Wenn's draußen finster wird: Bräuche und Legenden für die Winterzeit

by Dorothea Steinbacher

Winter is a dark and mysterious time. When it gets colder outside, people move closer together, candles are lit and stories are told. There have always been special customs and legends for the dark season, and those from the mountain regions are particularly impressive and magical. Dorothea Steinbacher is an expert on ancient customs. She tells of these traditions, many of which date back to pre-Christian times and are popular beyond the foothills of the Alps. The rituals give strength and remind us that it is the purifying remaining period in winter that precedes the blossoming of new life in spring.

Sehr erhellend und inspirierend, ohne „esoterische“ Ausschweifungen, stattdessen mit konsequentem Fokus auf das Brauchtum.
