Krampus is commonly referred to as the "darker" sidekick of Santa Claus because he essentially represents the polar opposite of St. Nicholas. In German folklore, Krampus is represented as a sort of Christmas devil complete with horns and cloven hooves. As one of the Companions of St. Nicholas, Krampus wanders the streets in chains and bells punishing children who have misbehaved. Krampus Night or Krampusnacht occurs on December 5th (the eve of the feast of St Nicholas) when he is offered fruit schnapps. While Santa dispenses gifts for the good children, Krampus is the bearer of coal and bundles of gold painted birch twigs called Ruten bundles. Krampus is alleged to periodically swat children who have misbehaved with one of the longer twigs. Sometimes, he carries a whip for the same purpose. Krampus presents Ruten bundles to families who leave them out as a reminder throughout the year for children to behave. Krampus is believed to have Pagan origins; though, his exact lineage is unclear. Some suggest he is the son of Hel in Norse mythology while others suggest he is similar to the satyrs and fauns of Greek mythology. Whatever his origins, he is a feared but beloved creature who adds a little chaos to the holiday mix.
My specially formulated Krampus Holiday Incense is a festive blend of fiery spices and barks such as cinnamon and cloves that, when burned, permeates the room with all things joyous. Despite his dark and somewhat nefarious reputation, Krampus reinforces the notion of "good behavior yields good things," and my Krampus Holiday Incense reflects that sentiment.
Krampus Incense is best burned on charcoal while sipping your favorite holiday beverage.
