Leprechauns

Derived from the Irish word "luchorpan" meaning "little man," Leprechauns are Irish fairies who are about two feet tall and look like little old men. They are solitary and happy creatures who live in remote places. Legend says they have pots of gold and if you catch one, they might tell you where it is in order to escape.

However, in traditional folklore, leprechauns are often portrayed as mischievous and cunning beings, so it's possible that they could read cursive if it aligned with their magical abilities.

What was the original job of leprechauns?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to many Irish legends, the Leprechauns are small men, perhaps male fairies, that are dressed as a shoemaker would be, though their outfits are a very rich green. It is said that when they are hidden, they can often be detected by the sound of a shoemaker's hammer tapping against the soles of a shoe, as they work upon it. Many people would think that they would be searching for gold and collecting it, and in a way you would be correct, but this is not their main job, nor their main goal in life. Due to their attire and the way they can be found, many Irish folklore stories will say that they mend shoes.

Did leprechauns always wear green?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is generally believed that leprechauns wearing green (as well as sitting on toadstools and having red beards) is borrowed from European folklore. The green uniform is considered to be a 20th century idea.

The earliest accounts of leprechauns in Ireland depict them wearing red (and gold). They are often described as old, wrinkled men.
