Santa Claus as we know him now only emerged in the 19th century, and in a book by Washington Irving from 1812, he first descended the chimney. But even before Santa Claus, the fireplace functioned as a meeting spot for mystical guests. The common notion that witches might enter homes by passing through solid items like closed doors and walls alarmed the French scholar Petrus Mamoris in the 15th century. Mamoris presented a realistic explanation, claiming that witches, elves, and the like simply entered through the chimney because he thought Christians were giving the occult too much power. This notion became widely accepted in culture.
Fairies made their entrances through chimneys in Renaissance fairy tales, while witches were rumored to climb up their chimneys on broomsticks to attend Sabbat meetings.
