Folklore consists of culture, including stories, 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 an outline into which new motifs can be placed, and scholars can keep track of all older motifs. Folklore can be divided into four areas of study: artifact (such as voodoo dolls), describable and transmissible entity (oral tradition), culture, and behavior (rituals). These areas do not stand alone, however, as often a particular item or element may fit into more than one of these areas. From Wikipedia under the

When the early settlers arrived from France in the 16th and 17th century, they brought with them popular tales from their homeland. Adapted to fit the traditions of rural Quebec by transforming the European hero into Ti-Jean, a generic rural habitant, they eventually spawned many other tales. Many were passed on through generations by what French speaking Quebecers refer to as Les Raconteurs, or storytellers. Their tales vary in length: good Raconteurs can recite tales lasting over two hours, or even tell them over the course of a few evenings. A great many of the stories were never written down, but rather have been passed on through word of mouth. Almost all of the stories Native to Quebec, were influenced by Christian Dogma and… [cont.] Answered by Irving - Sat Aug 7 05:50:21 2010 Are there any stories about Elves in English folklore? Q. I'm interested in the Nordic/ Germanic kind of Elves that the Anglo-Saxon English would have been familiar with, and who inspired Tolkien's Elves.

Thanks for any info. Asked by Laura T - Sun Jul 4 19:22:42 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. My gosh yes. Understand something though. Evidence suggests that the Germans and Celts diverged sometime in what were early historic times in the mediterranean. They remained closely related, though culturally distinct. in Caesar's time (when he wrote De Bello Gallico) and English legendary mixes Celtic and German legendry with gay abandon. Check out the ballads. There is even a web site devoted to one of them: Tam Lin Allison Gross, Thomas the Rhymer and many other ballads were revived and popularized by English Folk Rock groups like Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span in the early seventies. If you look up the song or group names you can hear them and many others. Mostly these were collected by an ethnomusicologist named… [cont.] Answered by jplatt39 - Sun Jul 4 19:37:15 2010 Is there anything in folklore and mythology that can cure any disease ?
