🎄 Jul/Yule is a very old Scandinavian tradition that originally has it's roots in the old germanic Winter Solstice celebrations and midwinterblót/juólblót. In Old Norse tradition, no other tradition has been as important, and the oldest written sources are in the so-called Harald poem from the 10th century, where it is said that the king wanted: "Drikku Juól/Jólnir - which can be referred as toast for the Nordic gods, (manly to Freyr and Odin) as well as wish for prosperity and a happy new year - which is the original expression of the Yule/christmas celebration. However, the original time for Jul/Yule actually occurs later on, more about that in an upcoming post!
🧙♂️ During Yule night, the ancestors were considered to return to the farm and therefore food and drink were left on the table. The most important figure at this time of year and well into the 20th century is our pagan gnome - "the little gray". The house-gnome, he was the farm's patron and benefactor, but he also demanded compensation. Of those who lived on the farm, he demand that they work hard and take good care of the animals. If you mismanaged this, the gnome could get furious, which could go really bad. The night before Yule or on the Yule morning, a plate of porridge with butter would be given to the house-gnome. The porridge must be served with a wooden spoon.
🥨 Baking for Yule was an important part, a tradition that has survived to this day. Yule bread with various symbols such as solarcrosses, year wheels and gold carts. "Drikku Juól" is an old custom and is one of our oldest traditions linked to Viking pagan midwinter feasts, where the core was a drinking and eating feast of dimensions that still remains in how we Scandinavians still do it today. Everything from Yule ham, Jansson's temptation, meatballs, fermented herring, potatoes, sausages, porridge, mulled wine... the list of food is never ending!
🌾 Nordic straw decorations are common during Yule and symbolize the peace that prevails during this time. Also decorated spruce twigs and wreaths that symbolize rebirth and the tree Yggdrasil. Yule sheaf symbolizes fertility and is put upon a stick outdoors to bring good harvest for the coming year. Yule Goats made of straw and fir are also common and has a significant role in our ancient Yule-tradition in Scandinavia. If you offered Thor's goats straw, you would be protected from lightning next year.
🐐 Our Scandinavian and Germanic ancestors and we Scandinavians are known for our great care and respect for animals. During Yule time, it was therefore important to take extra good care of the cattle and make sure that they were well and provide extra food. Even for the forest animals during this cold season.
🎁 Exchanging gifts at Yule is very old and the word "Julklapp" (christmas present) got it's name in a dramatic way. First there was a loud knock on the door which was then quickly opened and a piece of wood (wood flap) was thrown into the room. The knock on the door and that it was usually a wooden flap that was thrown in - is where the word Yule present (Julklapp in Swedish) comes from. A small text or verse was attached to the present. The Julklapp were/is also handed out by a Yule goat.
❤ Here in Scandinavia we still call this tradition for Jul/Yule, the word itself can refer to Jólnir and "wheel" - the sun wheel. But in some other parts in Europe, Jul/Yule is instead called Christmas after the Christianization, which did not gain enough traction up here in the North. Jul/Yule is a time to give a thought to previous generations, it was and is the family's quiet holiday with warmth and joy. We value our ancestors highly and as a tribute to the deceased - to reconnect with our ancestors.
God Jul and a Happy New Year!

Very important.
To do this, you need to know who your ancestors actually were.
Talk to your family.
Research your history.
Don't be a "DNA-Viking":
Do the stubby pencil work.
It will be far more rewarding than a computer-generated pie chart...
Blessings to all! 🍺😇🙏

Natural Antibiotics from Kitchen and Garden
Natural antibiotics can be found in the garden and in the kitchen. I am talking about common culinary herbs such as Thyme, Sage and Rosemary, often found in kitchen gardens. I am also talking about Garlic, Lemon and Ginger as well as honey and apple cider…

Ben Shapiro has released a video debunking the “myths” surrounding Palestine and Israel.
His source for debunking these “myths”? The Bible.
Sorry, Ben, but one set of myths doesn’t debunk another. There is no evidence for a Kingdom of David, nor of Solomon. You don’t get to justify your claim to land and excuse 70 years of ethnic cleansing with “but my Holy Book says it’s mine!”
Also, to paraphrase Jordan Peterson, here’s a “Message to the Christians” on the so-called Right: that same book Shapiro uses to claim territory for Israel is the same book Jews use to explain their supremacy over all other peoples and rabbis use to justify the slaughter of all Palestinians (and any non-Jew, frankly). You have at least one copy of this book in your home.
You can say the Jews were “chosen” in the old covenant, you can make fools of yourselves by claiming the Israelites were actually based Aryans, or you can believe what Shapiro believes. Either which way you are validating the Jewish mythos.
Step over Abrahamism.

Herlaþing
King Herla is the leader of the Herlaþing, or Herla’s Assembly, aka the Wild Hunt. What’s interesting is that a native Briton, Walter Map from the Welsh Marches, wrote of Wóden as the King of the Britons who became the leader of the Wild Hunt after a visit to the underworld, only to return some three hundred years later after the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain.
