Wenn's draussen finster wird

The Magic of Old Traditions Winter is a dark and mysterious time. As the weather grows colder, people come together, candles are lit, and stories are shared. For ages, there have been unique customs and legends for this dark season, and those from the mountainous regions are particularly impressive and enchanting. Dorothea Steinbacher is an expert in ancient traditions. She shares these customs, many of which date back to pre-Christian times and are popular beyond the foothills. The rituals provide strength and serve as a reminder that it is the purifying quiet time of winter that precedes the blossoming of new life in spring.
