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
All he's done here is watch content researched & beautifully illustrated by other RUclipsrs then stood in front of a camera & very plainly regurgitated the information. Plagiarism at Best here. NOTHING original 😐 💜🖤✨

@@BlissfulBombshellsHe's one of the best storytellers I've heard. Also, there hasn't been anything new in regards to this story for more than 2000 years.
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...
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 ;)
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.
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. Thanks for contributing.
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. 🙏
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 😅 Thanks for stopping by.
😂🫣 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. 🤫 Thanks for stopping by.
Joyous Solstice ☀️🎄❤

The yule man or the green man in his green attire looks almost identical to the ghost of Christmas present from a Christmas Carol 🌲
YES! I had the same impression! Guess there came the inspiration from.

That’s interesting, so the Yule man is actually called a goat in Finland? In Britain, Father Christmas rides a goat 🐐
some Thor vibes there too
Merry Yule all!
Fun! So Father Christmas sported a loy of red and white before Coca Cola...

Giving gifts. Pagan way of returning the stuff you stole from your neighbours in the last week or two.
😂
Yet Christianity steals everything and returns nothing.
I am digging your room; is that a tiny house? Thanks for an informative video.
Hey thanks for the kind words 🙏
Yeah it’s my cabin on the farm. I love it. It’s less tiny than my other house.
But that has wheels 🚌
Very cool; I currently travel full time in my mini skoolie, but am looking into getting some land to have a home base and put a tiny house on it.

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 🙏
Cool 😎
Sequel inbound 🍄👍 ✝️
Nothing like a steamy cup of reindeer piss by the burning yule log after feeding them a bunch of Soma, make ya all warm and fuzzy.
Mmmmmmm. Merry Christmas 🦌 🍄 y
Marry Christmas; Christ is born.
Thank you
You're welcome 🍄✨🙏
Is amonita related to amrita and ambrosia?

Yaaaaaay...
Several decades ago a writer and academic called Allegro argued that Jesus Christ himself was a sacred magical mushroom! Troppo allegro!
Mana
Good point 👍
I Love the Green Man! He's the God I resonate the most with other than the Christ...
Me too. Fascinating, resonating leafy bugger. 🌳
Dress like a mushroom 🍄 Learn something every day. 😄
Do it. You know you want to 🍄✨😂
Good info, UM, AH, A, learned this before UM, EH, OH, WELL UM ...... Hope your not a public speaker! Thanx anyway Um,Ah, Eh.....

I too can watch older content then stand in front of a camera regurgitating the studies of others.
Rather plagiaristic video here🤦🏻♀️💜🖤✨
