Description

It’s not just First Friday, it’s Krampus’ Eve! Are you really ready for the holidays? Have you taken precautions against the Yule Cat? Meow! Beloved Krampus is just the beginning of the holiday beast line-up. There are many others that deserve some attention. Get to know Mari Lwyd, a skeleton horse who challenges people in a battle of rhymes. How about the French whipping father, le Pere Fouttard? Locally, we must be on the lookout for a visit from the Belsnickel. Maybe you think your decor is up to snuff for inspection by The Yule Goat? Hope you're ready for the Yule Goat, because there may be a drop-in (via video, for safety, of course). Settle in for a spooky evening as we welcome in-haus diviner and herbalist, Rissa back to the floor of our Dark Gallery for an evening exploring thirteen tales of unmerry monsters. You might recognize her from herb classes, as well as tea leaf & smoke readings, but tonight, she will give insight towards a whole different kind of reading. How do you celebrate the season? Are you ready to meet the unmerry monsters of Christmas? Join us for this darker look at holiday legends and lore, and discover the shady backend of the most wonderful time of the year ~ or as we like to think of it, a Creepy Little Christmas. Tickets will sell out quickly, as we are limited in capacity. Proceeds will benefit Lancaster Farm Sanctuary, a place close to Rissa's heart, where Yule goats, as well as horses, cows, llamas, chickens, pigs, cats, and other beautiful animals find a compassionate forever home. Tickets to this vegan-friendly event include vegan cookies & snacks, a portion of tickets benefiting LFS, spooky entertainment, Smoking Bishops (for 21+) tasting, and creepy holiday fun. Not appropriate for guests under 18 years old.
