Gud Hjul o Gott Nytt Aar! Ever since your video I have been going round wishing people a guid "JoleBlot! and explaining the long festive season. Makes far more sense to enjoy a long period of Festivity during the darkest months. Also obviously "JOLLY" comes from the word and getting "BLOTTO" - totally drunk..comes from "JoleBlot". I am now already feasting without the Dictorial 25th of Emperor Constantine's "Sol Invictus" Cult/Christianity Birthday! I feel so much happier now. Thank you! I'm eating Pork for Yuletide! xxx Thanks.
the days get longer. isn`t that a simple enough reason to be grateful. the sun god, is as good a god, as any god. keep it simple. thank yew. have fun and merry christmas.
Skjalden i am half slavic and half scandinavian. I Love your videos so much! You deserve 1 milion subscribers. I have also started loving Norse Mythology due to my ancestry. Plz do a video about how the two dwarf brothers Fjalar and Galar killed Kvasir and what happened afterwards with Suttung, Baugi and etc... much appreciated😀
Hello, I have just discovered your channel. I have seen two of your videos now and really enjoyed them. I look forward to watching more. Thank you for your time to put them together and share your research❤️ Love from Canada😊
I'm curious as to how you would react to the current NASA findings. The way the solar wind Bends into a shape very similar to the sun symbols in the runes
Another reason for the varying dates of the feast maybe an affect of latitude. And if I remember my Latin, they too held a long festival near the winter solstice and it was given to Saturn- the Lord of Time and Harvest.
Revisited this 27/10/2020 (I am in convalescence following a stay in hospital) and it struck me that Sonehenge, Wiltshire England, has also a Winter Solstice alignment with the setting sun, almost the opposite of the Summer alignment celebrated by the modern Druids. We have no way of knowing if the monument was used by the ancestors for either or both of these festivals but I suspect that the moden pagans use the Midsummer as the weather is more agreeable at that time. I will celebrate the coming Winter solstice at home due to my health, and I am starting to make preparations now.
In Old English, it's "geol", similar to the Cornish word "gool", meaning "gathering". If you say it in Old Norse pronounciation of "the gathering" or "inn geol", you'll get Yule, the "annual" gathering.
As always, a whole lot of information on a subject that interests me greatly. Thank you, dear sir, for all you do to gather the information and share it with us.
Counting the year from the winter solistice makes sense. And is reflected in the later christian ways. This in some ways support Jul=Hjul, as the wheel of time making another lap.
Thanks so very much ...really enjoyed!...BLOOD ON SNOW ,RED & WHITE, SOLSTICE FIRE BURNING BRIGHT!..Blessings to you at Wintertide..The Witch+Weaver at MyProfoundSecrets
Dude, when are you coming back? You made some great content. You should create a patreon so people can help you. You deserve support when you're a creator
The timing of Nordic Yule seems similar to the way the timing of Easter (Oester) is established. Easter is the Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Vernal Equinox. Similarly the timing of Yule is the first full moon after the first new moon after the winter solstice. It seems the lunar calendar has survived in the Christian tradition for Easter, but not for Christmas.
Great video, but just wondering, I don’t mean to sound rude or anything... but do you think you’ll be making anymore videos? They’re a really good source, I’ve got Dyslexia so it’s pretty hard to read through mountains upon mountains of stuff (not trying to use it as an excuse though). If not then that’s fine, you’ve already delivered more than enough, I love rebinging your videos
Yep. The truth is that today in Ukraine ancient Slavic tradition calls local Christmas carols - "koliadky" (in Cyrillic "колядки" ) - them being sung in honor of the god of Winter Sun - Koliada. Some older people directly call Christmas in Ukraine as Koliada, it doesn't even imply any pagan connotations.
Good Yule fellow heathens Hails.
Good work as always my Danish brother.
Thanks Atle, god jul :)
Many thanks for helping make this less cloudy & more clear
Definitely a time to draw into the house. Family harth and home.Check you food storage. Count it out, prepare for the season comming.
I was missing you! It´s good to see you back, Skalden.

This is a remarkable documentary leaving no stone unturned. any arguments against this can only come from ignorance or arrogance, or both.
An over righteous Christian!
Or as more information is known. Everything can change especially as regard the Norse because we know so painfully little.

As a slavic i want to say that word "Kolyada" (Коляда) etymologically means "wheal" or "cyrcle dance"
Another awesome classroom.
Great video! God Jul en greetings from the Netherlands!
God jul Wisi Ger
Tusen takk, God Yul!

I need to look into it, but it sounds interesting :)
@@Skjalden they are referring to it as "switch backs"

The tale of Haakon the Good is very helpful for the time frame of Jól.
Really good video. Opening eyes. Thank you so much again. Szczodrych Godów. 🍺🍻✨❄️🌅❄️✨🍻🍺
Excellent!
Tak og glædelig jul og godt nytår

One Buzzfeed journalist whose yule article disagrees with you disliked this video. :P
This time of year is about the rebirth of the Sun.. The Full Moon of December for 7 days till 22nd. Maybe in Scandinavia is different.
And don't forget that a week of storms would put your observations off!
I heard Yule comes from Yalda the Persian celebration on the longest night?

my thoughts exactly

I thought Thule was Shetland?
I swear this guy is danish i can feel it in my danish body
Of course he is, no question! The potato in the throat reveals it lmao
Skjalden Could you do a video on the Heathen/Norse Yule songs? If any?? :)

Even Tolkien's mythology of Middle Earth has the sun as female and the moon as Male.
