Manage episode 311576384 series 2929431
Our Christmas and holiday traditions are steeped in centuries-old traditions and folktales that date back to the pagan era. In this episode, I will retell and discuss 11 different witches, , grandmothers, trickster boys and old me, and goddesses from mythology that all relate to the winter solstice and winter holiday traditions.
Here is who I will be talking about in brief (you can use the chapter markers to jump to the one you really want to hear).
Greek Mythology - Chione
Norse Mythology - Skadi
Roman Mythology - Strenua
Bafana from Italy
Gryla (and her Yule Lads and Yule Cat) from Scandinavia
Olentzero from the Basque country
Perchta from Bavaria - and the surrounding areas
Nikolaus from Greece
The Gray Mare from Wales
Krampus from Austro-Bavaria - the anti-Santa Claus
