Krátky popis
As winter comes and the hours of darkness overtake the light, we
seek out warmth, good food, and good company. But beneath the
jollity and bright enchantment of the festive season, there lurks a
darker mood - one that has found expression over the centuries in a
host of strange and unsettling traditions and lore. Here, Sarah
Clegg takes us on a journey through midwinter to explore the
lesser-known Christmas traditions, from English mummers plays and
Austrian Krampus runs, to modern pagan rituals at Stonehenge and
the night in Finland when a young girl is crowned with candles as
St Lucy - a martyred Christian girl who also appears as a witch
leading a procession of the dead.At wassails and hoodenings and
winter gatherings, attended by ghastly, grinning horses, snatching
monsters and mysterious visitors, we discover how these traditions
originated and how they changed through the centuries, and we ask
ourselves: if we can't keep the darkness entirely at bay, might it
be fun to let a little in?
