Frau Holle is a powerful winter spirit from German folklore who rewards the hardworking with gentle snowfall and punishes the lazy with storms and misfortune. Known for shaking out her great featherbed to make snow fall on the world, she watches human behavior closely and brings blessings or hardship with the cold wind. She is calm, ancient, and unwavering—a quiet judge of winter’s balance.

Holle Shakes The Sky

“Thirteen Shadows” refers to the Yule Lads—thirteen mischievous troll brothers from Icelandic folklore who descend from the mountains one by one during the nights before Christmas. Each brings chaos in a different way: stealing food, slamming doors, stalking windows, or snatching meat. They are wild, unpredictable, and eerie—shadows of winter that hunt misbehavior in the dark.

Thirteen Shadows

Musician, with a semi ok voice to sing his own poetry. Discovered AI and found a perfect avenue to hear his poetry in music form. My lyrics, my chord structure, but AI BAND. Also sometimes my voice processed through many filters.
