Ele Willoughby, PhD<p>Epiphany is time for my <a href="https://spore.social/tags/linocut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linocut</span></a> of Perchta, also known as Frau Perchta or Berchta (or Bertha in English), a figure from Alpine folklore, who visits during the 12 days of Christmas. Her name may come from “the bright one” or the German word for the feast of the Epiphany and her history is linked to white robbed goddesses like Holda who oversaw spinning and weaving or the goddess Frigg and 🧵</p><p><a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>printmaking</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folklore</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/Perchta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Perchta</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>winter</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/Berchta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Berchta</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/12daysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12daysOfChristmas</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>My supposed true love has been arrested for people trafficking, animal abuse, and harassment. It's a really bad idea to send someone 184 birds in less than two weeks. And it's not legal to give people as gifts, let alone 180 of them.</p><p>If anyone knows good ways to clean bird poop out of stairs wells, carpets, balconies, and now it seams, a police car. Suggestions are welcome.</p><p>If you are going to give someone you love an excessive numbers of gifts. May I recommend books.</p><p>2/2</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>The building shook and the banshees of hell screamed, as 12 drummers drumming, advanced up the stairs to my apartment followed by 11 pipers piping, and 10 leaping lords. By that point the stairwell was full, leaving 9 dancing ladies outside in the cold, along with 8 maids in search of a dairy &amp; 23 bloody birds. This was the point the neighbours finally decided enough is enough. The police have been called. </p><p>1/n</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Yesterday I was woken by what I thought was the emergency alarm. But quickly realised it was something much much worse. How the bag pipes have not been banned by the Geneva convention will never cease to amaze me. The sound of 11 pipers piping in the stair well, along with 10 leaping lords, &amp; 9 dancing ladies was something I did not want to wake to. Fortunately these 30 people meant the 23 birds and 8 maids in search of a dairy were still outside. FFS. Make this stop. Please.</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>I thought after the faff of yesterday. Maybe my so called true love had got the hint. But no... 2300 and the building starts to shake. I open my apartment door to find 10 lords leaping about in the stair well. The shaking wasn't doing the 23 birds any good either. Some startled and flew into the windows. The hint about people as gifts is really not getting through. 9 dancing ladies, and 8 maids in search of some cows were behind the leaping lords, trying to avoid the birds.</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>This has to stop. I like to watch women dancing as much as anyone, but FFS. You can't give people!! Opening my door to find 9 ladies dancing, and another eight maids looking for some cows to milk, as well as 23 birds, and a pear tree, has made for a right faff. What started out as a cute little partridge with a nice fruit tree has descended into people trafficking and partner abuse. The paperwork on yesterday's arrivals alone took over a day. This can't go on. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Ye gods. Not only did I find 23 birds in the hallway outside my door today, but 8 young women offering their services in my dairy. I don't have a dairy or cows. I live in an apartment. But that shouldn't matter. YOU CAN'T GIVE PEOPLE AS A GIFTS! the ridiculous number of birds is one thing, but now it's progressed to people trafficing. What am I supposed to do here? I told them they could go home, I offered them each to take a bird with them. They all declined. This must stop.</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Yikes. Seven swans, all still wet from swimming, and 6 geese in a small hallway only leads to the two groups fighting. Which is incredibly noisy. The 4 calling birds, and the two turtle doves startled, and flew into a window, I think they might be dead. The swans &amp; geese fighting also destroyed the pear tree, the partridge is sitting up above the door and refuses to come down. This is utterly ridiculous, this has gone beyond cute and is now downright abusive. Poor birds. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>What the hell. Have you any idea the noise that six geese make ? Especially in a small Hallway. They seem to be laying too, which is a little out of season. Omelette for dinner. Five more gold rings, which is good. I ebayed 1 from yesterday to buy bird food. Between the noise of the geese, another four calling birds, another three french hens who seem most vocal at the geese, fucking turtle doves, &amp; yet another bloody partridge. This started out cute but it's getting abusive</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>Finally something that isn't a bloody bird. Five gold rings. I really hope they are actually gold and not just gold plated. Unfortunately they came with another four calling birds, three more french hens, two turtle doves, and another partridge in another bloody pear tree. What is it with all these birds?!?! They are making such a row and crapping everywhere. Suppose I can use that to fertilise this pear orchard.</p><p>May have to eBay one of the rings to buy bird food tho... <br><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>Ugh. Woken this morning by a cacophony of birds. Four calling birds were trying their best to out sing another three french hens, and another two fucking turtle doves, literally. Noisy buggers. Another partridge too. This is getting ridiculous. I really need to start looking for recipes. I wonder if my neighbour would like a pear tree, I'm not sure I have space for four.</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/12DaysOfChristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12DaysOfChristmas</span></a></p>

David Castleton (Author)<p>Perchta is a Christmas witch or monster found in Austria and Bavaria. She is active during the 12 nights of Christmas and, especially, on 6th January. She rewards good children, but bad children are cut open with a ploughshare, disembowelled, stuffed with straw then sewn up using a chain as thread. Perchta will also punish anyone who works on household tasks during the Christmas period and anyone who doesn't leave food and drink out for her. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christmas</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Yule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yule</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folklore</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/weird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weird</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/12daysofchristmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>12daysofchristmas</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gothic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gothic</span></a></p>
