#folklorethursday As a kid I loved the story of Snow White and Rose Red, sisters who befriend a bear and keep having run ins with an ungrateful dwarf.
The last time they see the dwarf, the bear is about to kill him. True to form, he begs for the girls to be eaten instead.
The other-world is a reversal of ours. Things plentiful here are in dearth there. When light there, our world is dark. The right hand here corresponds to the left there--Why people became wary of the left-handed: they could be spirits from that reversed world.
