In Soulful Memory of Who We Were—Before Jobs and Cars Replaced Treeshade and Fit Limbs

The YouTube channel, @folkloricflickers, is where these tales first flicker to life—moving images shaped with painterly care. Each video is a visual version of the stories I share here for quiet reading and listening.

Below, you’ll find the growing playlist: Tarnished Kettle Tales.   👉 Watch on YouTube

These are folkloric narratives for grown-ups—layered, emotionally stylized, and inspired by antiquated myths and classic authors. Each tale carries a twist that resonates with the longings of our current generations.

From the heartfelt to the gently humorous, these scenes build colorful mini-movies from humanity’s forgotten concerns—those tender truths still echoing beneath our modern noise. Many of these tales reflect the quiet mercy Kindred Rye defends: a mercy for the weary, the innocent at heart, the overlooked, and the sensitive imperfects.

Kindred Rye offers not escape, but return—to the parts of us the world forgot to love.
