All families have a tail to tell and there is always some truth to a tail. For every person who was had an experience, they experienced it differently than others, so their tails may be different but still fermiliar.

Thank you Seb! This is a beatiful flower, it caught my eye on the google search for Odinic symbols. And a wonderful lore.

I was not familiar with that edelweiss legend. The one that I know says that no girl has to listen to a man’s suit until he has shewn his pluck by retrieving a sprig of Edelweiss from the highest peak and offering it to her as a token of love. There’s an entire opera based on this premise, Eden and Somerville’s “The Mountaineers.” A great opera and with a beautiful story and setting.
Thanks for sharing this other story.

Thank you. I never knew anything about Edelweiss outside what “The Sound of Music” taught me!!!

Reminds me a little of the Welsh legend of the flower-woman, Bloddhuhed.

Thank you for this interesting piece Seb, it is always fascinating to read about our lore, and it is of course essential that we work to ensure it is passed on to our children and the rest of our Folk. Keep it up!
