Folklore/Mythology- not common knowledge?
September 1st, 2010
I really enjoy folklore and mythology and supernatural creatures. They’re endlessly fascinating. So I read and learn as much as I can.
But not everyone gets my references. But I just assume that everyone knows about this stuff, I guess. Sorta like, how everyone has a pretty general idea of what Santa Clause is, you know?
I have conversations and I reference things like harpies or changelings, and people are just like, “What in the world?” Recently I referenced the “brownies” (helpful spirits) and the person I was talking to had absolutely no idea what they were.
It’s probably always been like that, but I’ve only really noticed recently that all this isn’t exactly common knowledge. I really love you, Darkness, because you (a lot of you) know about all this stuff. A lot of you know more about it than I do!
