12 Nights of Shadows • Night 8: The Wendigo

Night 8 belongs to the Wendigo — the starving spirit of the northern forests. Born from winter, isolation, and unspeakable hunger, it prowls the frozen dark with hollow eyes and a voice like cracking ice.
A reminder of what the cold can make of us.

Tonight’s Tale:

The Wendigo appears in the folklore of Algonquian peoples as a terrifying embodiment of greed, famine, and the dangers of winter survival.
It is always hungry.
Always listening.
Always growing thinner and taller, no matter how much it consumes.

This creature is the whisper that follows you through blizzards… the dread that warns you not to stray too far from the fire.

Electric Candle Warmer Lamp (Sky Blue Glass Shade)

Here

A small sanctuary light against the winter dark.
This candle warmer lamp uses gentle heat and a dimmable glow to release scent without flame, smoke, or soot — a safe, steady hearth-light for long December nights. With a built-in timer and adjustable brightness, it creates a calm, protective atmosphere where shadows feel less sharp and the cold feels far away.

The perfect ward against anything lurking outside the glow.

Step quietly into Night 9 as the creatures of the 12 Nights of Shadows continue their procession.
