Single Season’s Beatings – Gruss vom Krampus – A5 Greeting Card
Have you been naughty or nice this year? You will know which should this fellow head your way, a lump of coal is the mildest punishment, a thrashing with a bundle of sticks let’s you know that thing you did was pretty bad, a ride in the basket shows that thing was truly unforgivable and you should prepare yourself for being feasted upon by St Nicholas’ hellish companion, the Krampus.

Reverend Dodge Driving a Devil out of the Parish – Lino Print
This image depicts the Rev. Richard Dodge, Parson of Talland in Cornwall, doing what he was famous for. He was parson of Talland from 1713 until he died aged 93 in 1747, and was widely reputed to be able to raise the dead, lay ghosts to rest and he was also believed to be able to exorcise devils from places and used a horsewhip in carrying out these tasks.
People were often fearful of meeting him in the dead of night, as no doubt, a spirit or demon would also be in close range, but it is also believed that he courted these attitudes as he could have been involved with smuggling and wanted to keep the way free to assist the smugglers.
