Christmas Folklore: Krampus, Frau Perchta, and Iceland's Yule Lads

This week on Mythic Existence, host Jack Daly spices up the winter with a holiday-inspired episode. Instead of focusing on the holly and jolly, we dive into some of the darker aspects of Christmas folklore by talking about Krampus, Frau Perchta, and the Icelandic Yule Lads. These tricksy, and sometimes sinister figures remind us that if we're not good, we might be beaten with a stick, disemboweled, or possibly boiled to death. So keep that In mind next time you're trying to decide whether or not to dip your hand into the metaphorical cookie jar.
