Ep 39 | Fun Times with Frau Perchta
Kimmy Hammons  •  Aloreing Podcast Episode • 1/11/2023

Hey Campers, though the holiday season is over, we have one more holiday figure we’d like to tell you all about. This week we will be discussing the lore and history to one of the most iconic female holiday figures, Frau Perchta! Both Kimmy and Ryan will discuss how being lazy can result in an unconventional stomach transplant, the connection of witchy punishment to the medieval workforce, and Frau Perchta’s entourage being misidentified as Krampus. We hope you enjoy this episode of Aloreing, and remember campers act your wage or you’re gonna get your belly slit open and invite Frau Perchta to a party and just see what happens *wink wink*.
