'd prefer you build.

The Cù Sìth "faery dog" is a huge dark-green hound that roams the wilds of Scotland. He howls three times to signal death - to escape, you have to reach safety before the third howl, but if you hear the third you'd be rooted to the spot and die from terror.

In 1884 a mail-cart driver from the Isle of Man had a fascinating tale to tell. He was beset by a troop of fairies who threw his mail-bags on the road and danced around them. This went on until daybreak and the poor man was late for work.

The Legend Of The Big Mischievous Tanuki. This is a simple drawing that I wanted to do. I always found the tanuki in japanese folklore very amusing just for all the weird quirks they can do.

In Slavic folklore samodivas are woodland fairies/nymphs. The Vila Samodiva leads the others in dances, and fulfills the rôle of contact between the protagonist and the mystical world, guiding or giving the hero a task to test him.

Thank you!

I love folklore and theatre in general, cards as well. They have heavily inspired my work.

I resonate most with Jack of Diamonds, which in this deck features Puck.

Casino has bad luck with forest tricksters such as Skunk, and Casino's own Puck-esque ancestor Chip.
