Merry Christmas! Today, we slip into the icy shadows of Alpine legend to uncover the true story of the winter goddess, Frau Perchta. Long before she was painted as a terrifying, belly-slitting crone, Perchta was a revered figure of winter’s balance—a guardian of hard work, rest, and the turning of the year.
