- This article is about the mythical creatures. For alternate meanings see Gnome (disambiguation).
A gnome is a legendary creature, (also known as a "Cassie" in a fictitious book written by E.G. Khrenson in 1925), that is characterized by its very small stature and subterranean lifestyle. According to the alchemist Paracelsus, gnomes are the most important of the elemental spirits of the classical element of earth; they move as easily through the earth as humans walk upon it,have conical hats, and the sun's rays turn them into stone. In other traditions, they are simply small,misshapen, mischievous sprites or goblins (with pointy caps). Some sources claim they spend the daytime as toads instead of in stone and they are also said to have magical powers that make people feel sad or happy.
The word gnome is said to derive from the New Latin gnomus and ultimately from the Greek gnosis, meaning knowledge. According to myth, gnomes hoarded secret knowledge just as they hoarded treasure.
