In this week’s episode we gather around the fire and discuss New Year traditions, numerology and prophecies written in the stars. In the free section of the show we review some of the stranger happenings of 2024 which may continue to develop into revelations in 2025, specifically in the domain of advanced propulsion, alien life and secret government technology. We also do a fun breakdown of numerology, how to calculate your life path number and what to expect during the Chinese New Year of the Wooden Snake. In the extended version of the show we let Heka Astra off the leash to explain at depth the various planetary and zodiacal alignments which promise to turn 2025 into a historic year to be remembered for the rest of our lives. Some big high-lights include spooky Pluto moving into Aquarius, jovial Jupiter dipping his toes into Cancer and what biblical sized shockwave is coming when Saturn and Neptune get busy at one degree of Aries. It gets pretty esoteric and astrology heavy in the second half but we make sure to pause and point out what it all means, some historical precedence for what it meant in the past and why we should all get a large bucket of popcorn ready because already the lights have begun to dim, thank you and enjoy the show...

In this week’s episode we explore the dark side of Christmas folklore, delving into mythological figures like Krampus, Frau Perchta (the belly-slitting hag), and the musically inclined specters, the Night Folk. In the free show we uncover the pickled children of ol’ St. Nicholas and the danger of accepting coal from salacious wood nymphs with fox tails. In the extended show we go further down the rabbit hole to discuss the one-eyed dog Turst (not to be confused with Fred Durst), the kid bonking Belsnickle, the nasty Necht Ruprecht and the fearsome denizens of the Wild Hunt led by Odin’s eight legged reindeer Sleipnir. Thank you and enjoy the show!

In this week’s episode we discuss:

• St. Nicholas and the legend of the butchered children.
• Krampus: origins and traditions (Krampusnacht and Krampuslauf)
• Frau Perchta: origins and depictions ("Belly Slitter").
• The Night Folk: descriptions, music, dangers, and avoidance strategies.
• Turst: description (pig/dog hybrid), association with storms and goblins, and the Wetterkreuze.

In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go much further down the chimney to discuss:

  Knecht Ruprecht
