Japanese, Chinese and Korean folklore also have a Wild Hunt - 百鬼夜行 (pronounced ‘hyakki yagyo’, ‘ bai gui ye xing’ and ‘baeggwiyahaeng’ respectively). This phrase is identical in appearance with Japanese kanji and Korean hanja with the Chinese script. It literally means ‘hundred demons wandering in the night’, and was a procession of demons and monsters wandering through the towns, killing everything they can find. Now the phrase also means ‘veritable pandemonium’ or ‘scandalous scene’.

As a German, who grew up with Frau Holle and many more Grimm fairytales, this is hilarious to me. I primarily know the wild hunt from the Witcher and other media, but I just realized that I never questioned why the concept appeared familiar.

Yep... Totally Odin's fault

The boot of gold and Christmastime connection reminds me of an old story about St. Nicholas. Apparently, back when he was a bishop instead of a jolly fat man living at the north pole, he saved a tradesmen's daughter from hardship by anonymously throwing a bag of gold through her window. The bag landed in a freshly-washed stocking that had been drying over the fire, which is why we hang stockings on the fireplace at Christmas.

@artcase8936

2 жыл бұрын

The version I heard was that it was three daughters and therefore three bags of gold. The hardship was also more precise, as the tradesman couldn't afford to get his daughters married or support them he was at least considering selling them into slavery. St. Nicholas was also one of the Bishops who attended the Nicene council. While he was there he slapped Arius across the face.

I will visit a museum about them soon to find out more. But you know what?

In some versions, Herla and similar beings (like Herne the Hunter) have antlers, similar to Cernunnos, who is also believed to be an influence. Yet, these folkloric figures as we know them today only really started popping up after the Christianization of Britain, long after the Norse and Germanic invasions/migrations (which also occurred in France). So to rule out Odin from being an influence is a bit hasty. The most likely answer is that Odin, Cernunnos, along with other mythological beings and possibly some historical individuals all played a part in the shaping of Harlequin and other folkloric individuals of similar nature.

FRAU HOLLE'S STORY IS THE TALKING EGGS! Ok so The Talking Eggs is basically a Southern-Black Cinderella. A girl named Blanche lives with her sister, Rose, and her mother. Rose and the mother love to sit around and make Blanche do all the work, and one day in the middle of summer Blanche is sent to the well for some water. Blanche gets the water and gives it to an old woman. When Blanche gets home, the water is all warm and her mother and sister throw her out. The old woman invites Blanche back to her home and tells her not to laugh at anything she sees. Blanche sees crazy shit like axes fighting in midair, a two-headed cow with corkscrew horns, and technicolor chickens; some chickens have more than two feet, others have just one. SO. The woman gives Blanche chores to do and Blanche does them. She grinds up a single grain of rice and they wind up with a bunch of food, things like that. The woman also takes off her head to comb her hair. That evening, they watch a bunch of rabbits come out and dance. The next morning Blanche is sent to the coop to gather eggs, with instructions to only gather the plain ones, and to leave the gold/silver/jeweled eggs. On her way home she's to throw the eggs over her shoulder. When she does she gets a carriage, nice clothes, and money. When Rose goes to the woman's house, she mocks the woman, laughs at what she sees, plays keepaway with the woman's head, and takes the fancy eggs. When she tosses them over her shoulder, wolves, vermin, and bees come out of the eggs. Blanche takes her new fortune to the city and lives happily ever after.

There's still a tradition of probably pagan origins here where I live. Where people use various horns of animals as horns to make noise, like a procession/ hunt to scare away evil spirits. Same like "Perchten"(plural), which are people dressed in full wooden masks, quite heavy usually, wearing full fur suits, having 2-4 giant cowbells tied around their waist to scare away evil spirits aswell. The twelve days of Christmas are called "Raunächte" here :) The main difference is that the first group is usually made up of young people, feel more like a procession, and it originated as far as I know from our Slavic neighbors. And the other one is a bit more wild like s hunt. The culture is quite intertwined with our neighbors here in Austria.

@@pirateking56128 That's exactly the same question I've been asking myself for years now. My personal theory is that it relieved women from some of their duties during the holidays to give them a little freetime, but other than that I have no qualified answer.

Holding on to hope that you eventually do The Phantom Of the opera as a Halloween episode.

I am a simple swiss girl. I didn't realize that in the one story about the two girls you said 'Frau Holle' until you started the story and i was like..."Ouuu! I know that one!" Props for the pronunciation of Holle's name by the way. You did a great job and i love your Videos!

Urban-legend version: Rather than being a band of invisible hunters chasing prey through the night, it's an invisible biker gang!

The biker gang is on a poker run, snagging booze and wenches on their ride through the sky, sometimes dropping platinum poker chips.

Odin is Toby!

The remark "must have been the wind" takes on a grander meaning. Quite a testament to humankind where everyone throughout history gets spooked by the freaking wind.

It’s just Odin and the boys out on a hunting trip.

The Old Gods coming by and collecting the souls that God and Big J don't want, and taking those souls to their respective afterlives? Sounds pretty sweet to me.

I think it’s bc the Norse gods had some sort of fated end. With Christianity, you’re fated to a peaceful afterlife until the end of time.

Where do you think the concept of SCPs came from?

Horror stories that are awesome and that Red could cover are: the Invisible Man, Phantom of the Opera and Sleepy Hollow. PUR had mentioned that the latter is, in one of his former reincarnations, a demonic fairy that uses a whip made out of human spines and I am here for it

As a German the part where Frau Holle comes into the story is still so *wild* to me. No pun intended

Germany: A screaming torrent of tortured souls. Hawaii: An army of spirit warriors marching across the island. New England: one headless boi with a pumpkin.
