As kids we were disappointed to receive socks, but in reality we were being protected from the Yule Cat. #yulecat #christmas #lore #christmasmonster #myth www.pagangrimoire.com/yule-cat/

As the days get colder & the nights get longer here in the northern hemisphere, folktales are full of the eerie, the creepy, the supernatural & the slightly sinister Yuletide characters. I have an ongoing collection of linocut prints (and holiday cards!) full of festive characters like the Yule Cat who eats naughty children who are too lazy so they don’t get new clothes at Christmas;

In Iceland the Yule Cat will eat you if you if don't receive any clothes as a gift before Christmas Eve. So why not simply give everyone socks on the 1st Jan and be done with it for the year, as i'm sure the Yule Cat will respect this loophole. You're welcome Iceland, no need to thank me.

Last chance for orders for Christmas - recommend tracked48/24 to get them on time as Royal Mail is rubbish! Orders after Tuesday will arrive in the New Year!

Bonus #ArtAdventCalendar: The first in my series of somewhat darker holiday folklore: my linocut Yule Cat, Jólakötturinn of Iceland, a gigantic monster cat looming over a tiny cabin, with a wreath on the door, in a snowy, nighttime woodland scene.
The first written accounts of Jólakötturinn, enforcer of good behaviour leading up to Christmas, date to the 19th century but the stories of the monster cat likely date 🧵

The Yule Cat lights up the night, ready to prowl!
This illuminated sculpture brings the legend to life. Its glowing red eyes and sharp, illuminated form capture the cat’s fearsome nature while adding a playful, modern twist. Positioned against the dark night, the Yule Cat shines as both a reminder of Iceland’s rich folklore and a festive celebration.

"Kötlum's poem tells the tale of a cat that's 'very large' with glowing eyes. It roams the countryside, going from house to house looking for children who aren't wearing the new clothes they got for Christmas, according to the poem."

Our Icelandic Yule Cat is now up on the tree.
The Yule Cat, known as Jólakötturinn, is a huge and vicious cat who is described as lurking about the snowy countryside during Christmas time and eating people who have not received any new clothes to wear before Christmas Eve.
Make sure you are gifted some new clothes this year to ensure you're not eaten!

Excuse the crummy phone photo, but I was reminded of Iceland's Yule Cat by another post earlier, and since it is #Caturday here's a Christmas decoration of it in Reykjavík from a few years ago. We also bought a book about the Yule Cat as a Christmas gift for our niece.
In the grand tradition of disturbing fairy tales, the Yule Cat is supposed to eat people who do not receive new clothes before Christmas.

The Yule Cat will eat you if you don't get gifted new clothes for Christmas, so make sure you ask for a pair of socks at least! Or a fashionable jumper! https://www.blockforest.co.uk/spooky-linocut-shop/yule-cat
