In a world that’s rapidly moving toward the digital and the disposable, something as old and quietly powerful as a folktale can easily be forgotten. These stories, told by grandparents, and their grandparents before them, passed between neighbors, shared in quiet corners of the world, carry more than just entertainment. They hold the fears, hopes, values, and imaginations of entire communities.
Every region, every culture has stories that deserve to be heard, remembered, and passed on, not just by scholars, but by anyone with curiosity and respect for where we’ve all come from.
This blog is where I’m gathering these tales. Some may be well-known; others may be from places that rarely get a voice. I’m not here to reinvent them but to keep them accessible. For readers. For researchers. For the next generation who might otherwise never hear them.
Thanks for being here.
