If you ask the spirits for food, be courteous enough to actually eat it instead of throwing it away.For they don't take kindly to being insulted in this manner.#Germany #folktale #folklore https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/The_Rejected_Cake

@mythologymonday Alas, I will have to sit that one out - body art was not really a priority of German peasants of prior centuries...

On the whole, I recommend against making a business deal with dwarves.Their omertà code can be a killer.#Germany #folktale #folklore #dwarf https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/The_Baker%27s_Boy_in_the_Karlsberg_Hill

@hrast Which career? I have several.

@cogdog I plan to add an explainer at some point which makes clear what is and what isn't CC0, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Children often got caught up in the narratives of German folk tales. This was frequently to their detriment.#Germany #folklore # childhttps://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/Category:Child

@yatagarasu A good question! Though I think in this case the soul is seen as a substitute for the missing flour.

Modern portrayals of dwarves mostly derive from Tolkien - but dwarves from German folklore were considerably more magical, and could arguably be classified as spirits.#folklore #dwarf #dnd #ttrpg https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/Category:Dwarf
