📖 Who Is the Leprechaun in Irish Folklore?
The Leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán, from Old Irish luchorpán, “small body”) is a solitary fairy known for his shoemaking skills, mischievous nature, and hidden pot of gold. He’s often depicted as a tiny, bearded man wearing a hat and leather apron, hammering away in remote corners of the countryside.
Legends say:
🌈 If you catch a Leprechaun, he may grant three wishes or reveal his treasure — but only if you never look away
🥾 He’s a master cobbler, and the sound of his hammering betrays his presence
💰 His gold is hidden at the end of a rainbow, guarded with clever tricks and riddles
Though modern depictions show him in green, early tales dressed him in red, and he was considered more grumpy than jolly — a true guardian of secrets and wealth.
