Folktale Week 2019
I participated in “Folktale Week” over on Instagram for the first time this year and had a blast!

5. Darkness - Folklore from many cultures include an explanation for the Northern Lights that appear in the dark of winter. My favorite comes from Finland, where the Northern Lights are known as Revontulet, “Fox Fires.” The elusive Firefox, while running through the dark landscape, generates sparks against the trees, which creates the Northern Lights. In another version of the tale, the running Firefox kicks up snow that reflects light as it hangs in the frozen air.
