What universities off majors in mythology and folklore?
Q. I know it sound like an odd thing to major in, but i have decided that i want to spend the rest of my life learning about the unknown, God, all the different kinds of religions, mythology, folklore, and all related subjects. I was wondering what is a good university where i could do this. And what kind of career could i acquire in this field? And you can suggest anything, just shoot and i am willing to consider it.

A. It would be hard to find a college that offers a major in mythology, aside from some sort of Religions major, as mythology is simply too narrow a field of study. Many do offer minors or concentrations in mythology, however. The most common position in that field is as a teacher, and even then, it's going to be hard to find a high school or middle school that would hire you to teach only mythology. Most schools would want you to teach English Comp and Literature, with only a class or two in mythology. At the college level, it's more likely that your class schedule would include three or four mythology classes, but you'd still likely be called upon to teach a comp or lit class or three, as they're far more in demand under General… [cont.]

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.

Is the weather folklore "Maple leaves show their silver lining before a storm" true or false?

A. I've never actually heard that particular one.. but I grew up with my mother and my aunts and my grandmother and even my great-grandmother using the idea, "If you can see the undersides of the leaves a storm is coming." Maybe that's the same thing but in different words. It's amazingly accurate. Then I got married to a beautiful woman who had lived outside of Moscow for all but beginning that year of college that we'd met... turns out they have a similar saying, but I have absolutely no idea how to try to type it out here... but it's the same concept. Many of those old things often have a surprising amount of truth.

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.

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.

A. Charles De Lint. He writes some amazing books that read like modern-day folktales. I'd start out with some of his short story collections: "Tapping the Dream Tree" and "Dreams Underfoot". He has other full length novels that deal with many of the same characters, but those two collections are a good start. Another fresh take on folklore and fairy tales is "The Faery Reel," edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. My favorites stories from that volume are "Foxwife" & "The Annals of Eelin-Ok." Actually, just about anything edited by those two women is going to be good; they tend to deal more in fairy tales/fantasy, though. Check out this site, as well:
