Household spirits often appear in the form of animals, e.g. cats, calves, dogs, three-legged hares, corvids, insects, worms, rats, wet chicken, toad-like creature or snakes: mostly in black with red, flaming eyes. #folklorethursday Preparation: Tina Tüpke Photo: Hannah Gritsch

The Buschgroßmutter or 'shrub grandmother' appears in German folktales. In some stories she's the queen of the moss people who are a type of fairy. It's said that their lives are connected to the lives of trees. If someone hurts those trees one of them dies. #FolkloreThursday

Humans & household spirits have a difficult relationship. Often there is a taboo which is disregarded in most legends and folktales by humans. As a result, the household spirit disappears forever, like it's known from the #Heinzelmännchen. #FolkloreThursday Photo: Hannah Gritsch

If you hatch the egg of a black rooster & a black hen in your armpit, a bumblebee is coming, which gives you money as long as you carry it in your wallet. #SuperstitionSat
