“Let’s celebrate that we don’t burn women anymore.”
“Sure. How should we do that?”
“Let’s burn a woman.”
“What?! No! That’s a horrible way.”
“Oh. Okay. Then let’s burn a doll.”
A/N: Another odd, Danish tradition.

Hi everyone! I'm a young girl on twenty-one, who is currently taking the bachelor Popular Fiction at the South Gate Society School of Creative Writing. Here I'll study every kind of writing, which means this website will be about anything from short stories to poems. I will write everything from my preferred subject - fantasy - to experimental texts, where I'll try to grow as an author. Enjoy! View all posts by mariasjostrand

Actually, we can find this tradition in many cultures. In some cases it was a way to get rid of evil spirits. After a certain ritual spirit occupies a doll, doll is burned (or teared apart), spirit leaves to the land of dead. Everyone is happy 🙂
