↟ GOD JUÓL! ❄️

I fornnordisk tradition har ingen annan högtid haft lika stor betydelse och de äldsta skriftliga källorna finns i det så kallade Haraldskvädet från 900-talet. Där talas det om att kungen velat: "Drikku Juól/Jólnir - som kan refereras till att dricka för de nordiska gudarna, (främst Frej och Oden) samt önska för välmående och ett gott nytt år - vilket är det ursprungliga uttrycket för julfirande. Dock infaller den ursprungliga tiden för julen egentligen senare, mer om det i ett kommande inlägg!

God Juól och Gott Nytt År!

↟ Native Scandinavian in traditional folk custome from Västerbotten with a Näverlur, Sweden 🇸🇪
Näverlur - Lúðrblást, Norse Hornblést (Birch Horn), is an ancient traditional Scandinavian instrument made of wood of fir and birch. The instrument is dating back 1100 years ago and the oldest Näverlur that has been found in Sweden can be tracked back as far as 900s.
The Näverlur is associated with the old Scandinavian "fäbod-culture" where it was used to attract the animals to come home, scare predators, to keep evil forest creatures away (creatures form our Scandinavian folklore), and to send different messages to other villages over long distances. The sound from a Näverlur has the capacity to travel up to more than 5 kilometres.

↟ Vingsted Jernalder, an open-air museum located in Velje, Denmark 🇩🇰
Older cultural monuments on this area from the Iron Age (500 BC - 1050 AD) have been preserved and utilized - a reconstructed Iron Age environment with houses, estates, fields, smithy, sacrificial area and living cattle.
During the Iron Age, the farms were built surrounded by a fence with several houses next to a larger residential building. These houses were used for various purposes such as a smithy or a loom. There was also often an excavated well in close to the larger residential building on the farm.
