Podcasts about frau perchta

Here is the re-released Frau Perchta and Gryla episode from December 2019. Both figures are part of the folklore of winter hags or "Christmas witches", who often represent the dangers of being unprepared for the winter season. 

Paranormal researcher Alex Matsuo joined guest host Rich Berra (email) to explore the darker side of Christmas traditions. For centuries, societies, particularly in pagan traditions, believed that the veil between the living and the spirit world was thinner during this time, with figures like Odin leading the Wild Hunt to collect souls, she explained. This belief in wandering spirits and darker forces inspired tales and traditions, which were later blended into festive storytelling, most notably by Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol. This juxtaposition of joy and darkness is characteristic of the season, she added.Matsuo shared how personal experiences shaped her exploration of Christmas's darker lore. Following the loss of close family members and grappling with personal grief, she found solace in delving into the macabre aspects of Christmas traditions. She highlighted figures like Krampus and Frau Perchta, who imposed moral lessons through fear, as well as the evolution of these traditions into more playful modern interpretations. This historical curiosity also revealed how pre-Christian practices were often absorbed into Christian festivities, she noted.Matsuo traced the origins of various Christmas figures and their traditions from around the world, emphasizing the Scandinavian roots of many customs. For example, she examined Krampus's role as Saint Nicholas's enforcer, punishing naughty children, and Finland's Joulupukki, a goat-like figure evolved from darker mythological roots into a gift-giving entity akin to Santa Claus. The cultural importance of leaving offerings for these figures is a recurring theme, symbolizing respect and gratitude to mythical guardians, she pointed out.------------------------------------------During the latter half of the program, bestselling author William Forstchen touched on drone sightings in the U.S., and the potential dangers of solar flares and EMPs. He expressed frustration with the bureaucracy's sluggishness in addressing aerial threats, likening it to the inefficiencies of the Department of Motor Vehicles. He noted that clear, decisive action, such as shooting down unverified objects, could provide answers and alleviate public concern. Forstchen critiqued the federal government's response to incidents like the Chinese spy balloon, which traversed the U.S. largely unchallenged.Shifting to EMPs, Forstchen elaborated on the catastrophic consequences of such an event, detailing how it could cripple electrical grids and lead to societal collapse. He explained the mechanics of EMPs and highlighted the vulnerabilities in the U.S. infrastructure, citing outdated components and a lack of preparedness. Using fictional storytelling, such as his book One Second After, he illustrates the devastating effects on water supply, food distribution, and public order.Forstchen also expressed his optimism for private enterprise revolutionizing space exploration and addressing technological gaps. He affirmed that humans landed on the moon, dismissing conspiracy theories as implausible due to the sheer number of people required to sustain such a hoax. Reflecting on the International Space Station (ISS), he discussed the challenges faced by astronauts, particularly those stranded due to unforeseen circumstances, emphasizing the physical toll of prolonged weightlessness. He highlighted the need for robust planning and innovation to tackle both terrestrial and extraterrestrial challenges.Guests

Merry Christmas, all you naughty boys & girls! This week, it's a little ho-ho-horror for the holidays with a double feature of Christmas creatures!Felicia unwraps the first present with the legend of Sinterklaas, or Sint-Nicolaas - a mythical figure based on the patron saint of children, Saint Nicholas. If it wasn't obvious, Sinterklaas is one of the sources for the classic Santa Claus mythology and has mainly been celebrated in the Netherlands as far back as the early 19th century. Felicia actually has some of her own personal experience with the story from attending the Sinterklaas Festival Day in Rhinebeck, NY. Though things turn sinister as she explores some of the more offensive origins of the figure and festival. Next, Lauren stuffs your stocking with another Christmas icon - Frau Perchta aka the Christmas witch! This 10th century German winter goddess has a beaked nose made of iron and stalks humans to make sure they have completed their spinning of flax and/or other domestic chores by Twelfth Night. And you thought your family's holiday traditions were boring! Other versions of the legend even feature an army of lost souls, including the Krampus-like demonic-looking Perchten. Her story may sound similar to other dark Christmas mythologies - after all, she knows who has been bad or good…but her way of dealing with naughty people is much more vicious than a lump of coal. Deck the halls with disembowelment!Listen to hear more about both of these Christmas creatures and how they tie-into our modern mythology. PS: As always, thank you for listening and supporting our show throughout 2023. Have a safe & scary New Year's evil and we'll see you with lots more sinister stories in 2024! 

Welcome back to the final installment of this month's series: "The Colourful Characters of Christmas!" It has been incredibly fun exploring all the different beliefs and tradition that make this holiday season so special, but there is one figure who we have yet to touch on, and she is possibly the most terrifying of them all. Her name is Frau Perchta, a christmas witch found in Alpine folklore, who wanders the villages with a pair of oversized scissors, ready  to cut open the bellys of ill-behaved children. I hope you all enjoy this final episode, as well as a sneak peek at the latest patreon one! Please, have a great time this season, and I'll see you all in the new year!

Ho-Ho-Hold on to your stockings, folks! This week on Parababble, we're unwrapping a side of Christmas that's far from holly jolly. We're diving headfirst into the dark and gruesome underbelly of festive folklore, where naughty kids aren't just getting coal... they might be getting cooked in a stew! Forget sugar plum fairies and reindeer games, we're talking about Grýla, the Icelandic troll who feasts on disobedient children, and Frau Perchta, who disembowels the lazy and fills their stomachs with garbage. It's a yuletide yarn spun with nightmares and goosebumps, but fear not! We'll be doing our best to keep things light, even when discussing the gruesome details. So, grab your eggnog and spiked cocoa, because this holiday season, we're about to turn the "merry" in Christmas into "merry macrabe." Join us for an episode that's guaranteed to leave you both horrified and strangely entertained. It's Parababble, and this time, we're serving up your holiday with a side of monsters and murder.

Just in time for Santa Lucia's Day (13 December) we look at Lussi, the sorceress who rides with her ghoulish brood at the Solstice, bringing destruction to homes unprepared for the coming winter, carrying off naughty children, and those who mistreated their animals during the year. Lussi leads a version of the brood known as the Wild Hunt, and bears a lot of similarity to other European winter hags like Frau Holle and Frau Perchta.

We made it to the Christmas season and you know what that means! It's time for Holiday themed cryptid stories. This week I'd like to tell you the story of a Christmas Witch named Frau Perchta. She has been known to the locals of Germany and Austria for the past few centuries. Her M.O. is traveling around during the 12 days of Christmas, looking to wreak havoc on those she deems deserving. Take a listen to this week's episode to get into the holiday spirit, but also to learn how to avoid a run in with this witch. 

To get all you creeps into the Christmas Spirit we have a Yule Tide urban legend for you. This year you better make sure your house is clean and your wool is spun or else the horrifying Christmas witch Frau Perchta will be darkening your doorstep!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

So, we invited one of our favorite authors that you've heard us fanboy over countless times in countless episodes... the one, the only - JOSHUA CUTCHIN to come hang out with us for a couple of hours and explore the strange mythology and mysteries that surround St. Nicholas. Even if you think you're partially familiar with the lore that surrounds Jolly ole St. Nick...we can promise you that the amount of topics that we discuss, and their incredible interconnections will be the Christmas treat you've been hoping for.  Here are just some of the things we discuss in this episode: The Mysteries and Myths of St. Nicholas, The "wild man" archetype, Frau Perchta, The Wild Hunt, Odin, Belsnickel, Knect Ruprecht, Sam the Sandown Clown, The Harlequin, altered states of consciousness, the doppelgänger phenomenon, men in black, tulpas, Krampus, obscure cryptids, obscure video games, and so much more. You've heard us bring up Joshua Cutchin and Timothy Renner's book: Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, but In this episode we also go over his newest release: Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal - Vols.
