  • Here is the start of my “But make it Folk” series, where I create outfits for fantasy characters, reimagined with a dash (or a heap) of folklore. My very first subject is Yennefer of Vengerberg: powerful Sorceress and love interest to the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. Join me as I explain why I chose each little detail for her folklorified look!

    In case you were wondering, the coin is the Russian Empire coin which dates back to the Nicolas II time. The inscription (roughly) says "Copper Russian Coin 3 Kopeiki" (Медная российская монета, три копейки)

    Thift stores in Bavaria always have a section of folk costumes. Which they wildly range in quality.
    Fun fact the first Finnic language to be written was Karelian and it was written in Cyrillic on birch bark in the 12th century.

    I let out a small squeal of delight when you whipped out the jhumka! It looks absolutely beautiful on you!! Also, the flower motif on the earrings are supposed to be lotuses as they're considered sacred to Hindus, owing to iconography associating lotuses with Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity!

    I'm polish, I've read, played and watched anything witcher-related and let me tell you - I had NO IDEA Vengerberg is supposed to be derived from "Węgierska Góra" but it makes sense!

    • @PoisonTheOgres
      @PoisonTheOgres 2 роки тому +6

      It's a cool theory, but the Wengen is also a real mountain (a 'berg') in Switzerland. So Yenn could just as likely be Swiss!

    • @2302camille
      @2302camille 2 роки тому +6

      In one of the books there is a brief description of Yen’s childhood memory and her mother calls her “Janka” and “Janeczka”, which are derivations of a Polish name “Janina”, soooo… could be Hungarian, could be Polish or Swiss, I guess we’ll never know ;)

    • @Celebrinthal
      @Celebrinthal 2 роки тому +5

      It's a wild guess, not anything that's "supposed to be" ;) According to the Witcher wiki, the town's name is derived from one prince Venger whose name it connects with French "venger" - avenge, revenge (I mean, you can see this connection quite clearly in English too: (a)venger). (The wiki calls its source unreliable, but it's hard to tell if they mean a certain detail about Venger or his existence in Sapkowski's universe at all; either way, the word "venger" exists in various forms in more than one language). Taking into account how much the Witcher is inspired by Celtic mythology and Arthurian legends, I find this "Western-European" etymology much more plausible than a random (is there anything Hungarian about Vengerberg anyway?), convoluted play on words. Why do I call it convoluted? Well, you admitted yourself that you had no idea about this connection. Because as a Polish person, "venger" and "węgier" do not sound similar enough to you at all. With all the respect for Anna, it seems like a really long shot.

  • @laurafrancis1393
    @laurafrancis1393 2 роки тому +28

    The outfit is really fabulous! I especially like the bodice on the black dress 🖤
    However, I think the flowers on the earrings are lotus blooms, rather than tulips.

      Perhaps the lotus blossoms are cosplaying tulips.

    This is so so cool, I am from the north of Spain, so we don’t have the same kind of folk coin jewellery you do, although I find it stunning and I’ve wanted some since I went to live in Bulgaria years ago and saw some there (I’m back home now). What we do have and I vividly remember my mum doing when I danced traditional folk dance is aprons and this other piece that rests across the shoulders and crosses over the front of the body (it’s called dengue so idk what you’ll get if you Google it) embroidered with jet beads, they are so so beautiful and very heavy and they chime when the dancers move, sometimes I’ve also seen the head scarves with bead trimming but that’s rarer.
    This has nothing to do with Yen or the Witcher but I am writing some stuff and I really like your videos not only for inspiration about outfits and jewellery for my main character (she’s Romanian raised in the UK) but also for the little tidbits of history garment making you include, like using reeds if you can’t afford whalebone on your stays.

    Love this personal response to the Witcher, so individual and creative! The little peeks of purple lining to the bodice are also very Yennefer;) reminded me of her eyes. the coin necklace was a great nod to the show too. It was thanks to watching your videos I got into the Witcher and now I’m turning into a die-hard geek for it. So looking forward to season 3.
