The Celebration Of Yule - A Germanic Feast.

By: Varg Vikernes.

After a thousand years under the Judeo-Christian yoke it is now alas necessary
to re-inform the Nordic people about the context of our feasts, so that our cultural
heritage does not get forgotten or expelled by Judeo-Christian customs. Yule is a
time we connect with ribs, Christmas tree, decorations, gifts, Santa Claus to
mention some. I shall not go on about what the international Judeo-Christian power
tries to get people to connect to this feast, but instead explain what Yule really is
about - what it originates from…

Yule is the darkest time of year, when the nights are at their longest and days at
their shortest. It is also the time when the sun turns and the days get longer. This
our distant predecessors celebrated; the day when the sun turned and when it
went towards lighter times. This was called "Yule" (wheel) of the simple reason
that the sun-wheel (swastika) is our foremost symbol of the sun; the life-giving
and life-preserving power. To symbolize this it was customary to set fire to a
wheel and to let it roll down hills in full fire and flame! Besides being a light-feast
the Yule is also a feast for the dead, and a sacrifice for peace and fertility for the
coming year.

One sang in the Yule by calling on the dead ones; "come those who want, join
those who want" is an example of what the wife in the house could sing out
while she walked around in the house singing the coming of Yule. Because
everyone was supposed to able to get in it was forbidden to lock the doors
and windows - they should actually stand wide open. The dead should not
be hindered in coming home. Images and figures of our predecessors were
put forth, so that they were remembered, and it was everyone's duty to toast
to the dead and to our Gods. It is a religious duty to toast to Odin on the eve
of Yule!

A great lot of food was set forth for decoration. Such food shall not be touched
before the Yule is past; because the dead ones shall be the first ones to help
themselves, and that which is left over the living shall have. This was
cake-houses, nuts and much more. The eve of Yule the living should sleep
in their living rooms and make their beds for the dead. Branches of evergreens
were brought in. These were decorated with cake-men and cake-animals of
different kinds. A spearhead was also fastened to the branches, in the top as a
symbol for Odin's Gungnir. This branch - or the whole tree in our days
(a German custom from 16'th century) - is a symbol of Yggdrasil; the tree of
life, and we hang things in it to hold a symbolic sacrifice to the Gods - after
the model of the Uppsala blot and other related sacrifices where animals and
humans were hung in the trees as a sacrifice to the Gods!

While everyone is asleep "the white god" - Heimdall - comes back to his
children to give them what they deserve. Some get grand gifts, whilst others
get their sock filled up with charcoal from the chimney. He rides over the
heaven - like Thorr - with his wagon, which is pulled by deer or rain-deer,
the whole night of Yule and visits all his children. Not only was Heimdall
given the mission to improve the human race by giving them blood from
the Gods, he was also to guard over the humans; hear all that was said, see
everything and reward the children who deserved it.

The Yule is not only a feast for the dead and living, for the returning sun, for
peace and fertility in the coming year. It is in the Yule's last days the
Åsgardsrei fulfill the consecration of its new members. Then they fare forth
in the night, disguised as animals and mythical beings, and then they go
from house to house and empty their cellars for mead, bear and other things.
Today we send our children out on this every year as "Julebukker (Yule-goats)".
This gang of berserkers and wolf-hides must have frightened more than one old
lady up through the years…

There are more details, such as cakes decorated with swastikas, that we eat ribs
because it is of Freys holy animal (the swine), that the wife in the house brushes
out all dust and dirt after the Yule whilst she throws out the dead and bid them
keep away until she calls on them again, but I hope you know a little bit more
now: about what the Yule actually is, where it comes from and why we celebrate
it…?!

Think about it - and have a MERRY YULE!

:o Jewish Ritual Murder Ceremony ... the After-math. Gentile Soup. *smirks*
A.H. ! Ha!

That's one of my favorite!

no_nomen,I'm certainly glad you gave fair warning to the Xtians not to despoil our religious festivity, as you may be SURE the little lord jesus is shitting his diapers at your disrespect -well, if they HAD diapers back in those days, he would be. Anyway, as it is- him being all grown up now and semi-deceased and risen and gone to 'the above' (which way IS up in the universe, by the way?)... he is merely bleeding from his nailholes up in heaven. Right?

But what I am trying to understand about what you are saying...and it just seems so metaphysically unfathomable and unlikely: You mean White people had religions before the joojoo baby jesus?

How can that possibly be? ...Except for "graven images and false gods", I mean?

The Soup or the Painting?

Great link and thread!

It is high time we go back and explore our indigenous religion(s).

Very nice! Although you will note that this painting, Överflödets magi (The Magic of Plentifullness) is not connected to jul (Christmas) but to another holiday, namely Lucia Day on December 13.

Lucia, surprisingly, was an Italian woman, it is said. She refused to marry a nobleman because she was too much in love with God, or something like that, and so they killed her. Anyway, Light was celebrated before Lucia became the Festival of Light.

In preparation for Lucia, high schools and junior high schools will usually hold a vote to choose a Lucia from the many candidates. She should be tall, blond and beautiful. Lucia dresses in a white robe with a red ribbon around her waist, and she wears a crown with candles on her head to symbolize that she brings light in darkness (you can see a Lucia in this painting, walking up to the door). She is followed by a long trail of tärnor; a tärna is a girl also dressed in a white robe, but instead of a crown she wears only one candle in her hands, and she doesn't have a red ribbon around her waist but instead a sparkling ribbon of the kind you dress Christmas trees with (at least we do in Sweden. Note that this sparkling ribbon is not an old tradition, as this material didn't exist too long back in time).

Lucia will walk into the aula together with her tärnor in double file behind her, singing a song. This is the Luciatåg, Lucia Train or Trail. She stops in the middle of the stage and the tärnor stand to her left and right. There are many Lucia songs to be sung, and it will take an hour or two. This festivity, with singing girls dressed in white robes and with only candles to light up the room, is the most serene thing you will ever see in your life, possibly with the exception of a wedding.

Among kids the boys will want to sing as well, and so they can dress up as stjärngossar, star boys. They will then wear white robes and white cone hats with three stars made out of golden paper attached to them. In his hand a stjärngosse will wear a thin stick with a large golden star made out of stiff golden paper attached to the top of it. They stand at both ends of the Luciatåg, flanking the girls, and they also have one song that they sing alone, Staffan stalledräng about a stableboy who loyally guards the five horses in a stable throughout the night. This song is actually one of the best at Lucia, preferably sung with a deep voice.

Choirs from high schools and elsewhere will also arrange visits to old folks' homes, hospitals and the like, and there is a national contest for the year's Lucia who sings in a cathedral-like church in Stockholm -- very beautiful, I make sure to watch at least part of it on TV every year. The Lucia candidates who are not chosen to be Lucia will be tärnor instead, and so typically most of the girls in the Lucia Trail will be blond and tall and beautiful.

Up until at least the early 20th century villages would arrange their own Lucia, and she would walk from house to house to sing, like in this painting.

You also eat Lussekatter on this day, a special bread with raisings -- very yummy. Lussekatter, Lusse Cats, symbolize the cats that pulled the goddess Freya's chariot, sparkling with light so that few could stand watching them. (These cats are also the reason why the word for a sun reflex is solkatt, sun cat) Lucia and her followers often bring this bread with them, together with glögg, hot spiced wine that all Swedes drink during December. (You can see in the painting that the Lucia is bringing some food with her to the house]

Lucia Day is also celebrated in Finland, Denmark and Norway, but nowhere is it as important as in Sweden. It is emphasized that it is a celebration of light, which is needed since it gets dark before four pm in southern Sweden in December, and the northernmost parts see only about an hour of sunlight when it's at its darkest.
