She's the author of The Old Magic of Christmas.
Now, she says that Frau Perchta was also known as Berchta, like the original legend says, or Bertha.
And she can also be referred to as spinstubenfrau or spinning room lady.
I see the transition there.
In this one, she's often depicted having a beak nose that is made of iron.
Which sounds kind of like a plague mask, like a plague doctor mask.
Yeah, that's what I pictured.
And she's dressed in like super shitty, like ragged clothes.
And she's usually carrying like a cane or a staff.
And she just looks like a decrepit old lady in this one with a fucking beak nose.
Now in this one, she's a judgy bitch.
She's going to look at your house and she's going to tell you whether it's shit.
And she doesn't have the right to because she's dressed in rags and has a beak nose.
Seriously, take a long hard look in the mirror.
