    I find it facinating how much the old believs were similar around the world.
    It's only in Denmark they call him Julemannen, in Norway we have Julenissen and in Sweeden they have Tomtegubben. Both the Nisse and Tomte are probably some aspect of Tufekallen, kall = old word for an old man, same as gubbe. Tuftekallen was the one whom build the farm, the first farmer. The ancestors should be honored and worship, so at midwinter one should carry out a bowl with beer to the grave mound. In more modern folklore he have become a Nisse whom live in the barn and watch over the people, how they run the farm, and take special care of the horse. And at Jul they now get a bowl of rice porridge. And at Jul we also give him the task of bringing present to the children. We still kall it Jul, never used a Christian name for this time of year. And Fly Agaric is used a lot as decorations at Jul, I don't know why, or perhaps I know now after this video.

      Fascinating, I know of julenisse from my time living in Denmark, but never know in Norway the main dude was one, that is really really interesting. Love how the folklore of the farm has evolved, similar in Britain too, how ancestors associated with the mounds become elves and such little folk over time. Thank for sharing that. Must visit Norway one day

    Hitting all the high points there. Some of this stuff I hadn't heard in years.
    I was also wondering about the elves, I could understand if they were a product of someone's ancient shroom trip,but I have a lot of trouble finding just how they might have snuck in amid all the Christian stuff. The fey were allegedly anathema to Christian worship...

    • @TheStoryCrow
      @TheStoryCrow  2 года назад +3

      Thanks for the comment. Yes, I forgot to mention elves. The video was a bit of a ramble as it is! Some people mention the ‘dark elves’ or dwarfs of Norse and Germanic Myth that make things in caverns underground. Could be. Although they tend to look like the gnomes and pixies of popular folklore too. Those also, as you insinuate, may well originate from hallucinogenic experiences. Seeing diminutive entities is a fairly common experience after eating enough liberty caps - I tend to find the ‘cap’ is the giveaway. Round here we all them ‘elf hats’!

    Here in Finland we call him Joulupukki that yule goat or maybe yule buck in english I think its kinda good one its nowadays just bearded man like everywhere else but maybe he has connections to horned god someway ;)

    • @TheStoryCrow

    In Australian book Legendary tales of the Australian Aboriginals written by First Nations polymath David Unaipon (1872-1967) I was fascinated to come across a story of the founding of the great Murray Darling waterways by a 'chieftains' wife. She was guided by a little fairy sort of man no higher than a leprechaun, sporting a long flowing beard and a spear. This little man gave the woman the wisdom and instructions on how to open up the great waterway and save her people and country from death by draught.

    • @TheStoryCrow

      I’ve never heard this, I had no idea there was an Australian aboriginal concept of ‘little people’ that is fascinating. Thanks for the book tip off 🙏

    Is amonita related to amrita and ambrosia?

    • @TheStoryCrow
      @TheStoryCrow  2 года назад +1

      I don’t think there’s an etymological link (that I know of, but it’s tempting isn’t it?) however Amrita is usually linked to Soma in the Vedas and many people suggest it is related to the fly agaric. Sorry my Hindu studies lectures are quite foggy now 😅.
      As far as Ambrosia is concerned, yeah that’s Interesting isn’t it. Many people suggest these ‘divine’ foods may have been entheogens. Manna being another example.
      Question is, which ones? Rotting ergot? Fly agarics? Some kind of tryptamine containing plant?
      I guess we can only guess.

    I wonder what indigenous in South America used to do…considering we’re in the equator and have no winter time like the nordics do… not to mention Christianity and the Spaniards just erased it all.
    Thanks for the great info, please get closer to the mic 😅for those of us who aren’t English native speakers. 🙏

    • @TheStoryCrow
      @TheStoryCrow  2 года назад +2

      Hey that’s a great point, obviously I know some Native American cultures were big into their solstices and the equinoxes, the Aztecs for example, with the Chichen Itza temple of Quetzel Coatl coming alive on the spring equinox etc, but yeah - the Inca and other equator centred civilisations…. I’d love to find out.
      Yeah, I shudder to think how much native wisdom was lost in the ‘destruction of the Indies’ at the hands of colonialists.
      I feel the same way about the Celtic Druids at the hands of the Romans.
      All the aboriginal wisdom of Britain annihilated.
      Yes, I’ll try and be better at using my mic 😅

      In my defence I do zero prep for any of these videos, they’re just improvised … but weirdly I only say uhhhh on the more informative videos, not at all in the storytelling ones, even though they aren’t scripted either.
      I know the narrative I guess.
      And yes, I am a public speaker 😅. I’m a professional storyteller. 🤫
