Fanitullen/Fandens trall

Did an art-collab with the talented @ifindus! I’m very happy with the results and wow, Findus is talented😳 I did the sketch and they did the lineart and colouring! You can check their piece on their blog here

The theme for this was Norwegian folktales/folklore! I chose Fanitullen (fandens trall/the devils tune) because it’s a lesser known folktale from Norway! (You can read more about the story down below)


The story takes place during a wedding in Hol during the 1720s, where two young boys ends up in a fight. The toastmaster goes down the basement to get some beer for the winner of said fight. Down in the basement, he’s met with the sight of a smaller man sitting on one of the beer-barrels holding a fiddle, playing in a tune the toastmaster has never heard before. The small man held the fiddle the oppsite way and was tapping his left foot with to the beat on the barrel, expect his foot was a horsefoot. This man was actually the Devil.

The toastmaster had hurried up and ran outside only to find one of the boys dead on the ground. This resulted in people thinking that the other boy had killed him, and the boy ran away in fear of execution

This story has some other versions and the story itself it’s not very known, but the tune is! “Fanitullen” is a melody/“slått” that’s usually played on a Hardanger fiddle. This tune many people have heard, but not the story itself… however-

-belief has it, that those who are able to play Fanitullen, have been taught by the devil himself. And some might even believe that the people who are able to do play Fanitullen, might be the devil in disguise. Also, it is said that if you hear the Fanitullen tune out of knowhere and only you hear it, it’s a sign that you’re going to die - the devil is after you.

Again, not very know, and most people today have no clue about Fanitullen, hence why I chose this folktale. And the version I was told differs with that when the toastmaster gets up from the basement and out, he doesn’t only find one of the boys dead, but everyone except him. Very dark indeed lol

"He gave me my mail and said 'Are you expecting anything from Germany?' and I said 'I might be - we've got friends over there'," said Mr Biggs.

this is so funny

"He said 'Have a look at this letter' - so I had a look and turned it over and our friends' address was on the back of it and on the front it just said England."

Mr Biggs said the card had been sent from a sorting office in Germany close to Gloucester's twin town of Trier and had not been opened.

"I said 'How on earth did you know it was for me?' and he said 'I didn't, I've been wandering around with this', said Mr Biggs.

"My wife and I are absolutely shocked but this puts posties at five or six stars and top of the tree for me this Christmas."

The card, it is believed, may have originally been addressed correctly and so was sent to the right area of England - but with an address label that fell off at some point.

A Royal Mail spokesman said: "Royal Mail's team of 'address detectives' are renowned for their ability to ensure poorly addressed items of mail reach their intended recipients however, even by their standards, this is pretty impressive."

the royal mail detectives are a weird bunch, and like if it was addressed right it would get right but i love the idea they went "well it's from Trier so send it to the twinned town first"
