Talking to the Wee Folk In Case They Actually Exist

[loominggaia]

How do gnomes carry money around and pay for stuff if their so small?

That's a really good question!

First I have to explain that gnomes typically don't live among larger species. This is just one of the many logistical reasons they have their own doll-sized civilizations, because they can use unique doll-sized currency. Other weefolk, like pixies, can use this currency too. This currency doesn't have much--if any--value to larger peoples.

But some gnomes do live among larger species, and these gnomes always have some kind of animal to assist them, called a "familiar". Dogs are most popular familiars, but you might also see gnomes with birds, cats, monkeys, foxes, pigs, and other animals too. They use these animals as transportation, and either train or magically enchant them to do other stuff like move heavy objects, open doors, take money from people, and so on.

These familiars are fitted with bags and bandoliers to carry items that are too big for the gnome to carry. To pay for something with standard gold coins, the gnome reaches into one of these pockets and passes it over a merchant's counter, a few coins at a time. Their familiar might be trained to do this too.

Gnomes can also use paper checks, paper bills, or credit cards in kingdoms that allow it (which isn't many, so gold coins and paper bills remain the most popular way to pay for goods on Looming Gaia).

A post shared by Shamanism Scotland (@spiralheart4)

Nessie is alive and kicking! So says one of Scotland’s leading shamans, Leslie Marsh. If you’re not familiar with the legend of the Loch Ness monster, sightings of “Nessie” have appeared in newspapers for decades and have mostly been dismissed as hoaxes, pranks or simply wishful thinking. In this episode of “Inspired Conversations”, Leslie talks to me about how ‘water horses’ like Nessie are very much alive, about how she became a Shaman and about her beliefs in her role in the interconnected worlds of spirit (higher realm), the physical plane we inhabit as humans (the earthly realm) and the underworld. Leslie is a Shamanic Consultant, Storyteller and Professional Speaker who believes in the power of the stories we tell and asks “What Talk are you Walking?” Join us at 10am and 7pm BST Saturday 15th August and 2am and 7pm BST Tuesday 18th August. www.inspireradio.co.uk #shamanichealing #legends #nessie #scotland #storyteller #shaman #speaker #weefolk #brownies #spiritworld #journeyswithbearandwolf #shsmanismscotland #shamanismglasgow #spiralhearthealing #eachuisge #shamanismglasgow (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4x_euFlom/?igshid=1j5cd0u932l7

Draw Every Day - Sketch #31: “In Progress No. 2D”. In further catching up, here’s my sketch from January 31st. I wrapped up last month with more leaf and branch sketching practice. I WAS in the mood for drawing leaves this time and really got into it. My focus was towards making flowing complimentary shapes, and also controlling shading and line weight so it was detailed, but not too busy, and didn’t compete with the foreground characters. I think it’s getting there. Side note: I forgot to erase the previous day’s date until the final shot. Please disregard the erroneous dates. #draweveryday #roughsketch #roughshading #pencilsketch #pencilshading #practice #nature #willow #willowbranches #weefolk #faerie #faeries #snail #faeriepopo #wip #leaves🍃 #branch #branches #instruction #tips #process #photoreference #illustration #reference #sketch #drawing #constructivedrawing #constructiveanatomy #instaart #instaartist #composition https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt0TsdtFBWD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18g5sjvum2rvp

I CANNOT WAIT TO PUT TO USE THE INCENSE, OINTMENT AND POWDER we made in tonight’s workshop over at @malliwaybros. Have you ever worked with the Fae or faerie realm? I have always been drawn to it my entire life. It’s workshops like these that make me wished I lived in a cottage in the deep woods somewhere in England or Ireland. Haha. #fae #faerie #witchcraft #witchyvibes #witchythings #incense #faerieointment #spellwork #weefolk https://www.instagram.com/p/CPHxWmqhiXA/?utm_medium=tumblr
