[@SurlockGnomez]

Red pillars lifting something up sounds to me like rocket jets. One of which Scotty or as his friends called him Lucky Scotty fell into whilst shouting "She canna take any more, Cap'n! She's gonna blow!".

The Menehune of Hawaii are little people who might have been the original Marquesan people there before the present day Hawaiians showed up. They finish work sometimes, especially the building of rock walls.

I'm always blown away with the quality and content of this podcast. It's so refreshing to hear perfectly rational people talking about the weird and wacky. I'm somewhat educated (postdoc researcher) and really love this stuff, but almost everyone I talk to or read about are either either crazy or dismissive. Also, as most of the speakers on this channel are reading their own writing, it would be nice to have a website or blog devoted to the written works of the speakers.

freaking yeah!!! just what the Snake Doctor ordered 🙂🙂🙂🐍🐍🐍🙂🙂🙂happy Snake dance 🙂🙂🙂🐍🐍🐍🙂🙂🙂

In Dublin, Ireland there is a Leprachaun Museum which is surprisingly good. You are guided through and they tell you all kinds of stories, etc about the fae and the banshee and other sidhe. Highly recommend!

Great podcast as usual! As a Norwegian I can attest to the tradition, which is still in practice, of leaving food out for the "Nisee folks", especially around Christmas season, with which this pagan tradition has been tied to in our modern days / years / ages..The "Nisse" folk was usually viewed a helpers, like you mentioned, around the farm - be it with crops or animals. Regarding evil spirits or "Nykkjen", I would also invite you all to listen to the song "Kirsten Bråten Berg - Heiemo og Nykkjen". The haunting melody tells you all you need to know... Good luck in your encounters! 🤩

My friend's German grandmother used to say the Heinzelmännchen did the work at night but of course it was his mom who did the work.

That's me

[@SmallWonda]

Fascinating - it's come from somewhere... Drew is fun, thanks, guys.

[@bwaynesilva]

At 45 minutes into this episode, it seems to me that at least the northern European stories of the Little People are similar to Santa Clause or nursery rhymes in that they are told to instill in children and others a notion of the importance of cleanliness and order and getting work done on a regular basis. Fear of confronting these little people is also is also needed to keep them more elusive. Like get home before dark or the boogey man will get you. Great stuff Drew!

[@juanmcacho]

Work done in middle of the night? The Elves and The Shoemaker by The Brothers Grimm, anyone?

[@madisonromero3529]

I don't even care if this is real or not. I LOVE ordinary people doing real research and compiling all this really really interesting data!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@RealKlausSchwab]

I just watched "The Fairy King of Ar" on rifftrax. I never watch fairy stuff. Synchronicity's are weird.

[@vikingskuld]

Aersome topic, i been into this since i was a teenager. There have been sightings of these people since before the vrinze age all over the world. Some of the arctic explorirs at the turn if the century had sightings of little people. Thank you this is such an important topic. There was a world war against the birds by the little people.

[@mj2745]

The idea of the layers of existence, one living upon another, upon another, could it also refer to dimensions of existence? Could there not be a whole Universe of other beings living out their existence here but within a different dimension and on occasion due to some kind of weird ass phenomenon maybe of an electromagnetic nature, those dimensions bleed through? Since our field is weakening are we experiencing more of that? This would not apply only to the Fae, but maybe ghosts, poltergeists, aliens and even big foot as well as many other paranormal stuff. This makes the most sense to me. There has to be a source for all these legendary tales.Myth almost always stems from a long forgotten truth. Just ask Randall. Fun discussion and I'd like to know what Drew him into it?😉

[@redtailedspirit4863]

This is what I’ve decided also. I think we’re also heading into a time where the unseen becomes seen again. I was reading several books on shamanism and it would seem our reality got more dense in the last couple centuries. All the various cultures say fairly recently man had more powers and more was accessible to us.

[@ferencjozsef4479]

The bros are back to their best. Great guest!

[@bwaynesilva]

I also felt that the similarity to the lore of UFOs was striking.

[@plotholedetective4166]

"thrashing as much grain as several men" could be the earliest ever reference to crop circle formation. They use the word fairy circles and speak of trashed grain..... Sounds like a damn crop circle to me.

[@lokey420]

There are paintings in ancient Egypt, the blue color was made by grinding lapis lazuli into powder. Lapis lazuli only comes from mines in Afghanistan. Many cultures have gained fame for their ability to make a certain color of dye or paint.

What's crazy is there's an episode of American Dad where Klaus is telling a story about a schnauzer and a little person and how little people are natural enemies with eagles.

Just starting this pod but it reminds me of the Patu-paiarehe who lived amongst the Maori of New Zealand.

[@nateo6806]

VERY interesting series, kudos!

[@bwaynesilva]

And there is always the possibility that these areas had some really good mushrooms that once eaten allowed for the viewing of little people, thus starting the stories.

I was 5' tall in kindergarten and my Grandfather told me 2 smaller brothers were Leprechauns. It is funny now, but I was really put out when not only did nobody else believe me I was forced to apologize to their Mom .. I was taller than her! Little people are real and they live amongst us!

Thrashing grain is a reference to crop circles and very possibly the oldest reference.

[@SurlockGnomez]

"Tis one of their tenets that nothing perisheth, but (as the sun and year) everything goes in a circle, lesser or greater, and is renewed and refreshed in its revolutions; as ’tis another, that every body in the creation moves (which is a sort of life); and that nothing moves but has another animal moving on it; and so on, to the utmost minutest corpuscle that’s capable of being a receptacle of life." For me this is describing the solar system and that energy cannot be created or destroyed only recycled. The "lesser" part meaning moons/asteroids/comets whilst planets being the "greater". Relative positioning backs this up thanks to the described illusion that the body you are on are isn't moving but everything else is "nothing moves". With us being some of animals that move on one of those bodies ("has another animal moving on it"). The last bit means this is also the case for other bodies such as planets down to comets/asteroid/meteors (minutest corpuscle) that are capable of supporting of life. Possibly hinting towards panspermia.

[@bwaynesilva]

Another view, supported by the fairies having sway over human environments, is that they were thought of as gods akin to the way the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans spoke of their gods controlling their lives.

[@JohnCoughlan1]

Great show! Would love to see you guys follow this great episode with a deep-dive sometime about Schiehallion (Fairy Hill), the Scottish QUARTZITE mountain famous for being the site where science did the first "weighing of the Earth".

@2:09:25 - Merchants on Ships. Been happening for hundreds if not a few thousand years, I think there was evidence found of Cornwall in England trading copper for who knows how long with Mediterannean peoples. Migrating communities mixing and sharing stories - there were HUGE shifts around the East of Europe right across to the UK. Pilgrimages. Pagan religion/culture keeping it alive and adding revere. I know it is boring, but I think you hit the nail on the head with "merging of misunderstanding of the natural world, peoples feelings of the afterlife and superstition" with imagination & creativity thrown in and many many years of the stories being shared and amended. Just sit in or by a graveyard alone at night and see how you feel, imagine that thousands of years ago - or even watching a scary movie alone in the house. Easy to see how all of these things begin - Still I loved the episode and Drew was great

[@Cloxxki]

Some very real man cave phenonema right there. Perhaps that's why my grandad hung the tools high up on a wall in designated places. Little could won't mess with it there, toolboxes are "fair game"?

[@idolcruisefix71]

It seems alot of the stories are possibly parallel with basic life drama and the psychological processes we traverse. So, some of the questions might be "what is consciousness capable of". and then we found the hobbit people in south east asia, so another question is "how long have other humanoids survived from ancient times and how do we get to know them?"

[@lady00303]

I have heard fae stories that human's have become hostage in their realm and someone has had to come to rescue them out of it.. think snow white and the 7 dwarves... she's surrounded by little people. Just a thought. Also stay out of the fairy rings!

[@Patrix8558]

50:20 stories were oral tradition, even if they had no meaning, people try to preserver them word by word, because they may have meaning in the past or they wanted to preserve part of their history 1:54:20 stories and some before that sound more like stories to take care of yourself and your house so you wont get dirty, etc. It is like rules, but in a form of a fairytale, so it is easy to remember and can be referenced by single word or a phrase. Easy to follow by anyone, not boring for children, and you keep your house and water clean for usage.

[@vikingskuld]

Hey here is one thing you to think about. The littke people were real throughput history they were known as another group of people. They were never a fairy-tale or story with a meaning. That only came along later after the little people started vanishing. Even the changeling story. You spend a lot of time trying to find some hidden meaning in the story or life lesson, whos to say there is one? They have just as many stories about how to get yiur child back or how to prove you do have a changeling. With all that i find it difficult to imagine they were just stories for learning about life. Just like the world war that was going on between the little people and large birds. That war story was all over greek and Roman pottery for years. To them it was history not a myth or life lesson. Later on after the little people slowly vanished we may have tried to treat them as something else but i think that takes away from what they were originally. Now this is just my opinion and if you have another reason i may not be seeing things correctly please let me know. Thank you guys for this episode it is great to hear it. So i want you to know how much i appreciate it.

[@grimwaldsilverpipe4326]

1:35:41 as all things move which is a sort of life, and that nothing moves but has another animal upon it. This makes me think of micro/macro biology. Think of the earth. It moves through the vacume of space, yet we animals walking on top of it do not perceive its motion. Similar to humans walking about. We have bacteria and micro organisms walking about or bodies, yet we do not perceive them, nor do they perceive the motion of our movement. Our very earth moves about the celestial heavens, unaware of the greater movent of the cosmos aound it, for which it is nothing more than a micro organism, as bacteria is to us.
