Winter Witch update

Social isolation is doing absolute wonders for my productivity.

Finished an (extremely loving) page about Winter's Witch here as well as updating her image gallery

an illustration of an imperious looking woman with unnaturally white skin and heavy make-up. She has big white wings and a flowing robe. her back is to the viewer. the only colours - blues and golds - are in her luxurious crown, pearl necklaces,and jewelled hair-net

Winter Witch and Louhi

[personal profile] lumo 2022-11-19 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)

I noticed you listed Louhi as a possible aspect of the Winter Witch, and it feels like it fits, even if finnic mythologies are remote enough that exact mappings may be hard.

Something worth noting is that at least in Kalevala, one of her major actions is stealing the Sun and the Moon, and then being forced to release them. Not the exact same story, but dealing with the same fundamental Myth, perhaps.
