One evening, a penniless shoemaker received unlikely aid from a few elves. The elves made a pair of beautiful shoes from leather scraps. The man sold the gorgeous shoes and then provided food and clothing to those with less than himself.

With #spring2020 right around the corner, it is almost time for one of my favorites to get to #work; the #Garden Gnome! A helpful member of the fae. Bringing protection & good luck. For when the sun goes down, they come alive at night to help work on your garden.#FolkloreThursday
Another epic session, #FolkloreThursday-ers!
This is @DeeDeeChainey signing off now, but we'll be back in just 30 mins with the epic @Mythcrafts!
(In the meantime, post your 'job vacancy adverts' for 'folkloric jobs' below! Here's the banshee, doing her night job...)
People who labor outside should avoid conversation with Lady Midday (or Polednice). Appearing from a cloud of dust at the hottest part of the day, she causes heatstroke and madness. Beware--if you can't answer her questions, she may cut off your head! #FolkloreThursday

#FolkloreThursday Most common profession for Leprechauns is shoemaker/cobbler. An invaluable job seeing as Trooping Fairies spend so much time dancing in fairy forts at balls & wearing their shoes out. The tapping of his hammer often betrays his position.

The Tailor of Gloucester by @beatrixpotter was based on a true incident.
A tailor was making a suit for the new mayor. He returned to his shop to find the suit finished save for one buttonhole. He encouraged the belief that it was fairy - or mouse - #work. #FolkloreThursday
"I'm a four loom weaver, as many a man knows,
I've nowt to eat an' I, ve worn out mi clothes
Mi clogs are both brocken, an' stockings I've none.
Thee'd hardly gi' us tuppence for all I've getten on."
from the old folk song "Four-loom Weaver"

Many think the dudge-whammet repairer of Winchett Dale has the most pointless occupation, as these green bellows-like creatures apparently serve no real purpose whatsoever. However, to those who really know, his 'job' is a tradition - and valued for that alone. #FolkloreThursday

#Bees symbolise wealth attained through hard work. They belong to Hera, the Mother Goddess of the #moon, & are therefore linked to the sign of Cancer, also known for its love of hard work. #Honey is the ambrosia of the Goddess, & symbolises richness & abundance. #FolkloreThursday

#FolkloreThursday a day late as per usual. #FolkloreFriday has more alliteration anyways. I was thinking about how one explanation for banshees screaming was the call of barn owls and then this happened.

Today I came across a lovely medieval mention of the White Horse at Uffington: "Near the town Abinton [Abingdon] there is a mountain and an image of a horse on it and it is white. And although grass and flowers grow all around it, nothing grows on it" #FolkloreThursday 1/2
