Leprechaun: From Gold-Loving Cobbler to Cultural Icon | Monstrum

Fun fact:
Rainbow cups are ancient Celtic coins found in Germany and the Czech Republic. They were sometimes found by farmers after heavy rain.
It’s also interesting that a leprechaun’s gold is always depicted in a cauldron, and not say, a sack.

Pregunta los leprechaun son forjadores y artesamos?

Hmmm... greediness and hooked noses. Maybe a bit of biggotry in irish folklore? (Besides the obvious ableism in changelings. It's ok, Ireland. I still live you. Even though you think I'm a fairy monster... at least I get to be a fairy.)

Oh yes I wish sean watching this video I hope he's happy for it bc is Irish boi a

Leprechauns are obscure in other parts of the world, even their home country, Ireland. However, they are still classic creatures, especially to the United States of America. I am interested in, at least, writing one story of about a Leprechaun for the sake of diversity.

My great grandmother, a lifelong resident of Munster, had a STRONG fear of the Clurichaun. She swore up and down she'd had a terrifying experience as a mid teen whilst going to fetch something from the cellar. I have absolutely no idea if she really did see something or if it was a child's imagination but whatever happened strongly affected her.

What if the myth is based on white rainbows. Which are rare. How about a monstrum on jack o'lantern?

Try as they will and try as they might who steals me gold won't live through the night.

Personally I love the murderous take on the leprechaun! I just think the movies went up to standards?

Imagine that your country was invaded and the invaders commenced a 700 year smear campaign against you. Imagine that those same invaders tried on several occasions to genocide your people and mostly succeeded, but they failed. England we have not forgotten and we never will.

Why call it a three-cornered hat when you could call it a tricorne?

My great grandfather on my grandmother's side was from Ireland. I'm tickled to know Dr Emily Zarka is too through her ancestors

Did anyone feel lucky or craving for Lucky Charms after this video? I sure did feel lucky eehehe

Brilliant! I did not know most of this! Thank you

DEAR DR. ZARKA, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EPISODE WITH THE LEPRECHAUNS, AND I HAVE NEVER
SAID HOW ADORABLE AND FUNNY THE END SEGMENTS ARE ALSO!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS

Leprechauns trolls and eleves

When my grandmother was a little girl, in the 1920s, she fell into a coma with Scarlet Fever. There were no antibiotic available back then so her parents cared for her at home the best they could while the rest of the family held vigil. After the third day in a coma the doctor told her parents to call the priest. Her mother sat next her all night watching her get weaker. Then all of the sudden my grandmother opened her eyes and turned to her mother and said "Mama, I'm thirsty". My grandmother's fever had broken and she got back to normal quickly all because of a Leprechaun. You see, my grandmother heard a tapping on her window and when she looked she saw a little Leprechaun waving at her and smiling. That's when she realized she was thirsty and asked her mother for a drink. Until my grandmother's dying day she believed that the Leprechaun saved her life. But he did take something for payment: her golden blond hair. While recovering all of her blond hair fell out and was replaced by jet black hair but with a blond streak on the left side above her eye brow. I inherited that blond streak (but I'm a strawberry blond) and I feel that I've been blessed by that same Leprechaun (I'm the only other person in the family besides my grandmother who has the blond streak). I'm 55 years old now and my grandmother passed away many years ago but when I hear stories about Leprechauns they always warm my heart and remind me of her. ❤ Much love from Oregon USA.

Whats up doc?

The original version of Laprechaun reminds me of the Danish/Scandinavian creator called: Nisse.

To be completely honest I think the Little Man and Billy were into each other. For sure the Little Man was.

Thanks❤

Due to a freak of nature I actually drove through the end of a rainbow going home from work once. Never saw a pot of gold, though.

Leprechauns are releasing All the Gold they have hidden & are getting a Clearing Today - Yes! - Happy St Patricks Day - All of them will have to go Full Circle now to get Their own Gold - for their Own Evolution - and so it is - Blessings.

The claddagh is top! Thanks, Dr mom!

Respect to your ma lmao

leprechaun gold lasts a few hours, that's it

Pronunciation is excellent!

"Where's ma gold?"

There is evidence of pygmy people.

So um how did rainbows get into the picture?
I’d ask the salmon of knowledge but I can’t find him so.

You should credit the background music.

You forgot to tell the ending of master and man.
On a night when Billy is nearly done serving his seven years and a day the little man takes him to a farmer’s house and informs him that they’re holding a wedding in there and he is planning on stealing the bride. So they get in through the keyhole and climb up on the rafters to avoid being spotted and to have a better overview. Now before they went in the little man had informed Billy that it was his 1000th birthday, to that Billy had said “God bless you” but he was quickly told to never say those words again. Back in the present the little man had made the bride sneeze two times already and no one had said “bless you” (because of a spell I guess), and if the bride sneezed a third time without anyone saying “bless you” she would be within the little man’s power. Then the she sneezed that third time and Billy felt sorry for the girl so he roared out “God bless us all” which made the little man so furious he discharged him from his service and gave him a really hard kick in the back. Billy landed on the supper table much to the astonishment of the company. He told them about the little man and they believed him, the priest then married the couple on the spot and Billy was allowed to stay as just another guest at the wedding.

(And now I always make sure to say “bless you” whenever someone sneezes, just in case 😅)

I absolutely love this whole series ☺!!! know they’re not “monsters”, but I really wish she would do episodes about the unicorn, the mermaid and the phoenix!!! If anyone can/knows how to get a hold of her, please let her know those are my next picks!!!

In Irish folklore, they were originally the helpers of the god Lugh

That's Enlil the Thieves a Donkey Mule Cursed by Ishtar Gaya Sophia Athora Lillith Terra those Enlil Killed Billy's one of his desired victims to be in his Future but he was killed this time he was known as Hitler Fuhrer who lived in the valley of our dead God's he killed Pittsburgh PA and the Two ladies they have as statues are Their captured as Slave's? So now you know? Well that's were they made themselves us but never got our wing's so now what we do with you is up to our Ansestors by the Trillions who came taking back out Enslaved by the Christians you?

Be aware that a cobbler only repairs shoes. A shoemaker creates them. They are not interchangeable words.

Y’all should do one on the leprechaun of Colorado. The Tommy knocker

thanks we sleep so well!

If I ever catch a leprechaun, I'm just going to ask for a pair of dance shoes that don't hurt my feet. That's worth more than a pot of gold to any Irish dancer!

have you done dwarves yet?

Get rid of the American annoying voice.get a Irish accent to do the story.

All right, what about the magical legend of the leprechauns? Mary Muldoon isn’t male, and, of course, the mother and family have leprechaun friends like Sean divine.

I DON'T CARE FOR THIS BS FAIRY OF ST PATRICK'S DAY

Leprechaun: Has a hat that let's them Fast Travel.

Also Leprechaun: Imma ride this Sheep.

I'd say Poitín and Magic Mushrooms might have played a part with regards to the stories of Leprechauns and Faeries.

Here in the Philippines we call all leprechauns, gnomes, elf, goblins, brownie, pixies, imps, and trolls as duende or "nuno sa punso". A "nuno sa punso" is an elf that sits on top of an ant hill and believed to be their home. It is a dwarf like element with an evil power that causes mischief to the one who peed or accidentally destroyed the ant hill. It is similar to Rumpelstiltskin. While fairies and sprites are called ada, engkantada, diwata, or nimpa like the goddess of nature Maria Makiling or Maryang Makiling.
