Norwegian Folklore

[TheVKfan1]

I bet the Nisse is why my great great great grandfather moved from Norway to America. :P

[cuzgandalfgothigh99]

norway is an ancient and mysterious country indeed. i even have a nisse here at my farm helping me. also, they are most likely invisible to people that dont believe in them. my father saw a troll footprint once, he said it was like 2 times bigger then him. one of those mountain trolls i guess. occasionally i take a trip to the forests or caves/mountains to look for these creatures.

[TDGWTK]

Lumsk - Trolling Tekst:

Vilja du høyra historia

om Trolltindane i Romsdal?

det gjekk seg slik at dei vart te'

da jotnane skulle gifta seg

-og brurefølgjet seg på ferda

Giftarmålet skulle stå

i trollkyrkja som var deira

ved foten av fjellet Romsdalshorn

alle jotnane skulle feira

[OrthrusTails]

Nokre av jotnane kom langvegs frå

og starta tidleg med festen

ølbollen vandra i ring blant dei

som gjekk på den brurevei

-og tida ho blei ikkje lange

Tida var gløymd og natta blei lang

dei spøkte og lo og fnisa

dess meir dei supa og lo og song

dei nærma seg umerkeleg krisa

[OrthrusTails]

Dei tura i lag

og natt blei til dag

men med dagslyset kom også sola

det øyeblikk strålane følgjet traff

var dei ikkje blant oss her på jorda

Ikkje ein jotne held seg på beina

følgjet blei som forsteina

det hjelpte ikkje å verte gal

dei står der den dag i dag

[OrthrusTails]

Nøkken also do play the violin, with a magical tune he make their victims turn into some sort of trance, and make them follow him back to the lake...

[BaronCryptfiend]

Nice video. Norwegian folklore is a very interesting subject. I believe that most of these creatures, but only because it is tradition. My family have believed in these creatures for many, many generations, and I don`t want to be the one who stopped believing in them. I still write stories about the nøkk and the kvernknurr, which I do believe was not mentioned here. But, I have heard that a male Hulder is called a hulderkall. Huldermann might be correct as well, just pointing it out.

[BJHBNE]

Ive seen one of the creatures on the short list the "Alv" when i was a kid in Bergen, it looked like a classic tinkerbell fairy.

[iszalgocomin]

Nøkken O_O

[Kamikuru77]

:O omg awsome! whats the name of this song?

[sokipuru]

Huldra - in estonian it's called "näkk ", but I don't know anything about male "näkks"

Nisse - in estonian it's called "hall", more used in plurar "hallid"

[Utgardchaos]

alv/elf, vætter, tusser/hobbit, dverger/dwarf, jotne/ogres,troll/troll.

hate those people who say"ey, this norwegian band muzt redzz to much lotr"

[DaVinci881]

My grandfather saw a nisse in Hadeland when he was 15 or something.. : p

[Vikingskog]

@DaVinci881 Haha tøft

[Sinnicie666]

Id like to know from who's this song.. sounds very similar to a norwegian band, but the version i know is quite different....

[magdalenito25]

something tells me that the complex of trolls

appears on Sundays! Giant strange man!

[GearsofNorway]

You forgot Kraken the biggest myth of them all!!

[HardRoxxx555]

@GearsofNorway er ikke den fra gresk folkesagn?

[einherjen]

FED video ! Tommelfingeren opad.

[Motstand13]

The nisse of our house is epic. Last winter I gave him a little cup of beer (placed it on one of his favourite spots). And the very next day I found an item that i had lost and thought long gone =)

[God670]

@Motstand13 Thats it! Screw american farming! Im farming in Norway. I want help on my crops not to help the goverments penny shortage!

[mfjunior]

Great video!! I'm from Brasil!

[nenoba]

this is magic!

[kitsuneateagreeley]

I'm not sure if I have already asked you this but do you believe in these creatures?

[Vikingskog]

I belive in nisser a bit :) but im not sure about the others. They never had a large presence here in my area, so i will decide when i move to the mountain villages, thats where the folklore creatures presence has always been strongest.

[Nanis264]

the second one "Nokken" reminds me of the british "kelpie"

[siggdigg]

it's basicly the same thing

[TheNanoc]

hey if anybody knows of some good websites about folklore from any country please send me a link. i really love this kind of stuff. things like the baba yaga and koschei the deathless.......

[metsanhaltia]

"Huldra" form Norwegian folklore remind me of "Iele" from Daco-Romanian folklore... are they related to summer or to any summer festival?

[limbride]

We don't celebrate monsters :)

[Starchild91]

Actually, Storåsfestivalen is an annual festival here in Norway, during summer, that got two of them in their logo. :]
