The Folklore of Being

Description

Folklore is a culture's customs, rituals, stories, traditions and practices surrounding everyday life and death.

Though we share some common mythologies in our traditions, folklore can be very much a local affair.
What kills in one place, cures in another.
What brings luck to one rural village, dispels it in a fishing one.
Even one village over can have its differences.

Folklore is the domain of ghost stories and fables.
It is where the lore of flora and fauna are.
It is our burial and death rituals.
it is the practice of magic, the knowledge of spirits, and the root of medicine.

It is fascinating, intricate, thought provoking, and quite often; gross.

The Folklore of Being explores and focuses on those elements of folklore that weave man, the Earth, and the 'otherworld' together.
It also aims to show how we have never lost the the habits of folklore, it has just become a little diminished and; changed by our time in history.
