We always associate New Years with resolutions and remaking ourselves. However, the mountain folk use it as a time of reflection and banishing the last of the evil spirits. January traditions travel from the Alps and the Perchtenlauf to the Carpathian and the festival of the Svatki with echoes in the Appalachians for the "Listening Days." These are the threshold legends to see us through the heart of winter.
