Hojemännlein
nature_spirit forest German single tradition · 1
Little Kobolds in the Lechrain that are tiny and green in appearance, inhabiting forests and dilapidated farms where they dance on meadow patches without grass. During Advent season they yell 'hoje!', do somersaults, and play good-natured tricks, with their yelling sounding wistfully and like heart-rending weeping. Although born without marrow, they can nonetheless punish quite heavily those who dare to imitate their yells.
