>A complex form of divination in Swedish folk tradition... The tradition of year walking is predominantly recorded from Southern Sweden, and was usually practised at Christmas or New Year’s Eve. Different regions of Sweden give contrasting explanations for how this was accomplished. From Småland and Blekinge, the year walker was supposed to lock himself up in a dark room, without speaking to anyone nor taste food or drink. At midnight, he (or she) walked to the parish church – or a cluster of different churches – and circled it three times (or more), then he (or she) blew into the church’s key hole. With this the year walker temporarily lost his (or her) Christianity. When this happened, supernatural beings appeared and challenged the year walker. If the walker managed these tests, glimpses of the future could appear; either in vision or by sounds. These could be interpreted as glimpses of what would happen the following year.

>If someone (in a regular manner) had gone Year Walking for seven years and on the last night, met a mounted man, who had a 'runkavle' in the mouth, and if the Year Walker was then brave enough and strong enough to snatch this, he or she became known as "wise". That is, he/she had gained knowledge of all hidden things and could see into the future, without ever again having to do a Year Walk.

I remember reading about this on /x/ last year but didn't have the chance to try it. Mite b fun, even if nothing happens.

Much obliged.

This thread is pretty empty. What about creepy personal experiences that happened around the holidays, anybody have any stories like that?

Yo. Same director as 'Trick r' Treat'; props by the same guy who did the scarecrows in 'Mr. Jones'. I have nothing but expectation for this film.

Many villains have tried to steal Christmas or Santa, or both, but this guy actually tried to EAT him.

Leaving out milk and cookies for Oogie Boogie this Christmas.

Does anybody plan on seeing Krampus? Looks like a good one from the trailers I've seen.

>Oogie Boogie gorges on cookies
>too full to eat a big ol' fat man like Santa

BRILLIANT.

I wasn't really planning on seeing it in theaters, just wait for a rip somewhere. But now that I know it's being done by the same guy that did Trick-r-Treat (one of my fav's) I'll probably see it, yeah.

Just got back from seeing it. Can confirm it's good without taking itself too seriously.
