"Up the airy mountain , Down the rushy glen, We daren't go a-hunting, For fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together; Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather..."
The Fairies by William Allingham

About Me & A Warning

I'm a lover of folklore. As a child I loved reading or hearing about so-called 'real life monsters'. Back then I truly believed that monsters were hiding behind every corner and in every bush. Now that I'm grown, I take a more agnostic approach to such tales. I think it's important to touch on the nature of folklore and how one should approach it. It would be a disservice unto folklore to approach it as having a 100% basis in reality. Instead, the proper way to approach folklore is to percieve it as if occuring in an alternative reality or parallel universe. Sure, these tales are magical and intruiging, but they also have a darkside, or should I say, people do. People who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality have been inspired by folklore to harass, abuse, and even kill people. Just think of all the people who have been executed for being 'Witches' and 'Werewolves'. Did such women actually fly through the air to have sex with the devil and eat babies? Did men actually don a magic wolf's pelt to transform into a beast and stalk the night? According to many the answer would be, 'Yes'. I'm not trying to destroy folk tales, instead, I believe it's important to put them in their proper place. The purpose of folklore is to entertain, to fascinate, to escape from the harshness or dulldrum of everyday existance, a nice harmless scare. Sometimes folklore is also a means of protecting small children by scaring them into remaining close to home and away from danger. Folklore is magical. Monsters are magical. Let's not forget that when searching for monsters the first placed we should look is in the mirror. Sometimes the monsters are indeed 'out there', however at other times they are a lot closer to home than we would like to admit.
