the folklore studies students

telling stories on long winter nights

a reverence for information passed down from generation to generation

the original grimm’s fairytales on your bookshelf

being fascinated by oral forms of storytelling

fighting to have the importance of folklore traditions recognized, rather than dismissed

the warmth of human conversation

comparing various communities and cultures

a love for the art of storytelling

understanding the importance, through context, of seemingly trivial traditions

studying anthropology and literature to supplement your work

the gentle flickering of a candle flame

appreciating the whimsical details of life

folklore as a vehicle for reflecting on the world

analyzing the messages behind myths and fables

the power of cultural heritage to counteract oppression

a stack of folklore anthologies with your favorite pages marked

finding deep significance in a simple legend or story

wanting to make folk culture and traditions more widely recognized and understood

examining the many different versions of a single tale

a fascination with all forms of communication and expression

You are the only one who can change your life, so do something about it!
