Z is for Zwerge #AtoZChallenge




Not the smartest Zwerge.  





Origin:  Germany



Description:  The Zwerge is a dwarf that is known to live a myriad of places - the Underworld, springs and wells, caves or ruined castles.  (Zwerge is the German word for Dwarf.)  In the Underworld, they have chambers filled with all kinds of treasures.  They can pass through rock and they can become invisible



Disposition:  Sometimes they are helpful to humans.  Sometimes they give gifts and other times they steal corn and injury cattle.  Like many faeries, there are many facets to their personality.





I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that checked out my blog this month.  I hope you enjoyed the posts.  I know I enjoyed yours. 



I do a Faerie Friday post every week and the occasional post during the week.  Please stop by again and check them out.

  5. Love elves and dwarves and pixies and fairies and...brownies!? Brownies are supposed to be mean. Cute picture. It is fascinating to think of what might live in caves and holes in the ground! If I were little, I could live in a hole in the ground!

  6. Fascinating! Little Zwerge sounds almost like a pack rat. :) I've enjoyed visiting you and learning all about fairies, pixies and the like. This was my first year for A to Z and my head is booming with knowledge about ... well, EVERYTHING! LOL I'm already looking forward to next year.
