The title is a folk song. Pity I didn’t have it at the weekend. I could have showed it to @FolkloreSociety conference #WorkingLife2018
A question was asked about recording folklorists during #WorkingLife2018. Here's evidence of my answer https://t.co/Mu0UUyYgI3
Anyone for a game of bottle kicking?
Our interview with Doc Rowe is still ongoing (56 tracks so far!) but it's a part of our Oral History of Oral History collection (meta, we know) and you can listen to most of them online: https://t.co/e1ebj7x4YZ https://t.co/7DbNGihkEY

Should also say a particularly huge 'thank you' to @OllieDouglas for having organised the conference, & then giving us such a wonderful tour of @TheMERL afterwards #WorkingLife2018
#WorkingLife2018 @FolkloreSociety Thanks to everyone for a really nice and informative weekend! Now off to @TheMERL for lunch and a tour!
Tommy Kuusela now fielding questions about forest (and other) spirits as we head to the close of #WorkingLife2018
I'm about to knock off. It's been great #WorkingLife2018
#WorkingLife2018 Tommy's paper on the Forest Spirit brings an excellent @FolkloreSociety Working Life conference to a close. Thanks to @TheMERL for hosting and @OllieDouglas for facilitating. I hope my contributions via the hashtag have been of interest
Relative infrequency of testimonies from young informants. I wonder what this reflects about collecting policy: were they largely /asking/ older people, or were they the main tellers? #WorkingLife2018
This is Talle-Maja. My friend gave me a book about her a while back, which is lovely although my Swedish is not quite existent enough to read it #WorkingLife2018
#WorkingLife2018 The forest spirit in Sweden is usually attractive but in some cases a hag. In a common motif, supernatural features may be revealed by a tail or cloven feet
How is the female spirit described in their archives? (Again, I'm no expert, but 'goer' is springing to mind) #WorkingLife2018
#WorkingLife2018 Swedish witch trials spanned the period 1668-1676. Some were sentenced to death for having alleged sexual relations with the forest spirit. They were considered idolatrous
A 1707 impression of the forest spirit. I'm no expert, but the chief feature appears to be that she has her breasts out #WorkingLife2018
Tommy attempting to describe the appearance of a forest spirit in a charcoal-burner's hut. Think: a woman's leg comes through the door, Hollywood music is playing, everything's in slo-mo #WorkingLife2018
