Simona Kossak
Simona Kossak was a Polish biologist, and animal advocate. She was said to have lived in a house in the forest with a lynx that slept in her bed and a pet crow named Korasek that would often terrorize and steal from people. Taking card keys, money, permits, and attacking people walking or riding bikes. Her interactions and care for animals would lead to many of them being loyal friends with her. One such animal was Żabka a rather large female boar Simona had raised since she was a day old, and that walked beside her and guarded her not unlike a dog. Even asking for pets and rubs. She also had a herd or "Pack" of deer that she cared for and would follow her around. She was a staunch advocate of animals and fought to defend the Lynxes and Wolves of Poland's oldest forests. This odd life style led many to call her a witch. Though perhaps in the oldest terms of the word they were not far off, as there is something magical about the way in which she lived.

In French folklore onions are used to predict the weather.
If the onions had especially thick skins then it is said to predict that there will be an especially cold, harsh winter ahead.

The "Barbegazi" (from French "barbe-glacée", "frost-beard") hailing from Alpine folklore is a type of gnome fond of the snowy summits and mountainous terrain.
Hiding in their caves or cottages during summer, they emerge during the winter using their enormous feet as skis to traverse the mountainsides.

Fimbulvetr, which means "great winter," is the prelude to Ragnarök, also known as “The twilight of the gods” which concludes with the great apocalyptic battle of the Norse gods.
This years-long snowfall will end all life on Earth, paving the way for the gods to wage war, and as the dust settles, new life is born marking the dawn of a new age.
Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors… Lif and Lifthrasir.

Nehalennia is the Goddess of the Northsea and the rivers that flow into the Northsea. Therefore Nehalennia is a very important deity in Dutch heathenism/paganism. Nehalennia brings protection, joy and prosperity. Her energy is young and playful altough she is an ancient goddess. This morning i visited Her at the river Nieuwe Maas and made an offering to Her. That reminded me of a video Dirkje made about Nehalennia. In this video Dirkje reads a beautiful poem she wrote for our Goddess of the Northsea and talks about Nehalennia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPO7DLJEpRI
