From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, music, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, and so forth within a particular population comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of that culture, subculture, or group. It is also the set of practices through which those expressive genres are shared. The academic and usually ethnographic study of folklore is sometimes called folkloristics. The word 'folklore' was first used by the English antiquarian William Thoms in a letter published by the London Journal Athenaeum in 1846. In usage, there is a continuum between folklore and mythology. Stith Thompson made a major attempt to index the motifs of both folklore and mythology, providing at outline into which new motifs can be placed, and scholars can keep track of all older motifs.

This is one of the true Mythology & Folklore questions I will post this day. I will give best answers, but I will ignore urls except as Sources. Asked by Terry - Fri May 1 17:39:51 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The banshee is sometimes accompanied by a black coach, mounted by a coffin, and drawn by headless horses driven by a Dullahan. It will go rumbling to your door and if you answer it blood will be thrown in your face. This is an omen of death. These headless phantoms are found elsewhere besides Ireland. In Norway the heads of corpses were cut off to make their ghosts feeble. Thus came into existence the Dullahans. Answered by child of atlantis - Fri May 1 17:51:41 2009 What is the connection betweeen Fairies and Folklore from the Renaissance or Medieval period? Q. I've assumed for a long time that Fairies, small human like creatures with wings, and other such fantastical-like creatures, developed from literature and folklore that emerged out of Europe in the Midieval and Renaissance eras. I am looking for information on this subject to prove this "belief." Does anyone know of websites or sources that have historical information on authors or folklore in Europe during this time period? Medieval: 5th-14th centuries, Renaissance: 14th-17th Specifically, I'm most interested in looking for the historical origin of a Fairy. Asked by mom2three - Sun Apr 13 21:23:07 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. Ya' know...I can't quote any sites or webpages, but I do remember reading something about Ireland and the Tuatha Da Danna. The Tuatha were said to be fairies (magical people)who came to Ireland by way of the sea. They had advance knowledge of mining and primitive tech for the tribes they encountered. The Tuatha did not leave Ireland until defeated by the first go round with Latin Rome who were said to be the enemies of the Tuatha, the Fomori or Formorae. Maybe these bits of trivial knowledge myths can help you on your search for knowledge. Answered by _illyanna - Sun Apr 13 22:21:25 2008 Why is everyone in the mythology and folklore section calling themselves vampyres?
Q. It would be great to get some answers from these people themselves! Do the vampyres out there have an addiction to blood? Can stupid things like garlic kill you? Do you have no reflection? Do you kill for blood? When you suck someones blood do they turn into vampyres? DO you do it to people you know to be safe from ades? Are you evil? I am not pagan!
