Frau Holle, also known as Mother Hulda or Old Mother Frost, is a figure rooted in Germanic and Scandinavian folklore. She is depicted as both a benevolent and fearsome goddess, embodying themes of winter, justice, and the cycles of life and death.

Frau Holle predates Christianity and is linked to ancient goddesses like Frigg, Freyja, and Hecate. She represents the earth's fertility, weather, and the spinning of fate. 

She is said to bring snow by shaking her featherbed and is associated with seasonal cycles, hearth, and home. 

In the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, she rewards industriousness and punishes laziness. This reflects her role as a harbinger of justice. 

Frau Holle was seen as a guardian of the dead and unbaptized children. 

Frau Holle's mythology blends elements of nature worship, morality tales, and ancient goddess traditions, making her a multifaceted figure in European folklore: 

A mystical figure, Frau Holle, stands tall amidst a wintry landscape, embodying themes of winter, justice, and the cycles of life and death. Snow, rain, and sunlight swirl around her, reflecting her control over the elements.

Ancient cityscape with bold, geometric architecture, featuring multiple, overlapping viewpoints, set against a warm, golden background with subtle texture, evoking the majestic, sun-kissed temples of ancient Egypt. Delicate, swirling patterns and motifs inspired by Qajar art dance across the buildings and streets, intertwined with lush, vibrant flowers and birds, their intricate, curved lines and ornate details reminiscent of the opulent, symbolic language of Egyptian and Qajar artistic traditions. The scene is infused with the distinctive, dreamlike quality of Maryam Hashemi's style, blending realism and fantasy, with a sense of mysticism and wonder, in the manner of Kay Nielsen's and Edmund Dulac's imaginative, illustrative approach, with the added opulence of Gustav Klimt's golden, symbolic accents.
