Fun fact for today's #MinCup23: Galena was Mineral of the Year in Hungary in 2019!

I don't have a folktale for it specifically, but it is a lead ore, so let me introduce you to one of my favorite Hungarian folktale villains:

The Lead Monk

Sometimes also called "Snotty Lead Monk" (🤷‍♀️ ), this supernatural entity can cover the landscape with lead, has superhuman strength, and can turn people into stone. It would make a great #DnD villain.

Nice to read a folk tale in which the witch is the hero! As far as the snotty, I’m guessing one version of “breathing on” stuff was probably him sneezing on things not unlike a goobbue?
Entirely possible :D
Also, I love witch heroes! More here:
