Perchta "The upholder of traditions, she slashes from belly to chest, taking the soul as a prize, and replace the corpse' innards with sticks and stones." Frau Perchta, The Christmas Witch. "Frau Perchta travels from town to town on the first 12 days of Christmas, checking on people and children if they behaved and worked hard all year. Those who are diligent received bountiful blessings. Those who did not, especially children, are slaughtered, opened from their belly to their chest. The souls she kept, as a reminder to uphold tradition." Grandma Frau "She travels by day, bringing sweets and bounties to people. If you did not receive youre sweets, you have till midnight to run and hide, as Perchta shall hunt you under the moon."

This #3FatesFactsFriday is brought to you by 🦊. My favorite holiday myth is that of the Yule Cat. The Yule Cat is a lesser-known myth, so I figured it would be a fun one to share as my fact for today. 😄 🐈🐈🐈 Have you guys heard of the myth before? Or a different version? Let us know! I love this myth and wanna know if you guys do too! #christmas #yule #paranormal #witchcraft #holidayseason #holidaymyths #yulecat #theyulecat #jólakötturinn #crptids #mythology #myth #cats #catsofinstagram #largecats #tistheseason #happyhollidays #winter https://www.instagram.com/p/CJPBi_KBwUi/?igshid=1ovb8qq7j7sss
