What is the difference between folk and tradition?

Folk means people. It mostly refers to rural music and country-themed art these days.\nYou could replace it with Traditional.\n\nBut Tradition are acts, rites, rituals, ceremonies, beliefs, etc. that are carried on within a culture for multiple generations.

A vernacular story would be one that used the language common in that country or locality. The best example I have is "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston in which the characters all use language typical of people of the time living between Eatonville and the Everglades (where the novel takes place). \n\nAnd if you're looking for a short story, "Mama Gone" by Jane Yolen incorporates the vernacular easily into the small tale she weaves.\n\nHope that helps.

I don't think you understand what a tradition is mate

To me, culture is a way of life, food, dress, mannerisms, religious beliefs, holidays, etc for a group of people or particular nationality.  Heritage has more to do with ancestry and the origination of your family tree.

Most folk tales are meant to teach a lesson, no matter what culture they come from.  The people who are most often told folk tales are children.  Without children your society cannot survive, so you want to do everything you can to keep them safe and help them make the best judgements later on in life.

Old is something that is dated, probably past its prime.  Classic is something that transcends fads, that despite its physical age its idea will persist.

Pagan is a prechristian religion.  It's mainly based on understanding the cycles of nature and living with th earth.  It makes much more sense to me than modern religions like Christianity.

A Pagan is anyone who is of a non-Abrahamic religion and self-identifies as a Pagan.  Wiccans and Druids are types of Pagans.  Wicca is a religion "invented" by Gerald Gardner in the late 1940's, and is a hodge-podge of British folklore, occultism, Romanticism and a few other things.  Druidry generally is an attempt at reconstructing the religious beliefs and practices of ancient Celtic peoples (although there are some groups out there which call themselves "Druidic" and are more akin to Wicca or general newage philosophy).\n\nHere are some links:\n\nWicca:\nhttp://mothersmagic.net/\nhttp://wicca.timerift.net/index.html\n\nDruidry:\nhttp://keltria.org/\nhttp://imbas.org/

well I've been a pagan for a long time and I've never heard the term but if its anything like a hedge-witch then its someone who practises by themselves, in other words they don't belong to a coven.

Folklore is much more recent and is usually based on somebody's real experience, the details of which have been passed down for some generations. Mythology goes back into the far distant past and it is not known to have any real historical or factual basis.

Myths, are just stories that are told throughout the generations; most of the time, they fall into a few different categories:  1. Teaching about past events. 2. Teaching a moral, or 3. Just a good story.\n\nI love myths.\n\nAs i folow a non standard religion (in this case, i practice many of the Wiccan and Druidic belief systems), for me magic is real.  We, as humans, have an inate ability to connect with each other, with the planet, and with animals around us.  \n\nOur magic is indeed real :)

"culture" is everyday, popular culture such as music, videos, etc. and "Culture" is high culture such as opera, ballet, etc.  In essence, culture is what a particular society defines itself as at a particular place in time.

Heritage tell where a country came from, its roots.\nEconomy changes rapidly as technology and human needs change.\n\nCulture is the melting pot.  The blending of smaller social groups' heritage to provide tomorrow's economic edge.  Government, religious beliefs, educational needs and social interactions are functions of culture.
