„Leana, versteh wias gwen is und wias zum sei håt
Håscht is, zach und so vui sche
Schwar wiagt da Schåttn vo de oit Vordern
Wia in an Spiegl, sich i di und sech a mi“
- Perchta
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”.
