	Fakelore - Biocrawler
		Fakelore is inauthentic, manufactured folklore which is created in the hope that it will be accepted as genuine and/or legitimate.
		Urban myths are sometimes called fakelore, though the 'fake' is here taken as a reference to the unreality of the events described and not to an intent to fabricate.
		Neopagan fakelore attributes these colours either to 'blood on the snow' or to an alleged shamanic practice in which reindeer would be skinned and their hide worn inside out, thus creating a red garment with white fringes.

	Fakelore - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Fakelore is inauthentic, manufactured folklore presented as if it were genuinely traditional.
		Unlike fakelore, however, folklorism is not necessarily misleading; it includes any use of a tradition outside the cultural context in which it was created.
		The term fakelore is often used by those who seek to expose or debunk it, including Dorson himself, who spoke of a "battle against fakelore".

	Science Fair Projects - Fakelore
		Neopaganism is prone to fakelore, though in fairness it is often accepted without question and passed on in good faith rather than being used with intent to deceive.
		The fakelore tends to be a spurious addition to the original myths, a distorted rendition of history (especially where pagan traditions are alleged to have been replaced by Christian ones) or occasionally both.
		The fakelore account sometimes includes a comment that blames repression (inevitably Christian) for keeping the 'true' facts hidden, which suggests that the fakelore is potent and dangerous, as it would not have been concealed otherwise.

		Washington is said to have cut down a cherry tree, then admitted to the act, stating, "I cannot tell a lie." This is still taught in many American schools despite long consensus amongst historians that the tale is fakelore meant to instill patriotism and good behaviour in children.
		The majority of the Christian fakelore regarding Easter erroneously associates the holiday with the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, based on a superficial similarity between her name and the holiday's.
		This fakelore claims that Easter was chosen in spring to coincide with a pagan fertility celebration and attributes all Easter customs to that celebration.

		However, the artists and storytellers who transmit the fakelore motifs may not be aware of their dubious origins.
		Some fakelore may serve to advance the interests and self-consciousness of various groups.

		Fakelore serves those poetic truths that give meaning and purpose to religion even if it does not serve the academic search for factual truth.
		Fakelore and folklore guide our practice and our belief systems along with historical fact and the implications drawn from archeological and anthropological research.
		Perhaps the challenge is to evaluate fakelore, when it is recognized as such, in terms of whether it serves a higher spiritual purpose or is merely self-serving.

	Fakelore
		During the 19th century there was a considerable amount of fakeloric poetry and music produced by the circle of Tomasz Padura (or Padurra), a Ukrainian nationalist poet of Polish descent.
		Padura collaborated with Rzewucki, Komarnicki and others on a large number of original songs (usually with torban accompaniment) in more or less genuine folk style, but with lyrics designed to further their nationalist agenda.
		During the Soviet Era there was a concerted effort to substitute genuine folklore that was often nationalistic and religious with manufactured fakelore that was designed to reflect upbeat "proletarian progressiveness", at the expense of the genuine material that was seen as morose.

		Folklorists have been complaining for generations about what Dorson (1950; 1976) bluntly called "fakelore": the representation of materials written by professional authors as reproductions of the oral traditions of historical and ethnic communities.
		Some fakelore is total fabrication, utterly unconnected to any actual folklore source-the Paul Bunyan stories found in schoolbooks were never told by lumberjacks, Pecos Bill was not a cowboy hero, and all those cutesy "Indian" origin legends were created by nineteenth and twentieth-century romantics.
		Most nineteenth-century fakelore was based on the romantic hope of rediscovering the roots of humanity among people untainted by civilization.

	Neopaganism - Article about Neopaganism
		However, many reconstructionist sects like those who practice Theodism or Gaelic Traditionalism do indeed take a dogmatic religious approach, and only recognize certain historical texts and sources as being relevant to their belief system, intentionally eschewing "foreignisms", and having a general disdain for the eclectic mentality that is prevalent amongst most Neopagans.
		Some critics claim that Neopagans cannot legitimately be considered practitioners of any "true" Pagan religion, citing that in the history of ideas it is understood that revivals are not identical to their models: e.g., Roman sculpture compared to the neoclassicism of, for example, Antonio Canova.
		They are not disheartened when the evidence suggests that their beliefs have been founded on a misreading of history or upon fakelore, and instead contend that any goddess who is worshipped is 'real', whether she previously existed in history or not *.

		Most of the buyers appear to be tourists, who will take the fakelore back to their own countries, where it will pollute markets further afield.

		The usual recourse is to cite the local legend that ascribes the name to a love story between a beautiful princess and a vanquished warrior.
		It is possible then that the Kagayhaan fakelore came about as a way of promoting the supremacy of the Spanish colonial masters, much in the same way the moro-moro used mental conditioning to prejudice the Christian population against the Moro people.
		That is one reason why the ascription of folk etymologies to place names or toponyms is at most times inaccurate and clearly devoid of historical basis, besides being sources of amusement, comedy, and ethnic inequality and social marginalization.

	A. L. Lloyd and Reynardine: authenticity and authorship in the afterlife of a British broadside ballad Folklore - Find ...
		The paper goes on to suggest reasons why Lloyd might have authored the ballad, and reasons why he might have concealed that authorship, placing its evidence and observations in the context of folkloristic concerns about authenticity and authorship, folklore and fakelore.
		Yet, "authentic" in folklore has usually meant the opposite: that which is made by no discernable hand, imbued with no individual's authority, because it has been re-made by the forces of impersonal tradition (Bendix 1997, 15).
		While "authentic" and "author" share an etymological root, authorial practices are usually taken to produce inauthentic folklore; Richard Dorson famously coined the word "fakelore" for materials created by authors and passed off as products of folk tradition (Dorson 1969).
