GLOSON

Based on Nordic folklore.

Also known as Galopson,Gluppson,Gravson or Gluffsuggan

If you want to know how the next year will be then you can go ÅRSGÅNG=YEARWALK.
You do this by walking to seven churches on New Years night,
go around them and blow in their keyholes.
When you come to the seventh church you should look in the keyhole and then you will see what will happen the next year.
But this can be very dangerous because you might meet Gloson.
She is a horrifying fire breathing creature that looks like a large pig or wild boar that lives in cemeteries and in stone cairns.
She has big,glowing and staring eyes and her back is razor-sharp that burns like fire and she sharpens it on the tombstones.
In some stories she has only one eye that she can kill with just by looking at you.
If you meet her then you should sacrifice the last three apples from the harvest.
It's also good to cross your legs otherwise she can run between them and split you in two.
Its said that she shows herself on places where little children recently have died and also on crossroads on midnight.
Sometimes a strange little old man with a red cap has been seen riding on her back(don't ask me how he does it).

In Glosebo in Sweden there are stories about people that sacrificed to her so she wouldn't terrorize them.

Gloson has a relative named Mörksuggan=The dark sow that lives on darkness and little children.

So HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all and watch out for Gloson.
