Fairytale Folklore and Fuckery

On this last week of Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country that was chosen this week was El Salvador. This country is located in Central America and has many interesting things to explore. But this week, we are deep diving into more of the folklore of El Salvador, from los cadejos to la llorona. We are traveling back in time for spooky tales of mystery and intrigue. El Salvador really was a lovely country to talk about and one day, I do hope I have the pleasure of visiting. Tune in next week for a little goodbye episode where I talk about which was my favorite country, why I did this, and which story won the fucked-up story award!

This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country that was chosen this week was Chad. This country is located in Central Africa and there is very little known about them, unfortunately. But this country is unique because I could only find two sources that really have any lore about their country. Although there wasn't a lot to find, the stories do stick out because they involve predominant characters of Africa like the hyena and the lion. Finally, Chad offers a lot more than most would think, so I hope you learn a thing or two about this country you hardly knew existed! Tune in next week for another cool country I won't know about until Tuesday!

This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country that was chosen this week was Greece. We have a special guest starring on this episode, Quincy Urban from So You Think Your Family's Bad! I guest starred on her show two weeks ago, Psyche Made Aphrodite Mad, so it's finally her turn! We talk a lot about Greek mythology cause it's Quincy's thing and one very interesting fairytale. Hint: all the stories discussed have a lovely theme of murder and mayhem. Because it wouldn't be Greek mythology without it! Tune in next week for another cool country I won't know about until Tuesday!

This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country that was chosen this week was South Sudan. I was so excited to learn about the positive side of South Sudan, because the last time I researched them it was in high school, and it was not happy things. But this week, we get to explore how the fairytales reflect the society they live in and funny but sad folktales that kinddaa make no sense. But that's the beauty in these stories is figuring out their meaning or just hearing a new tale that you've never heard before. Tune in next week for another cool country I won't know about until Tuesday!

This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country that was chosen this week was Turkey! This week is all about poor princesses that fall victim to morbid deaths or terrifying circumstances. The fairytale this week is one that lasts a hot minute simply because of how many princes and dragons and princesses exist in this story. But the last two tales are spoiler: quite sad and involve more dramatic princesses. Turkey has been so interesting to research, so check out the links below to learn a little more.

This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country generator decided to choose the Spice Isle of the Caribbean, Grenada! This country had one of the most interesting fairytales yet, and it is actually relevant to the new Little Mermaid movie. Also, if you like really scary Halloween like creatures, you would love my folktales, there all about a she- devil and a werewolf! I highly suggest checking out some of the links below, because they were really interesting to read how different cultures see the same mythical creature. Tune in next week to see what random country is chosen!!

This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country generator decided to choose one of the only countries that don’t have an Independence Day because they have never been conquered and that is Nepal! This country was a rollercoaster from beginning to end, the deities, the demons and child goddesses that I discussed this week were insane. I learned so much about Nepal and their traditions than I think I do with America. But this week I don’t have a fucked-up tale, I just have an interesting story about a millennium tradition, the Kumari goddesses. I don’t consider this a fucked-up tale because this is rooted in religion and who am I to say it is messed up when I don’t live there or fully understand their cultural heritage? The answer is I’m not anyone who can. I think that this week’s stories really show how rich Nepal is with history, tradition and tales of old because they’ve existed for centuries, since AD at least. Tune in next week to see what random country is chosen!!

This week’s episode features the random country: Cyprus! This country was and still is a fascinating country to learn about with a lot of rich tales to be sown. In these stories you will hear about a vain man, a selfish witch and just how a famous mountain was formed. Spoiler: it wasn't through a natural way. These stories were very interesting to tell and read about, so I hope you enjoy just as much as I have. But warning: the last story is MESSED up, like VERY bad, but it's a part of the fuckery so I had to tell it.
