“Schwoschts wia de Koin, koit wia a Stoa
De Åschn foit nieda, fuadascht an Bodn
Es låssts ins brenna, Mia sein de Gluat
Aufsteigen tua ma, heaschts insa Gschroa”
- Perchta

Origins

Lady Perchta or Lady Percht is a mythic being that can be found in continental Germanic and Slavic mythology. It is assumed that she emerged out of the Germanic goddess Frigg through assimilation of Celtic influences. In middle Germany she corresponds most closely to “Frau Holle”. The name can be derived from the old German word perhat, which translates to bright or shiny and therefore means “the radiant”.
