Querkel & Querze legends

di Wilfried Stevens (Autore)

epubli, 2025

Many stories, myths, and folktales tell of "small-statured creatures" that we commonly refer to as "dwarves." The most interesting local stories about dwarves I've found so far are in Nordic mythology, which dates back thousands of years, in the ancient legends of Iceland and Scandinavia, as well as in the Alpine countries of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Most dwarf stories repeatedly point out that dwarves like to live in underground caves or deep in the mountains, where humans cannot follow them, but at the same time seek contact with humans. They also enjoy repairing things, searching for ore in the depths, and are said to have all sorts of magical powers. Some even lived harmoniously alongside humans, according to the legends. These articles are intended to renew and inspire the fascination with dwarves and their stories. Of course, everyone should decide for themselves whether these are all just wonderful, imagined stories or whether there might be some kernel of truth behind them.
