🤲 Collected Folklore
------
Folklore a beautifully global subject with highly local implications. So we turned it over to you: what comes to mind when you think of folklore? What folkways do you practice in your life? Read our blog to explore what you shared:

This free resource provides education on cultural uses of plants and animals from Guatemala. - Camila Morales

One of the most touching folklore rituals in Bulgaria is The Day of Forgiveness. On this day a family gathers around the table and the eldest person holds a thread, about 30 cm. long, attached to a peeled boiled egg or a lump of halva. They swings the thread in front of each one’s mouth until they manage to bite it. The ritual looks funny, but after that everyone asks the other to forgive him any misbehavior, intentional or unintentional. It makes the family feel closer and warmer. - Lilyana Angelova Angelova

Patrigian Mi Tiri is a Jewish-Greek eggplant recipe that made its way to Jamaica and beyond. It reflects my mother, her mother, and our heritage. - Dr. Annette B. Fromm

The Folklore Advocacy Toolkit is a guide to promoting and sustaining folklore work in the U.S. I’m sharing the toolkit because I believe in the power of storytelling and saving our collective history. - Jennifer Keil

I’m sharing a collection of different types of bread made of corn, yam starch, and cheese. These types of bread are typical of Boyacá and Cundinamarca in Colombia, South America. The recipes are not written anywhere: they have been passed down to women in my family for generations now. - Carolina Segura Ruiz
