“create more and consume less” That’s better than what i thought of lol! My Yule oath is to read more books and study more of the things that interest me. I asked for some really cool books for the holidays that my family is going to get for me tomorrow so i’m excited to start honoring that oath immediately!
'Hage' in Danish, 'haka' in Swedish is chin, but it is also a 'spit/peninsula' in the landscape, and (metaphorically) 'obstacle'. As a sailor, I have many times been beating upwind to round land and landgrounds named 'Something-hage'. So, when it is not a part of someone's lower forehead, it implies something like 'turning point', 'hinge'. So when the word 'hage-nat' came onto the screen, it immediately mad sense to me. For what that is worth... - Useful is the outdated, but very comprehensive dictionary "Ordbog over det Danske Sprog" online (note the lovely plural -e endings of verbs that also our hymn book is full of 😊)
Having mid winter celebrations in late january - early february makes more sense than at winter solstice which is close to the beginning of the coldest period of the year.
I found "The Lunisolar Calendar of the Germanic Peoples" by Andreas E. Zautner (Translated by Johanna Klapper) a very interesting read. Best Wishes from the UK.
Her haaaiiiirrr!!! 😍😍😍😍 My Solstice Resolutions are getting through a year of school to then transfer to CA or NH, to have lots of cash in da bank 💵 💰, also to send out the good intentions to those needing breakthroughs of all kinds in the new year!! We need it!! Happy Yule! Merry Christmas! Wassail!!!
RUclipsr Abby Cox (mostly fashion history /clothing reconstructions, but also culture in general) has a video out this year about Christmas, and talks about how, in Charles Dickens's time, "Merry" was a word associated with drunkenness. So the Yule Ale may be the most enduring of holiday traditions... My oath of this year is to finally write a series of interlocking short stories.
The idea of Hákon regulating religious practice through law is such a post-canon law idea… Does the author of Heimskringla back it up with any scaldic references? Or is it disconnected from the poetry like the rest of the narrative? And why do we have any references to Easter/Eastre in the Nordic material?
Since northern latitudes have earlier harvests than mid-latitudes, I'd expect Iceland to start Yule earlier than Gutþiuda (where fruma Jiuleis = Naubaimbair).
My Solstice Oath is to reclaim my ancestral treasure from anyone who withholds it from me, be they fair or foul, friend or foe. I'm sure it won't end badly.
Þorri is the month between ca. mid January to ca. mid February in Iceland and is still celebrated in our country. Then people eat old traditional food. In solstice in December people in the Viking age drank öl, homebrewed terrible ale I am told.
Could jul yol have anything to do with the indoeuropean and iranian tradition of "Jalda".? Which is the sjortest night when the evil spirits and dead are out roaming around`. It makes sense for my swedish ear - but does a go to o u as in jul. In Norweogan it is Jula. 'wishing You a God Jul
I read an historian who was into the theory that the winter feast was celebrated "the first new moon after the first full moon after the winter solstice" Would be ... 13th Jan full moon ... 29th January 2025. So see You then😂
I’m not sure if your familiar with the Aldsidu blog but the author makes a very convincing take on the traditional heathen calendar. Winter nights is the full moon just before Halloween, Jol on Jan 17th this year and then sigurblot starting on April 12. From the sources there isn’t anything that indicates the Germanic peoples celebrated solar events it all points to a lunar solar tradition. I would love to see evidence showing anything else.
Dr. Crawford is out of his natural habitat and indoors.
wild crawfords tend to seek shelter inside, in the cold winter months
If you're cold, they're cold. Bring Crawfords inside. Love all Old Norse specialists.

We got gentle voice Jackson today
You two are so adorable. I really like "create more, consume less" I might poach it 😊
God Jul, Jackson and Lauren. SKAL to both your oaths. ❤️🎄🐐 excited to check out the online resource and older Yule video.
Gleðilig jól, Jackson og Lauren.
At drekka jól is a phrase still used somewhat in the Faroe Islands.

I was hoping for this video.
🎄God Jul interesting as allways.

This was really great - thankyou
Dr Crawford is a smooth one! 😂🥰😁
God jol to you JC!
If you sweat an oath oh Jól not to swear any oaths, have you broken your oath?
Rather like when I swore an oath not to be an oaf.
Have a good one
I suspect the winter celebration was observed at different times and in different ways by groups in divergent locations.
I 100% thought you we're going to vow to "marry this woman"… God jul from Sweden!
My oath is actually going to school for sociolinguistics, because I can't find an answer to the question that my brain won't stop asking
I still struggle to deal with cute Crawford ❤

Does the word 'jolly' come from 'jol' 'yule'? Have a Holly Jolly Christmas.

Link of the older video?
Anyone know of any good sources to investigate non-patrilineal Norwegian surnames?
Gleðileg jól
My solstice oath is to be creative again.
Gott segne euch beide! Frohe Weihnacht!
Glædelig jul.
I read an historian who was into the theory that the winter feast was celebrated "the first new moon after the first full moon after the winter solstice"
Would be ... 13th Jan full moon ... 29th January 2025.
So see You then😂
A very Marry Cristmas to all of you. Lol
