  • S2E1 Jack Frost, Snow Faes and Winter Ghosts
    Jan 14 2026


    Jack Frost is a personification of winter’s chill in Northern European and later American folklore. He’s not tied to a single mythological tradition but emerges from old tales of frost sprites and winter spirits.,Often shown as a mischievous young man or sprite who paints frost on windows, nips noses and toes, and brings crisp cold air. In Victorian-era poetry and 19th-century children’s stories, he became a playful trickster. In European folklore, fairies (or fae) are nature spirits tied to seasons. Winter fairies embody frost, snow, and the hush of the cold months. They’re usually described as delicate, icy-winged beings who dance on snowflakes, freeze dewdrops, or guard the quiet of winter woods. Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII’s second wife and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. She was executed at the Tower of London in 1536 on charges of treason and adultery.

  • S1E9 Frozen Movies Inspiration From The Sámi Culture
    Dec 14 2025

    The Frozen films draw significant inspiration from the culture, landscape, and traditions of the Sámi people, the Indigenous inhabitants of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia’s Kola Peninsula. Elements such as the snowy mountain setting of Arendelle, the reindeer herder Kristoff, and the mystical depiction of nature spirits reflect Sámi livelihoods and shamanic beliefs. For Frozen II, Disney worked with Sámi cultural experts to respectfully portray themes of elemental spirits, the enchanted forest, and the Northuldra people, which echo Sámi mythology and their deep spiritual connection to the natural world.

  • S1E8 The Reindeer God
    Nov 14 2025

    In Lapland the reindeer god was worshiped by everyone, for the reindeer was not only a creature of survival but also a bridge between worlds. Its antlers, branching like frozen trees, were said to catch the whispers of the northern lights, carrying prayers from the earth to the heavens. Families would gather in the long winter nights to tell stories of how the god first gifted reindeer to humankind, teaching them how to follow their migrations across the tundra, how to clothe themselves in warm hides, and how to walk gently across the snow.
