Folk tales from around the world
Thursday, 11 August 2005 11:59 amIt's another Links on a topic post!
I'm using ths post to collect folk tales or stories which are suitable to be adjusted for use as Kul-Tha mythology for the Shards LARP system. The comments will set the stories in that context (a completely fictional religion). I'll probably add more stories to this in future.
From Siberia: Ankakumikaityn the Nomad Wolf tells why the fox is red, and of his trickster nature.
From Native America: How Coyote Stole Fire tells... how Coyote stole fire. Needs some tweaks to work for us, but is generally very appropriate.
From Africa: The Eagle and the Tortoise is about hospitality and pride.
From the Ojibway Americans: Forsaken Brother can be used as a cautionary tale, but also as an indication of how the Spirits come close to those in need.
From Native America: How Bear Lost His Tail - it was all Fox's fault.
From the Comanche nation: Skunk Outwits Coyote - Coyote isn't always the most cunning of creatures.
