As you may know, behind Aeternum is a small business based in Brittany (in the south of Finistère to be precise). And it is well known that this region lives to the rhythm of legends, myths, and magical practices more or less known (Brocéliande, Merlin, the Fairy Viviane, the Alignments, and many others). So, to highlight our beautiful region, we will regularly publish little-known legends from Breton history.
This week, we travel to an unspecified place for a rather original story. We know that the Korrigans love to play tricks on humans. But they can also reward kindness.
One day, a poor peasant welcomes an old woman with a face marked by fatigue. He offers her soup and a cloth to keep warm. In reality, this woman is the queen of the Korrigans, who decides to reward him by inviting him to an underground feast. She offers him riches, on the condition that he leaves before the rooster crows.
Alas, caught up in the celebration, the peasant loses track of time and when he finally leaves, his sacks, once filled with gold, contain only ashes. Saddened by his fate, the queen of the Korrigans nevertheless gifts him a magical dish that fills itself with food at will, ensuring he will never go hungry again...
