Berchta, goddess of the hunt and protectress of animals in her "white" form. Berchtoldstag is an Alemannic holiday, known in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the Alsace. It is during the Rauhnächte, in Switzerland always on January 2, with the status of a public holiday. Its observation is attested since the 14th century. The name is related to the Perchta, a female of myth and folklore, guardian of the animals, and sometimes leader of the Wild Hunt.

Berchta, is the “White Lady”, who spins destiny. In the Teutonic rendering of what is considered to be ‘Norse’ mythology, Berchta is usually said to be the wife of the god Woden/Odin he is associated with otherworldly beings and flying at night with horned animals. Woden is considered to be the Master of the Wild Hunt and Berchta is its mistress. The Wild Hunt, full of ghosts, trolls, and other outdwellers, occurs during the days immediately following the Winter Solstice.
