The sjoufert is a fiery ghost in Flemish folklore who often appears near swamps. In one tale, people who lived near a swamp whistled at him. They fled into their house as the very angry ghost flew behind them. He left four paw prints on their door that never disappeared.

In Lapland mythology, the aurora borealis is said to be created when the Arctic fox’s tail sweeps shimmering snowflakes into the moonlight as it gallops across the snow-covered mountains.

I remember a former work colleague musing “I’m really getting into sleeping” around this time of year. I’m not a heavy sleeper usually, but dragging myself out of dreamland at the moment seems to take a monumental effort

They are known as Witte Wieven in the northwest, white women, wise women, spoken, spirits, or Feeën, fairies, who can say?
We meet one in Gelderland in our 4th #yulefolklore tale. She keeps an eternal vigil there. With a friend.
