Myths and legends are in every nation. They describe strange and creepy monsters. As well as funny and seemingly harmless creatures. Esoteric teachings suggest that supernatural entities were not invented. They existed on the planet long before the appearance of man. And they still live here. From time to time they even get captured on the camera. Most often, gnomes fall into the lens.
Fairy dwarfs
German-Scandinavian folklore is full of stories of undersized underground inhabitants. Dwarfs of these creatures called Paracelsus. Prior to that, they were known under other names:
- dwarf people;
- Nibelungs;
- Doors
- dwarves;
- lower elves;
- kobbolds.
Where the alchemist got this word from is not exactly known. Perhaps he borrowed it from the Greek language, where "gnosis" means "knowledge." This is explained by the fact that only the Dwarves knew the secret information about the whereabouts of metals and treasures hidden underground.
The height of an adult mythical dwarf does not exceed 130 cm. However, its weight can be more than 200 kg. A female gnome does not exceed 120 cm. Her weight does not exceed 70 kg. The bones of the dwarfs are homogeneous and incredibly strong. Muscles and even fat are much denser than in humans. Despite their heavy weight, the gnomes are extremely strong and agile. They are three times superior to people in stamina and reaction.
The Nibelungs have almost the same vision and hearing as humans. However, they perfectly feel even the slightest vibration of the soil. They don’t know how to run fast, therefore they are unable to catch up with people at short distances. But the gnomes are great marathon runners. At a slow pace, they can overcome huge distances, and then engage in battle.
Dwarves have long relied on technological progress. They are the best specialists in the construction of unsupported, heavy bridges. They need such structures to connect the mines in the rocks. In addition, the dwarves have developed blacksmithing, construction and foundry.
Races of mythical creatures
Dwarves, like humans, have racial classifications. There are only four types of dwarfs:
- The real gnome. The founders of all the other races. Their skin is elastic and tough, resistant to burns, has a copper tint. On the shoulders of men, you can notice intricate tattoos. Straight and red hair . The beard is braided. A female gnome can have wavy curls. This race is generally immune to magic. Life expectancy is 250 years.
- Mountain gnomes or dwarves. The most powerful and hardy among the rest of the dwarfs. The skin is pale and the hair is dark brown. Male dwarves can be color blind. Despite this, their night vision is excellent. They live in the mountains, are engaged in blacksmithing. The body is decorated with runic tattoos. Life expectancy is 200 years.
- Dummies. Undersized race. The skin is dark, the eyes are green or blue. The hair of red people is ashen or light red. Men trim their beards, and female gnomes wear their hair loose.
- Druegar. The smallest gnome and very unusual look. Druegars formed from a small religious cult that was dedicated to the bloody goddess Diamat. They live only underground. Skin color is black, eyes are red, and hair is dazzling white. This type of gnome is professionally engaged in magic. The leader of the tribe is a female gnome.
Differences between female gnomes and men
Dwarves are most often portrayed as men. But women in this fabulous nation also exist. Some sources say that outwardly it is impossible to distinguish, since the fair sex wear the same beards as men. And all courtship comes down only to determine who is hiding under the dense vegetation.
According to another version, the wives of the gnomes are unusually beautiful. They are elegant, have perfect body proportions, blond hair and eyes. Always busy with the household, so rarely come across.
The names of the gnomes are a variety of variations on the theme of distant relatives or heroic ancestors. Nibelungs love their names and can have about a dozen. When the smallest gnome in the family grows up, all living relatives can name it in their own way. In addition, each dwarf must also have nicknames.
Most popular names for female gnomes:
- Bimphotin;
- Duvamil;
- Roivin;
- Illidzhobel;
- Mardnab;
- Lupmottin;
- Wavecock
Evidence for Dwarfs in Real Life
In 2004, during archaeological excavations in the caves of Indonesia, the remains of miniature creatures were discovered. Laboratory analysis of the bones showed that they belong to an adult. The creature's growth did not exceed one meter. Further analysis hit the researchers even more. It turned out that the dwarf found lived on the planet 18 millennia ago.
Not so long ago, a real underground metropolis was discovered in Turkey. It is located at a depth of 80 meters. Above ground are abandoned stone houses with ventilation shafts and hotbeds for heating. The city is connected by a system of underground passages. Their size does not allow a person with average height to go inside. Where all this came from and who built it is not clear.
Gnome Challenge
Fans of magic know that if it is possible to call the gnome with the help of the ritual, he will fulfill any desire of the sorcerer. It is necessary to carry out the ceremony at night, in complete solitude. The best time for this is from one to three at night.
The magic ritual is carried out as follows:
- At night they light a black wax candle from a match.
- 7 different chocolates are scattered on the table.
- The magician must stand at the window, with his back to the table and say: "Dwarf, come! Fulfill the desire, take the fee."
- In the event that a supernatural being appears, a rustle will be heard. In no case should I turn to him.
- Express your desire loudly and clearly several times and thank the dwarf in advance.
- As soon as the rustle subsides, you can turn around.
- In the event that the candies on the table are intact, the entity did not come. In this case, you can try to call her again.
Danger to humans
It is believed that most gnomes are not dangerous to humans. And the probability of meeting this creature is not so high. Only those people who have recently begun to practice magic and practice it at home are at risk.
By invoking a gnome to fulfill a desire, one can open the passage to other dangerous entities. How they behave in relation to the unfortunate sorcerer is unknown. Most likely, such a person will suffer seriously. Therefore, do not disturb the inhabitants of the subtle world. In the event of an attack, defending oneself on their own is almost impossible.
