• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Corn Spirits are an integral part of German myth and culture. Appearing in many shapes and forms, they're known as Feldgeister (Field Spirits) or Korndämonen (Corn Demons). They also relate to wheat and other grains. Some can create whirlwinds or storms.
At harvest the spirit hides in the last stalk. It's killed by cutting the grain heads, threshing the corn or it is brought to the village in ceremony, shaped as a corn doll.
Direct contact to the Feldgeister causes illness. Feldgeister may present as birds or other animals, a child (das Kornkind), demonic entities, as whirlwinds of wind or dust. They appear in fields to consume crops or lie in waiting for human prey, especially children who wander too far into the corn.

Autorenporträt

Hello from Canada! The Rhine Maidens are gracing my profile pic as they inspire many tales. My stories and books are influenced by Germanic history, myth and magic. Being first generation Canadian with German heritage I also heard many fascinating tales growing up. You'll find plenty in the Lora Ley Fantasy Fiction Series. And, just finished Reiker For Hire, a thrilling Victorian detective crime novella trilogy. In process is a Bronze Age adventure Cult of the Fire God, in which heroine Kah'ni must leave her northern European home near the Baltic. Accompanied by a jaded Fate Goddess, a canny traveling merchant, a snobbish Hellene and a mad shaman, she journeys south in an unforgettable quest to find her sister Shana.
