Episode Summary: Krampus, Christmas Chaos, and Unhooking the Chains

Originally recorded in 2022 for Luchiana’s Occultist Yule series on Patreon, this festive and feral follow-up to Part 1 explores the Devil tarot card through the lens of Christmas, Krampus, chaos, and personal autonomy.

Inside this episode:
→ Why the Devil card is secretly a holiday card (and why it makes sense)
→ Krampus as the goat-demon son of the Norse goddess Hel—who steals children in the night
→ Christmas parties, primal selves, and year-end shadow expression
→ How social obligations, family expectations, and gift guilt mirror the Devil’s illusion of chains
→ A much-needed reminder: You can unhook yourself any time

Whether you’re navigating chaos with grace or wondering how to say “no” with your whole chest, this episode offers catharsis, cultural folklore, and a permission slip to break the rules of the season.

🎄 Bonus: office parties gone wild, pomegranate juice, and devilish meditations...
