better burn your dead, lest the rot and crows eat them
I've been obsessed by the bird situation with the Gävlebocken, so here's some art about it! Happy holidays!

🖤🤍💀❄️ JULGHOST 🤍💀❄️ 🖤
My biggest tribute art for Papa Copia so far.
I was inspired by old master painter Viktor Vasnetsov, the scandinavian Julgoat, the mythological Wild Hunt and of course Copia's bewitching fashion sense.
[ Painted in Pocreate. Color edited in Photoshop. ]

Here’s yet another creature to add to your roster of dark Christmas characters: the Yule Goat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Yule Goat was a Nordic tradition where a guy dressed as a goat would barge into people’s houses during the Christmas feast and be as unpleasant as possible. Sometimes he’d just make a lot of noise, sometimes he’d tell raunchy stories with a lot of faul language, but he’d also tell unpleasant truths about the people in the house.

To make him stop people had to give him food or other treats and it was believed he’d take all the bad things with him when he left the house so people could enter the new year free of last year’s burdens, almost as a sort of scapegoat except he WANTED your sins/food.
Today the only Yule Goats you’re likely to see are ones made of straw.

Wintertale Advent Calendar Day 17: A strange goat and its riders.
They offer you a ride but you decline after seeing how fast they had flown across the snowfields.
