Connect ParanormalThere are several stories about the magical stone Kymlingestenen in Sweden. Scandinavian tradition has long associated this ancient stone, tucked away in a serene, forested setting, with fairies and other mystical entities. #fairies #swedishfolklore https://fairyland.blog/post/785246133256650752/kymlingestenen-stone

EssAeEmAccording to Swedish folklore recorded in Benjamin Thorpe's 1852 book 'Northern Mythology,' Trolls celebrate Christmas Eve with plenty of music, dancing and drinking. It was said to be dangerous for Christians to be about while these festivities were going on. #FairyTaleTuesday

A drawing I did in 2020 as an ode to my love for Swedish witch lore! Inspired by the stories of De Kloka, KyrkogĂ„rdsgĂ„ngare, and of course, The lore surrounding BlĂ„kulla. Though Easter is the more witchy holiday in Sweden and not Halloween, I havenât shared this piece in a while so I thought it fitting. Enjoy! #cunningfolk #trolldom #swedishfolklore
In the Swedish story of âThe Evil One and Kitta Grau,â a frustrated devil is unable to cause any strife between a newlywed couple, so he offers a woman named Kitta Grau a âsplendid pair of shoesâ if she can get them to fight. When she fulfills this task, the disgusted devil declares Kitta to be worse than him. #FolkloreSunday

In a Swedish folktale, three tailors jokingly promise a girl they will give her a new dress if she could bring Torre Jeppe, the undead specter that haunted the local church, to them. However, when the brave girl did as she was asked, the terrified tailors quickly offered her a second dress to take him away.

Ellen SjömĂ„len, storytellerI am reading âWĂ€rend och Wirdarneâ by Gunnar Olof HyltĂ©n-Cavallius. Itâs about 1800s folklore, tales and legends from WĂ€rend, SmĂ„land, Sweden.
A farmworker once almost sliced a toad with a scythe. Some time later he was invited to dine with VĂ€ttarna, a homestead spirit. But he was terrified, a stone hold by a string of hair hang above his head. A vĂ€tte-girl then said âNow you know how afraid I was when you nearly killed me!â
VĂ€ttar turn themselves into toads during the day. #swedishfolklore
Michael Kazarnowicz@nadinestorying that's really interesting! thank you! on this topic, the Swedish word for nightmare is "mardröm". The last part, "dröm" has the same roots as Englishs "dream". "Mar" refers to "mara", a mythological creature that was said to bring nightmares. The term was "att ridas av maran", lit "to be ridden by the mara". Interestingly, a common vision during sleep paralysis is a monster sitting on your chest.
