If you like #Bluegrass music, then you’ll very likely love Scandanavian/Nordic folk music as well. I know I do. I wrote an essay on the subject: Introduction to Nordic Folk Music I Wrote For A Bluegrass Loving Friend. There are some great groups featured, like Vasen and Dreamer’s Circle, with links to #MusicVideos in the essay. I also talk about unique Nordic #FolkMusic instruments like the Nykelharpa and Hardanger fiddle. If you enjoy the piece, and the music, please feel free to share. https://docs.google.com/document/d/151G-Wg623iFVeSATyQZlJ0CyHxJpBN3wl0D1VQHsN5M/edit?usp=drivesdk #Music #Scandanavia #ScandanavianFolkLore #Norway #Sweden #Iceland #FaroeIslands #Denmark

A nisse is a creature from Scandinavian folklore that resembles a little man in a red cap and acts as the guardian of a particular farm. It is traditional to leave your nisse a bowl of porridge on Christmas Eve in order to stay on his good side. #FolkyFriday

My introduction to trolls and other elements of Scandinavian folklore was the 1980s animated TV series 'David the Gnome.' Based on Wil Huygen's bestselling books about gnomes, the show followed David and his family on quests to help others and outsmart trolls. #WyrdWednesday

A vengeful troll once gave a letter to a traveler and asked him to deliver it to Kund. Inside the envelope was enough water to flood that village, but because it unfolded before reaching its destination, the water that spilled out instead formed Tiis Lake. #LegendaryWednesday

Caught being a bit too friendly with Knurremurre the troll's wife, a young troll fled to a nearby human town and disguised himself as a cat. The troll lived many happy years as the pet of a poor man but immediately abandoned him upon learning Knurremurre was dead. #WyrdWednesday

Six calves were once trapped inside a Vosborg house for two weeks after being snowed in during a winter storm. When the snow finally melted, their owners were amazed to find them not only still alive but well feed, which they attributed to the work of the Nisse. #FolkloreSunday
