9:31 Correction: Loki has a fourth child with a male stallion (Loki being the female mare in that relationship).
most scandinivians calls him Loke,not heard to be called loki
I was just about to say something, because I literally have a Norse Myths book right across the room. (Mythology is very interesting.)
what about Narfi and Vali? I hear of Narfi more often than Vali, but a lot of versions I hear have the two of them used by Odin to try and get revenge on Loki for Balder. do they appear often or is their appearance like a regional thing?
i was about to said that :V
@@Saballica The Norse language is roughly divided into East (Sweden and Denmark) and West (Norway) Norse. In East Norse it was (usually) spelled Loke and Oden. In West Norse it was (usually) spelled Loki and Odin. It was mainly the western form of the Norse language that influenced the English language, so they use the West Norse spelling.
Correction: I mistakenly grouped Denmark in western Old Norse when it was actually mostly in the eastern Old Norse. I am not a linguist. Point still stands though.
Wow. There's a lot less incest than I expected there to be.
well when you are like loki and can become other species/genders kinda hard to call it incest at that point lol
Its a long way from alabama
i guess people dont need to impregnate their mother if they can hump a mountain
@@tobiasnesheim5074 AH SHIT, 🤣
Look at the Greek mythology chart. There is a lot more incest going on than here. Haha
Here’s something interesting. The dwarven gifts on this chart were actually given to the gods by Loki. He was trying to make up for cutting off Sif’s hair. He had two different dwarven parties do it. I believe he said to one of them that if their gifts were better than the others, they could have his head. They did, in fact, end up being better, but he got out of it by telling them, “I said you could have my head, but you shall not touch my neck,” (paraphrased). It’s actually a very interesting story that I read in a book called ‘Norse Myths.’
I saw that on ted-ed last week lol
I love that story.. And then the winner dwarves sew his mouth shut
@@MsBakaProductions
And I could be wrong here, but to my knowledge, they did so with a leather cord, which, at least to me, sounds way more painful than a simple thread.
I still can't believe they just hadn't sliced his head in half horizontally - they wouldn't touch his neck for sure.
Funny how I learned most of this while playing God of War. Super interesting!
just finished the game as well, and the whole time while i was watching this video, i was basically that "pointing leonardo dicaprio" meme whenever he said anything that's i've learnt from the game haha
I learned about Jewish mysticism and Norse mythology in original Final Fantasy 7
Funny how they're simillar in some things.
Yeah.... no god of war is not thst accurate even kratos is fictional in both norse and greek.
likewise but from age of mythology
9:30 Loki was the female in that relationship with the horse.
@702FXR Odin made that bet
he wanted wall made out of Ymirs bones surrounding Asgard so he bet that builder (he was a shape shifter so they didn't know he was a giant) couldn't build a wall in less than 3 months only with his horse
If builder lose he would build it for free if Odin lose he would give him moon and sun
@@marcinkrz3140 The giant proposed he would get Freyja's hand in marriage and the Moon & Sun. Loki convinced the Gods to accept with the change of terms being that he only had one winter. Three work days left and the Giant was almost done so the God's threatened to kill Loki or have him find a way to win. Then the horse shit happened and Thor paid the giant with Mjolnir to the face.
How the hell did Heimdall came from nine mothers!?
That dude must have never won an argument lmao
Yeah it's mythology, but as humans we get stuck in the idea of "giving actual birth" they are Gods/Goddess. They got together and used their power/energy to create a being.
It was more efficient why have one woman take nine months if you can have nine women take one month
This could be inspired by polygyny. A child of a man with 9 wives could feel like s/he has 9 moms.
I cant remember well, but i was told that there are celtic Tales about heimdal too, that He once was a seal (gods often morphs somehow) and rode 9 waves, when He came to the britisch Isle (then as benelos?, etymologic related) and He brought the nettle with him. That thing with 9 is some sort of special number in this mythologic context. The Person who told me that whole stuff mentioned that, even when the 9 mothers of heimdal are known by Name, with 9 and 9 waves there are strings attached to sort of mind traveling. Thereve been smth about henbane too.
Sry as i sad, i dont remember well and my english is very Bad at this time also. If i meet him in the next days, i will try to remember me to ask him about.
The nine mothers were actually sisters, and they had sworn an oath to their father never to have children, but one of the sisters got pregnant, and so the sisters, in order to protect her, all traveled to each their own part of the universe and hid until the child was born. They then met again and all agreed to take equal responsibility for the child
This is super helpful for god of war Ragnarok
Not really. They have separated Frigg and Freya, even though the former is a title for the latter goddess. However, I should admit that it is only a theory, among experts, that the game agrees to. I also agree to the theory, which makes much sense. Freya seems like a real name but Frigg simply means "beloved" or "dear one". Also, they don’t show the elves or dwarves or their origins. Ok, so the origin of elves isn’t told but dwarves are told to come from Ymir too, which is not shown in the chart.
And last, but not least, the narrator has a BAD voice, for me at least.
Kratos: I got the list, thanks pal
Happy Freyja’s Day
One of the seven most celebrated days
Sorry, but the consensus is that Friday is named after Frigga, Odins wife, who is a sky goddess, despite her clear overlap with Freyja as you mentioned. It is inspired by the connection of Friday with the Roman goddess Venus, who was equated with the Norse Frigga.
@@Alex-mn1fb Doesn't Frigg being the goddess of marriage and motherhood, make her more similar to Hera than Venus?
@@elisabeth4912 You are completely right, she was sometimes compared to Hera|Juno as well. But those comparisons were not always consistent. And even if they are weird to us now, I guess they made sense to them then. For instance the Romans thought the chief god that the Germanic tribes worshiped , Odin, was their own Mercury, rather then Jupiter, who was naturally compared to Thor. :)
@@Alex-mn1fb It's still disputed whether it's Freya, Frey or Frigg's Day... In Denmark people usually say Freya.
I really like this chart. But for one thing: The runic alphabet you used is the 24 letter Elder Futhark which was used to write a language spoken centuries before the Norsemen (aka Vikings) came along. Rather, the Norsemen used the 16 letter Younger Futhark alphabet. So these two alphabets are very often mixed. But it's a lovely chart nevertheless. Nice job. And yes, everybody definitely follow Dr. Jackson Crawford.
Yeah, Dr. Crawford pointed that out too. I opted to keep Elder Futhark though as it's the set that most people are familiar with.
While that is true, and while the difference in language was evolving just like the difference betwen modern english and the english in the time of Shakespeare (say), it is also the case that the Elder Futhark was in use at the time we usually call the beginning of the Viking Era.
The Rök Runestone is believed to have been carved in the 9th Century - thus after Lindisfarne.
UsefulCharts I also have a tattoo with runes
I’m a Dane and I’ve used the younger Futhark runes
I’d read a lot about runes prior to that, and decided to use it as the danish national museum said these were used during the Viking era. So I was sure I did not mistake when being tattooed hahah
@@ah.8840 The Danish National Museum is definitely right on this one. They did use the Younger Futhark.
@@robno101 true but it was a transitional period. Out of the supposedly 2,500 runestones found in Scandinavia... only 8 used Elder Futhark; that’s literally only 0.32%.
I’d much prefer people to just fuck off and stop using Elder Futhark and claiming it as “Norse,”it’s clearly Germanic and really only meant to be that way. Too many people making the same damn mistakes. It’s so irritating. Always the same excuse “it’s easier to learn bla-bla-bla.”
12am: I should prob sleep soon
5am: North Mythology Family Tree
Watching this video after playing God of War: Ragnarok makes me appreciate the game even more because I feel like it was actually pretty faithful to the mythology! Great video :)
@@Tribrid-zv3nq right its barely even close but I love what they did with it regardless
@@Big-BossX why is it?
@@selong6013 does it matter? They made their own spin on Norse myth and its dope
A funny thing i noticed is the squirrel that supossedly runs up and down yggdrasil to deliver insults is actually a runic move in god of war 2018, if you summon him he will begin insulting you
Smite also a good game thatz what brought me here
The names of the days of the week. In Danish it makes better sense.
Tuesday: Tirsdag, Tyrsdag
Wednesday: Onsdag, Odinsdag
Thursday: Torsdag, Thorsdag
Friday: Fredag, Frejasdag
(The middle name is in Danish, and the last what they where originally called.)
Same in Swedish, only difference is Tuesday which we call Tisdag.
Also Saturday is replaced from Saturn with Lördag meaning which comes from the old not so used anymore word Löga, it basically means bath day.
Sunday comes from Sunna, the sun goddess.
@@magnusb6311 TISDAG? That means peeday in danish
@@gustavtoft1197 haha
Wouldn't Wednesday come from Wotan rather than Odin?
@ Woltan and Odin are the same God. Just that over time the Germanic languages developed, so did the names of the Gods. Scandinavians seem to have skipped an initial "W", which remains in other Germanic languages. Apart from English is pronounced "V".
Remember that Loke had two more sons called Vale and Nale. They are a part of Loke’s punishment after the death of Balder. The other gods turn one son, Vale into a wolf. Since he no is a wolf he kills his brother Nale. Then when the other goods have had a good laugh and thinks Loke has had a sufficient amount of punishment seeing one of his sons brutal kill and eat the other, the goods then kill Vale. They use his entrails as lashings for Loke to be imprisoned. That whole snake poison story that I assume most of you may know
The thing that got me into Norse Mythology is actually GOW
As an Attack on Titan fan, I didn't notice that it had any Norse Mythology references in it, but now I do. And it's super awesome
I love that show
freaked out when i saw ymir
Freddy Platypus which one? Lol
still one other famous anime is much more in touch with it
They named the first titan shifter ymir as a reference to ymir birthing/creating the first titans(jotuns?)
Great chart, although I would flip Vanaheim and Jotunheim (and the other two realms respectively), because the line Jotunheim-Midgard-Vanaheim represents the past, present, and the future. Jotunheim is the realm of all knowledge and memory, and Vanaheim is the realm of reality manifested in the future.
Yes, but it is just as depicted in that picture because if you think of it, it is right, Jotunheim is in the east and Vanaheim is in the West
The explanation of the realms is greatly appreciated.
Here there is a lot of tings to comment upon. First of all, I am surprised that Snorri Sturluson wasn't mentioned from the beginning. He, after all, gave us the "Classical version" of the norse mythology, with a creation myth, primordials and an endpoint, Ragnarok. According to Snorri, Surt is more of a "primordial" than a Giant - he was there before anything else, having spats with the king of Niflheim before Ymir even was created - the story goes: Ymir was created because of Surt, not the other way around (The thawing of the massive icewalls made by Nifl in Niflheim when confronted by the heat of Surt gave way to a primordial soup, which then created Ymir). The "bookends" in the Snorri version is made by Surt: He was a part of the creation, and he is there to oversee the ultimate Destruction after the fall of Yggdrasil at the end of the world. Secondly: Loki is actually the mother of Sleipnir through shapeshifting. And Ty, according to the ethymology, was the older main god of the pantheon, replaced by Odin over the years. That is why he remains separate. The name "Ty"/Tiwaz, is equivalent of Zeus, not Mars. If any Romano-greek God is equivalent of Odin, it is Mercury. There you are.
I know that they equated Odin with Mercury but isn't Odin more of a god of knowledge than a god of travel and trade?
@@duykhangtran4406 That's because the "classical" Odin is a syncretistic god, who absorbed aspects of many others. In late roman times, when Tacitus wrote, he was equated to Mercury, because Wotan at the time had the same tasks: Trade, trickery, and also the role as psychopomp. He was also the shamanistic god, and tne god of poetry. The god of war, was Tiwaz (Ty). In later narratives, Odin replaced Ty as the "upper god" and the "allfaudur". It can be argued, though, that the aspect of knowledge is connected to the mystical "hermetic" part, being a traveller between worlds. The "trickster" aspect was prevalent, but I believe this was split fropm him and put more visually into his "blood-brother" Loki.
i also like how they glossed over the fact that midgard is actually Ymir's dead corpse, but yeah
Týr was most likely knocked down to a son of Óðinn, not a simple giant son of Hymir and Hróðr. Hymir is likely his foster father while his wife, Hróðr, and Óðinn are his biological parents. Given his past as being the former top god before Óðinn and Þórr became popular, it wouldn't make much sense to knock his status down to simply a giant instead of keeping him connected to the Æsir.
Jackson Crawford also presented a course on Norse Mythology for The Great Courses, now Wondrium. And he narrates books on the Eddas and sagas brilliantly.
I'm fairly certain Óðinn is Heimdallr and Týr's father. Týr is an odd issue because he's said to be Hymir's son and Odin's son at another time and more often. he might have been Hymir's foster son and his wife, Hróðr, and Óðinn's biological son according to some studies. It also doesn't make much sense to demote Týr to just a Jötunn considering his previous prominence before Óðinn. There is no other account for Heimdallr's father besides, of course, Óðinn. I'm happy you have Meili on here though, he always gets forgotten. There's nothing out there (besides the Eddas) that actually has all of Óðinn's sons: Týr, Heimdallr, Bragi, Þórr, Meili, Baldr, Höðr, Hermóðr, Víðarr, and Váli (I don't really trust the validity of any of the other named "sons of Óðinn", especially THAT list in the Prose Edda iykyk).
Heimdallr was born of 9 monthers. He came into existence from the friction of the Grotti Mill’s millstone. His 9 mothers were the giants pushing the millstone.
@@WillWisner where does the Poetic or Prose Edda state or hint at that? As far as I know, Heimdallr's mothers are most likely Njörðr and Ran's nine daughters under different names. And Óðinn is the only one that has been stated in the Eddas as Heimdallr's father.
@@wulaeofthetengu8336 It is really said that Heimdall was born from 9 mothers, not even kidding, but it's pretty inconsistent since he is also said to be son of Odin
@@phaex2288That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Grotti Mill's stuff. I know he has nine mothers, who might be Ægir and Ran's nine daughters under different names. Óðinn is literally the only being ever mentioned as Heimdallr's father in both Eddas.
Finally an updated intro animation!!
?
Now it uses the updated Timeline of World History chart
@@stickykeys2795 OH
Yeah, I was getting tired of seeing Queen Victoria at the beginning of each of these videos.
Loki is not the father to odin's horse, but the mother after he shapechanged into a mare to lure a stallion away.
Per Trygve Myhrer the chart says Svadilfari “fathered Sleipnir with Loki as a mare”
In the swedish names of the days of week its even more easy to see the connection to the gods :) for example: Torsdag, Thursday, it sounds exactly like Thor’s day then you say it in swedish :)
Fredag the waifu of Odin
Onsdag Odin
OMG, this is such a good summary, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Imagine being so norse you have not only one, but two gods of skiing
Well, there is both downhill AND cross-country...
And 2 races of gods. Vanir and aesir
Cries in Danish
wish there was god of Ice Hockey
Well multiple of them are are death gods and war gods, so more than two skiing gods wouldn’t be out of the ordinary
In the fourth grade play, I played Petmir, a giant cat that cannot be lifted, but is actually the giants’ snake in disguise, and I also played a Valkyrie.
The image used for thor bothers me. Some of the few things we know about thor is red hair and a big beard (plus mjolnir, a helmet, gloves and belt) of which that very famous image depicts him as clean shaven and blonde. It's almost as if that's how the Greeks would've depicted such a figure. Though I believe historically that image of thor was made relevant once christianity started twisting the myths
That's more likely what Meili looked like, Þórr/Thor's only full blooded brother.
@@wulaeofthetengu8336 interesting, might give it a look. Thanks
@@SomeGuy-mt4hq good luck lbvs. There's barely anything about Meili, even in today's media.
Raudhr (red) did not only refer to the colour that we know of as red, but to gold as well. So Thor having red hair doesn't necessarily mean he is ginger.
@@mauritsponnette I don't even mean ginger, I assume they mean literally red
I am pretty sure you are wrong about the two halls
Valhal is for correctly for those who die in battle or doing something heroic.
while Folkvang meaning (People's field or peoples meadow) is for "Normal" non-combatting people that die.
Fun fact the name forseti is what we call president in icelandic.
We use the same word in Faroese.
This is the best channel that explain about the Norse mythology in briefly
I just discovered a channel and he immediately covered a topic I was interested in. Tak!
This is one of the videos you randomly see on your recommendation and save it on the watch later
Just finished God of War Ragnarök and came here because I wanted to see how accurate it is
Finally, a family tree chart relevant to my day to day life. Thank u!
Loki is Sleipnir's mother. He gave birth to the horse, not father with other world.
A couple of things
Loki is Sleipnirs mother/dam and Svaðilfari his father/sire
Also I know you only misspoke but Gullinbursti is a boar not a board.
He did not misspeak. "Bull" was written there on the chart. Makes me think these charts are not that reliable and/or useful after all 🙁
I made my own Norse Mythology family tree as a project in high school. I have to say, yours looks a lot more professional and structured.
It’s funny to see a correlation/pattern/common denominator amongst all these different faiths.
Great video as usual! There were however some minor mistakes (the Loki one's already been mentioned) such as Nidhögg being a snake, he's in fact a dragon (but he does gnaw on the tree). While Njord and Skade was married we don't know if Skade was really the mother of Frej and Freja, their mother's name doesn't appear in any of the stories so her identity is unknown.
Nidhögg is mentioned as both a Serpent and a Dragon in the edda.
Viktor Rydberg lists Freyas mother as Night.
I can’t wait for the Merovingian tree
Always had a fascination with Norse mythology (I recommend Neil Gaiman's book on it if anyone hasn't read it!). Thank you for the video, I found it really interesting indeed
Huge fan of Dr Crawford. Randomly emailed him and he answered my question.
An important thing about Freyja that is often forgotten: she was not only the goddess of love and beauty; she actually took half of the fallen warriors (Odin took the other half)! People think that everyone that died in battle came to Valhalla, but actually only half were taken to Valhalla and half of them were taken to Freyja's place Folkvang.
what Freyja did to the half warriors in that place?
Rick Riordan fans watching this and noticing how good his research was for Magnus Chase: 👁👄👁
YESSSS
Could you do a video for crusader family trees like the house of flanders or the house of lusiniagn
This! This is a really good idea for a chart, would work beautifully with the concept of these posters and is a really interesting topic as well.

@@UsefulCharts That would be super helpful! Thank you!
I would like to see that combined with the later (even modern-day) claimants to the thrones of Jerusalem, the Latin Empire, etc.
Crazy that playing god of war and god of war ragnarok taught me so much of this already
I’ve been having premonitions about this Thankyou for this video 🙏
One theory regarding Vanerna (the Vanir) and Asarna (the Asir) is that it was two separate religion that merged into one when a group of people bringing the Asar faith migrated into the lands where the Vaner was living. This is because the Bronze Age religion in the North (prior to Iron/Vikings) is based on the Sun and Fertility, which would of course have been very important to early farmers. Freja is not “love and beauty” but more like love, sexuality, magic and fertility of the people (of women) while Frej is of the sun for bringing fertility to the lands.
And if you go further down Woden's line, you will find Alfred the Great.

Brilliant. Thank you
Dwarves is the spelling created by Tolkien because he didn’t like the lack of continuity with the spellings for elves and dwarves. The correct plural is Dwarfs.
Master Tolkien was always right.
In french, the name of the days come form planets/romans gods.
Lundi = Lune
Mardi = Mars
Mercredi = Mercure
Jeudi = Jupiter
Vendredi = Vénus
Samedi = Saturne
Dimanche = Soleil
Also in Italian, although Sunday comes from dominus, god in church latin
I always thought Samedi was for the Sabbat and Dimanche for the day of God.
If I remember correctly it's also nicknamed "le jour du seigneur" for that reason.
In Polish (and maybe other slavic languages too) the names are more practical ;)
Niedziela (sunday) - often said to come from "not working", a day designed to take a break.
Poniedziałek - after niedziela/sunday
wtorek - second / for the second time - another day after sunday
środa - middle, just middle of the week
czwartek - fourth day (after sunday)
piątek - fifth day (after sunday)
sobota - Shabbat - the only one that makes no sense in my opinion, taken from judaism.
I started the week with sunday since only then "środa" is in the middle.
Wow not one but two gods of skiing. That's amazing!
Very nicely done

It's interesting to see how differently some of these names are spelled and pronounced compared to what I learned as a kid growing up in Denmark.
"Sun" and "moon" are words of Germanic origin, not Latin.
Luna and Sol agree.
@@rakdos36 the more applicable Latin word in this context is mēnsis, meaning month (rather than Luna), which came from the same Indo-European root as the Germanic moon.
Proto-Germanic language was connected with Proto-ItaloCeltic.
AndyBeans
There is the fact that they come from “Mōnandæg” and “Sunnandæg” or day of the “mōna” (moon) and “Sunne” (sun).
However the names were influenced by the roman/latin culture. That's also why there's a day of the week called Saturday or Saturn Day.
this shows how accurate gow ragnarok is too norse mythology
Fr I was just thinking about it
Mmhmm, I like the crative liberties they took with the story though, very cleverly done.

@@mrsteelnutz I have played it thanks. I never made any reference to if it is shit or not. Or to where this ranks amongst other mythical based games, I was simply saying thank you for a nice video....... 👍
Interesting map. In Danish the giants is referred to as Jætter. Jætter come in all sises. Loke is half jætte. Udgårdsloke is a real jætte. So is Ymer and Surt.
Loki was never fathered by Odin.
In fact in one of the stories it's actually revealed by dialogue between Odin and Loki that the two are blood brothers, having made a blood oath at some previous point in time.
Your pronunciation made the video for me 👌 thanks for the research 😊
Fascinating!
If anyone has ever played god of war 4, then he will recognise most of the names

Is there any documentary series or a mythological series going through all of the stories in Norse Mythology? Love to watch such a thing.
Neil Gaimen wrote a good book about it, simply titled Norse Mythology
"the closest thing in Norse mythology to a God and Goddess of the sea" What about Njörðr? You did list him as associated with seafaring and fishing, but with that he's often seen as a deity of the sea.
Njörðr gets often overlooked and simply forgotten, so it's a big thing he's even mentioned here.
You know what would be really cool, is if you could make some smaller posters, maybe half size🤔, not SMALL so say. I’d love to get a few of these, but I only have so much wall space😬.

I have/am putting those in the living room, (eye roll from my family😂) but would love to get more for reference.

The days of the week are actually somewhat based in the West Germanic (English, Germans, Dutch etc) gods which were actually quite similar because a distinct mythology.
Tuesday: Tiew
Wednesday: Wodin (not 100% on this one)
Thursday: Thunar
Friday: Frey (I think this is how you spell that)
Tiew=Tyr Wodin=Odin Thunar=Thor Frey=Frigg or Freyja (I can’t remember)
These gods are the equivalent in the corresponding mythology but we know a lot less about West Germanic mythology then Norse
Actually, Frigg and Freyja are different
Who else is here after playing god of war ragnarok though

If you don’t mind me asking but can you do the family tree of the Celtic Deities which is Celtic gods and goddesses and I am asking because there were many gods and goddesses like The Dagda who was the Celtic equivalent to Odin, there was also Nimue the lady of the lake who was a Brythonic goddesses and there was also Beira who is Celtic Scotland’s most powerful god/goddesses and she was the queen of winter but besides these goddesses and gods there was also 3 gods of art who are the Celtic equivalent of the muse’s and they are Goibniu, Credne and Luchtaine but there was also two sea gods there was lir and Manann while the underworld was ruled by Arawan and Aed.

Can you make a video on Hindu mythology family tree
Is that the Jackson Crawford who always keep saying that the giants and the gods should not be seen as different races, but more like different families?
Where is lindberg in nors mythology
Isn't this a reupload or remaking of on old Video?
Great video! Would like to see more, maybe one on celtic mythology?
The thing is, Celtic mythologies never really got to be unified, through syncretism and stuff. So even if they are related, you'd have for example to separate what was believed in Gauls (we don't know that much anyway) and what was believed in the British isles.
Pretty good with the names. I've been studying Norwegian for 5 years, and had 10 years of French in school and can't get my r's to roll. Nice chart though, good intro to the pantheon
Nice video! I was waiting for him.
Can I suggest a topic?
The Queen Silvia of Sweden is a descendant of Brazilian Tupi tribes. It would be great to build a family tree uniting the Swedish royal family with Brazilian Indians.
Thank you!!
* natives or indigenous peoples.
@@princekrazie i don't know about the other american natives but i know that most natives living in the United States prefer to be called American Indians
@@febopennyficari8716 True. The less you know about American Indians, the more likely you are to say "Native American" because you think it's better when it's worse than American Indians.
BenTheMaster Gaming and More! Nah we call them native americans in Canada
@@febopennyficari8716 No, they prefer to be called Native Americans or Indigenous Americans. Source: my first cousins are part Native and I know dozens of Native Americans.
i died at "the Loki"
Fun fact about swede culture today.
Midsummer (a celebration of fertility for Frej and Freja) is more celebrated than our national day.
In swedish we eat pigs for "Christmas" (Jul) bc of traditions from that time that sacrificed pigs (or boars) to Frej, goats for the julgoat and drank "jul", for it to bring a good start to the new year, good crops and for it to be lighter again. A "blot" it was called.
We also tend to brun a straw goat effigy every year in a town that makes a humongous one (I don't think it's supposed to burn down but it's not very christian either way😂) And also a straw goat with a red tie is prob the most used decoration you'll find during Christmas here. It's the original "Christmas" figure before Santa came about.
Nothing we celebrate has originally anything to do with Jesus, there were already Nordic "holidays" during the times christians came and slapped their name on the already exciting heathen ones lol.
really love this chart!!!!!
hope such can just be printed tho , for those who are far but still wanted to get a copy. dont mind paying online for the chart really , its the hassles of shipping, waiting and delays, so as the addl fees is another story. regards from the phils ;)
