Talk:Korrigan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is already a Corrigan (Breton folklore) article. Perhaps it needs to be merged with this article.

[edit] The article seems to be incorrect

I'm very surprised by the association of korrigan with a female-only type of fearies. I'm Breton and all the stories I've ever read and heard about korrigans have them as a people of males and females. Actually by far most of the stories I know involve male korrigans. This article is actually contradictory with the French article which (to me) seems much more accurate. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korrigan

Yeah, I live in Brittanny and I've never heard of this (the english wiki) version of the Korrigan.

[edit] Incorrect article

I'm very interested in Britton culture, and I've always seen Korrigans as males. They are little dwarfs who live in woods and who may be evil or kind depending on their personality, but for sure a little mischievous. Maybe the person who wrote this article just read one korrigan tale with a "korrigane" in it, or simply mixed up with other fairy tales.
