Frau Holle’s pond on Hoher Meißner, Hesse, Germany. Roman coins dating back 2000 years have been found in the pond, showing it was used as a place of worship, and today, people still leave flowers for Frau Holle at the pond.
Many of the folktales about Frau Holle originate from Hesse, and local folklore maintains that Her home and an entrance to the otherworld is at the bottom of the pond, from which She watches over the dead and the unborn, who enter the world through the pond.
In places such as these, paganism is a living tradition.
