Yule Be Sorry: Iceland’s Darkest Holiday Creatures

Welcome, my ghoulish fiends!

Join me as we journey into the chilling depths of Icelandic folklore in the final installment of our Frightful Cryptmas series. From Grýla, the child-snatching ogress, to her mischievous Yule Lads and their terrifying feline companion, the Yule Cat, we’ll uncover the dark legends that haunt the Christmas season. Forget the merry cheer—this is where the shadows of winter come alive.

Cozy up, but don’t get too comfortable—this episode might leave you second-guessing every creak in the floorboards and shadow on the wall.

As the year draws to a close, I wish you not just a Happy New Year, but a haunting one. May your resolutions keep you safe from the shadows... and may you never hear the Yule Cat’s growl in the night!

About the Podcast

Beauty Unlocked the podcast
Buckle up and get ready as I delve into a variety of topics regarding physical beauty.

We'll take a look at our society's obsession with physical beauty and the consequences these impossible beauty standards have had on us.
Let's face it; this fascination regarding physical beauty and body image isn't a recent phenomenon; it has been around for centuries, crossing borders, and has affected men and women alike.
The realization of this podcast has come about by my own experiences having to deal with society's perverse notion of physical "perfection" and researching an array of topics that have intrigued me over the years.

Carissa Vikis

Hey there!
I'm Carissa, host, content creator, and producer of the indie podcast Beauty Unlocked.
Growing up, I was frequently compared and criticized for my looks and weight. This started the vicious cycle of being self-critical and loathing my body. I knew I wasn't the only one suffering from society's ridiculous notion of what "we should look like." I started digging deeper and researching various topics, and the rest is h(er)story!
Beauty Unlocked The Podcast aims to educate and bring awareness of our society's obsession with physical beauty and the emotional consequences these impossible beauty standards have. Beauty Unlocked's social media platform showcases not only my work but that of other artists, illustrators, and fellow podcasters that I admire and that share a similar message of inspiration, empowerment, positivity, and raising awareness on a variety of social issues.
