Send us a textDo you have an Elf on the Shelf in your home?  You might want to re-think that after hearing this episode.  Most of us know elves to be Santa's helpers, jolly good-intentioned mini beings that make the toys for all the good children. But, Elf on the Shelf is a somewhat new tradition that started with a self-published book in 2005. Hang on to the reins as Amber takes you on a sleigh ride into another realm and explores the possible nefarious beginnings of the pop-culture phenomenon that is Elf on the Shelf.We dig into the old gods/deities/demi-gods of Norse Mythology in a brief history of mostly Scandinavian (Danish) beliefs that pre-dated Christianity and their beliefs surrounding elves.Happy whatever holiday you celebrate to you and yours from all of us here at That's Not Good: A True Crime Podcast.  Stay safe and see you next year!Featured Podcasts: https://linktr.ee/paranormallycryptidpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=f32d711f-9ede-49bf-a5d1-ecc65dada31ehttps://linktr.ee/crypticsouppod?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=2168ff4f-f376-4740-937a-7833534a7aa0Source Credit to: https://www.tiktok.com/@pipercj?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcShe also writes books, you can find her work at: https://pipercj.com/Support the showFind us:https://linktr.ee/thatsnotgoodpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=8c3c2b4a-339c-430a-ba57-f7233707dcbcGot a good story?
