Witchy Wednesday! Happy Krampusnacht!

Happy Krampusnacht!

👹❄️👹❄️👹❄️👹❄️👹❄️👹

Welcome to another Witchy Wednesday and this weeks little article is about Krampus!

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Krampus is often depicted as a half-goat, half-human figure and is from Central and Eastern Alpine folklore. This malevolent folklore creature punishes children who have misbehaved often beating them with birch sticks! But if they had been particularly naughty they would be whisked away in a basket or sack and taken to the firey pits of Hell!

👹🔥👹🔥👹🔥👹🔥👹🔥

Krampus accompanying Saint Nicholas on the night of December 5th, known as Krampusnacht ("Krampus Night"), to deliver gifts to well-behaved children and birch rods to those who misbehave!

🌿Information about my blog🍂

Hi, welcome to witchkraftingwithkat my online scrapbook on all things witchy, spooky and magical. Here on my blog I like to share tales of folklore and the history of Witches and creatures through articles, interesting links, artwork, crafts and my own creations including tutorials! Many of images used here on my blog are my own photography and artwork, but I also like to share images sourced from many places including books, images from libraries, historical websites, online image providers such pinterest. I do try to credit all images where possible to the artist who created them both past and present. Sometimes this information is not available. I therefore recommend, for copying reasons, if you do download any images from my blog you use them only for personal use. Some website links listed may contain material not be suitable for children so I would advise visiting them before showing or allowing access to children. Due to nature of the subject some articles may contain words and beliefs that are out of date by todays standards. These attitudes and beliefs are not necessarily my own. As with all historical data it should be treated in the context of it's time. I do not get any financial gain from any content published on my blog. I do this blog as a hobby which I like to share and I hope you will also enjoy😊 Thank you Kat Hazelton. 🌿🍂🌿🍂🌿🍂🌿🍂🌿🍂🌿🍂🌿
