Show Notes
In this week’s episode, the Mystics unwrap the weirdest side of the holidays, digging into Christmas 🎄 traditions that are less ✨ silent night ✨ and more “please don’t come to my house 😱 Straight from The Scary Book of Christmas Lore by Tim Rayborn, we explore festive customs from around the world that are creepy AF... but somehow still jolly 🎅🏻 Meet the Mari Lwyd 🐴 a skull-faced horse that shows up uninvited and demands entry, dive into the chaotic energy of Mummers roaming the streets in disguise 👺 and chat about La Befana. A witchy grandmother who delivers gifts (or judgment) on her broomstick. Speaking of brooms, we also get into the age-old tradition of hiding them so witches can’t collect them and take to the skies on Christmas Eve 🧹 It’s spooky, it’s historical, and it’s delivered with plenty of laughs, side commentary, and mild concern for everyone involved 🥴 So grab your cocoa, lock your doors (just in case), and join us as we prove once again that Christmas has always been a little… unhinged. 🎄👻
