A gnome is a diminutive spirit in Renaissance magic and alchemy, first introduced by Paracelsus in the 16th century and later adopted by more recent authors including those of modern fantasy literature. Its characteristics have been reinterpreted to suit the needs of various story tellers, but it is typically said to be a small, humanoid creature that lives underground (source of information: Wikipedia).
Gnomes inspire fantastic imagination about dwellings and habitats and survival skills and hence comprise valuable mythology storytelling about the experience of living.
Gnomes (and gnome-like creatures) inspire creative fantasy art and comic book stylized storytelling, and many popular American comic book characters such as Hobgoblin (Marvel Comics) are branched out re-presentations of gnome-creature congruence dominions.
With the release of the television series Lucifer (Fox TV), an adaptation of the Lucifer Morningstar (DC Comics) storylines which are allusions to the Christian Devil (Lucifer or Satan), there is a spotlight on newfound/renewed social interest in the Occult and mythology, and Hollywood (USA) has followed suit with myth-fantasy and pseudo-Occultism films such as "Ouija" [2014] and "Willow" [1988].
Obviously, the illustrious Tolkien-adapted and award-winning fantasy Hollywood (USA) films have also drawn attention to this realm of storytelling as have fantasy-adventure RPGs and video games such as Dungeons and Dragons and The Legend of Zelda. Many of us may have been fans of the cartoon David the Gnome as youngsters.
Gnomes are said to be relatively friendly creatures and hence inspire optimism-storytelling, though some gnomes can exhibit spooky behaviours, inspiring offbeat adventure-storytelling.
Gnomes are separate from elves, goblins, ghouls, gargoyles, and imps, but they are nevertheless similar to their 'relatives' in that they symbolize netherworld and fantasy-realm curiosity.
Such considerations about storytelling and theme media spotlight have created a virtual gnome exposition guild.
