Inleiding tot Alleenloper Feë | The Faeries and Folklore Podcast

ByRonel Janse van Vuuren
A dark fantasy banner titled "FAERIES AND FOLKLORE by Ronel," set against a misty, gnarled forest under a large, glowing full moon. In the bottom left corner, the words "Inleiding tot Alleenloper Feë" are written in a clean, white serif font. In the top right corner, there is a circular, dark metallic or wax seal stamp featuring an embossed illustration of a tree. A scaly blue dragon rests on a rocky ridge in the foreground, surrounded by faint, glowing blue magical embers. A red wax seal has “Afrikaans Edition” stamped on it with an embossed tree.

Episode 221: Alleenloper Feë: Inleiding tot Alleenloper Feë

Alles omtrent Alleenloper Feë in volkskunde en hoe ek dit in my skryfwerk gebruik.

Transkripsie

Jy luister na die Faeries and Folklore podcast deur Ronel.

Ek is donker fantasie skrywer Ronel Janse van Vuuren. Met meer as ‘n dekade van rondsnuffel in stowwerige volkskunde boeke, om wesens van verbeelding wat my nuuskierigheid aangewakker het na te vors, is ek hier om die volkskunde in ‘n neutedop te deel en hoe ek dit herverbeel het vir my skrywerk in ‘n oorsprong van die feë.

Hierdie is die Faeries and Folklore podcast.

Hi, ek is jou gasvrou Ronel Janse van Vuuren. Noem my sommer net Ronel. In vandag se episode, gaan ons voort met ons verkenning van die feëryk.

Ons gaan voort met ons verkenning van Alleenloper Feë. 

Vandag se fee: Alleenloper Feë

Volkskunde in ‘n Neutedop deur Ronel

Feë wat op hul eie deur die wêreld dwaal, dinge doen sonder ander – hulle moet vreemd wees, nie waar nie? Mense wat dinge op hul eie doen, word immers as vreemd beskou – veral skrywers.

William Butler Yeats het besluit dat daar twee soorte feë is: alleenloper feë en hof feë. Hof feë, soos ons reeds bespreek het, verkies die hoflewe. Alleenloper feë verkies egter om alleen te bly en is geneig om kwaadwillig te wees.

Die mees opvallende van Alleenloper feë is die Ierse Aardmannetjie. Hy maak skoene, volgens legende, en dit het hom baie ryk gemaak. Hy het sy skatte in klippe regoor die platteland versteek. Ander Alleenloper Feë sluit die banshee, huiskabouter, pooka en donker muse in.

Volgens Yeats speel alle Alleenloper feë graag truuks met mense – sommige ‘n bietjie meer kwaadwillig as ander.

Solank jy hulle alleen los, sal hulle jou nie pla nie, nè?

En nou vir my interpretasie van die feë in ‘n Oorsprong van die Feë: Alleenloper Feë

Toe die skeuring gebeur het, is baie feë verplaas na die sterflike ryk – saam met dele van Feërie. Sommige feë het besluit om Hof-affiliasies agter te laat en het Alleenlopers geword. Na die groot geveg veroorsaak deur Morrígan wat tot die Syns gelei het, moes hierdie Alleenloper Feë ‘n Hof kies om hul syns aan te betaal in ruil vir beskerming en die reg om op Hofgrond te woon (die hele sterflike ryk was verdeel tussen die twee Howe).

Alleenloper feë kom in baie vorme en groottes voor. En hoewel dit nie raadsaam is om in die lewens van sterflinge in te meng nie (die Verdrag maak dinge moeilik), geniet sommige dit om met mense te speel.

Ek hoop dat jy hierdie episode van die faeries and folklore podcast geniet het en dat jy iets nuuts oor die feë geleer het.

Onthou dat jy ‘n transkripsie van hierdie episode in die beskrywing kan kry.

Tonne volkskunde, toorkrag en gevaar wag! Pas op!
