Creepy Christmas Krampus Postcards, a Witchy Wednesday article.

 

Krampus Cards!

The history of Krampus postcards, or Krampuskarten, began in the late 19th century in Germany and Austria. These cards were a way to remind people to behave well during the holidays, as Krampus was said to punish children who were naughty. The cards often featured Krampus looming over children, sometimes with humorous poems or rhymes.

(Greetings from Krampus)

Here are some fabulous Krampus Postcards sourced from Pinterest.

Please be advised these are historic depictions of a folklore character! Some are quite disturbing but also really cool and interesting. 

It might be advisable not to show little ones or those who have been particularly naughty!😉

Please note I do not get paid to mention any links. The study of folklore and folk customs is a hobby of mine and when I find interesting information I like to share it here in my blog which is my electronic scrapbook. 

I am not a professional writer or an expert but I hope you enjoy my natterings and my blog inspires you to explore and learn more about folklore.  

Some website links listed may contain Adult material which may not be suitable for children so I would advise visiting them before showing or allowing access to younger viewers.
