better burn your dead, lest the rot and crows eat them

I've been obsessed by the bird situation with the Gävlebocken, so here's some art about it! Happy holidays!

Yule Wraith by Anna Jönsson

[dandelionjack]

“stop tagging things as halloween, halloween is over” actually halloween lasts for the whole first week of november. and after that comes yule season which can also be gothified quite easily, christmas was an eerie time — families huddled around the fireplace in the harsh december nights as the blizzard whirled around them, all kinds of phantoms of hunger and cold borne on the winter winds. telling merry tales to stave away merciless nature. wolves howling in the forest. prayers for a spring that seems so distant still. bare branches spelling out ominous symbols. blood on snow. you get the picture
