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.

How do you catch a leprechaun if you are not located in Ireland and live in Nevada?

Due to the Leprechaun's warm blooded and small body, it does not thrive well in desert environments such as Nevada, except for Lake Tahoe. As a small animal, Leprechauns require much water, and with their fast metabolisms, much food as well. Personally I live in California, so Leprechauns run the streets, but in Nevada I would recommend a very large green house, one able to reproduce Rainbows so Leprechauns may feel more comfortable in the new environment. This will help them reproduce and thrive. I hope this answered your question. Good luck.

How do you get rid of a small amount of Peter Pan syndrome?

If it's just a small amount of the Peter Pan syndrome then why get rid of it? Sometimes I wish I still had that magical part inside of me that I had as a child, but after years of reality shoved up my nose (and most people are like this) we forget to maintain that magical child-like part of us that can make life more fun and it can be passed onto your children and grandchildren. If this little bit of Peter Pan syndrome isn't hurting anyone then be thankful you either have it or that you are around someone that does.

What is the connection between leprechauns and Saint Patrick's Day?

  • The leprechaun is an old Irish legend. He is like a spirit.
  • I don't think there is a direct connection. Leprechauns are based upon Irish luck fairies and the Celtic version of dwarves, which were small slimy gold hunting tricksters. St. Patrick was the person who supposedly drove out the pagan beliefs and imagery of ancient Ireland. It is likely to simply be Disney-ecse cuteness to have some nice creatures to prance around in the parades etc.
  • There is no connection, except that they are both Irish.
  • Leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day are connected because a leprechaun is an Irish symbol of good luck. Also Saint Patrick had good luck on his escape from the people who captured him.
  • Leprechauns have been in Ireland for millions of years.They are not synominus with any other country. St Patrick was born in Wales but came as a boy slave to Ireland around 400A.D. He escaped and came back to Ireland as a man and Christian Bishop.He converted the pagans living in Ireland to Christianity and thus became Pastron Saint of Ireland.He is buried in Downpatrick in Co. Down
