Keep fighting the good fight. Gnome truth will prevail!

[@korndogg1711]

Gnomes are real magical beings. They are not easy to see but if you happen to be in their area at nights they will investigate you carefully.

[@melissamoonchild9216]

have you seen them? Ive been trying to connect to the fae realm

[@nickgoodwin1105]

I have left offerings of candy and beer in my garden. Those are supposed to attract gnomes and fairies. My garden looks beautiful!

[@Bean-thefishguy]

I love gnomes so much

[@williamgee6654]

Gnomes will follow families through generations of humans undetected and take on the families traits casuing fortune determined by the actions of the family favorable and unfavorable.

[@LurnWell]

In Africa they are often called Yumboes, and Duende in Latin America.

[@deadpoolvega]

Gnomes and Duendes are different things.

[@lorefox201]

[@troysierra5228]

Elfs are part of the gnome culture too. They're Santa's helpers.

[@manuam98]

In Spanish you have both "gnomos" and "duendes", different guys.

[@dantallionmccrews3822]

Here in Wisconsin we have legends of rock-throwing gnomes up in Fifield. Throw a rock into the woods, and the gnome throws a rock back. Interestingly the native cultures here also have stories of rock-throwing smallfolk, that legend explaining the distribution of erratics (boulders moved to strange places by glaciers) throughout the state.

A good treat to leave them is trail mix. It has nuts and dried fruit and seeds. As a child i used to watch grandma leave ginger snaps (look like nilla waffers but made from ginger instead) with cinnamon sprinkled on top, a little milk in an old saucer (like a tiny plate for tea cups) and a couple pennies. She left them at the base of an old apple tree that stood in front of our house but other side of the road. Right behind the tree was a steep drop-off running down to a creek

[@winstonbbailey8740]

did the offerings ever get taken?

[@SirBedevereTheWise]

@@winstonbbailey8740 in front of the house was a tiny yard, then a 1 lane dirt road, the old apple tree, then the hill drop off. The offering was left at the bottom of the apple tree. I've read a lot of these neopagan followers take the treats to a country crossroads and leave it in the north corner. But I don't see the point in that unless you live literally right beside it became gnomes etc are supposedly close to houses (the helpful ones anyway).

[@flamesofvenus]

I’ve always known from a young age that fairies and gnomes are magical beings that guard the earth. They also help flowers and fruits grow and that’s why we have beautiful gardens and farms. As long as we respect the earth and the land they will lend a helping hand and be fortunate. If we don’t respect the land they can become tricksters. I think the garden gnomes we have today are a representations of nature spirits. Long live the gnomes. .

[@keldaogg2157]

Terry Pratchett wrote about them in The Bromeliad. Diggers, Truckers and Wings.

[@jennifervan75]

Finally gnomes!!!

[@zack5486]

Love this vid man. Good stuff

This guy is the direct source for the gnomes. I know he has to be getting his info from one 😅

[@Pretoriacore]

This is absolutely wonderful!

[@KeithPrince-cp3me]

In 1979 in Wallaton Park, here in the UK, some children reported seeing gnomes at a place called The Swamp. It has become a bizarre but well known case. In Britain the stories of Gnome-like characters appear most concentrated in areas with historical strong Norse settlement and influence. Some alternative names are of Norse origin. "Gnome" has become a popular catch-all term for many local similar characters that once had different names. As for cave dwellers, troglodytes, have definitely existed and were real people on which gnomes could be based. One explanation I came across was the word "gnome" deriving from earth-dweller, from dead science, when everything was thought to be composed of fire, water, air, earth, with each having an elemental composed of the one element, in earth's case, the gnome. Some years ago I spoke to a young woman who years prior said she'd seen a gnome walking by the roadside as she went by as a passenger in her mother's car. Begging her mother to turn back to see the gnome her mother told her she was being silly, but in later years told her daughter she had actually seen the gnome herself.

[@ChristoffHavenga]

What I find interesting is, when taking into account the special relationship described between gnomes and animals, they still eat small songbird eggs. Do not get me wrong, I love my eggs and meat, but find it interesting in this world and I cannot reconcile it unless there is some special agreement/trade taking place. Still, how do a good gnome who is a friend of birds, trade with them to eat their eggs (children)? Imagine this scene; "Oh, Hello Sally Birdinstein. I brought you some seeds. May I have some of your eggs?" Hehe! I would love some comments on this.

[@momog5615]

Eggs are fruit of an animal not a living animal. Also birds lay plenty of eggs. Choosing one might allow the other birds to be better fed by their mother. Nature is perfect.

[@axinplays]

Love this! Maybe you could do 20 things about dragons?

[@Longformula]

This was a delightful video, great job !

[@williamgee6654]

If you see them, it is because they let you see them, ancient fairy folk, 300 year lifespans average.

[@wegfarir1963]

They originate from Dwarves in Germanic mythology. Dwarves and elves are ancestor spirits.m

[@ericalashan1923]

Just pick up a bunny and a duck covered in fake grass looking material. Really cute. The girl gnome matched and I couldn't leave her behind...lol. Had no clue about their origin. Perfect set.

"Night of the Bullyworg"

[@coreycoffell6219]

Some one else recently ask for more arctic character option. I here suggest the Snowme. A hardy and mostly hair covered gnome, suited to the climate both physically and magically. Elemental resistance, magic geared toward basic survival...ect. flesh it out.

[@coreycoffell6219]

Predominately covered in thick white hair with blue or bright eyes, broader of build than their cousins, they're shaped more like small dwarves, perfectly suited to these icy climes. They seem just as smart as any gnome, but they have no need, and never became civilized or have regressed to a nature more primitive than even the forest gnomes. I witness them conjure fire, and they use trinkets as if they were magical.

[@coreycoffell6219]

Say a bullywug did somehow get infected with lycanthropy, I wouldnt need to explain how, would I? I could just be glad it was on the Grung side of the pond, right?
