Germanic folklore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Germanic folklore is the lore and mythological culture of several European, and sometimes American, countries. It is the folklore of Germanic peoples from proto-Germanic times to the modern age. It is sometimes incorrectly confined to Germanic paganism, that being the pre-Christian religion of the Germanic world. However, folklore encompasses a much larger definition that just mythology (mythology is a subfield of folklore).
