The boar's head with apple in mouth was carried into the banquet hall on a gold or silver dish to the sounds of trumpets and the songs of minstrels." Spears, James E. Folklore, Vol. 85, No. 3. (Autumn, 1974.)

| 4 |  My Swedish wife bakes saffron buns and puts out Yule goats at this time of year. The origin of the Yule goat is unknown, but probably pagan therefore people try to connect them to Thor's goats. However, Thor was not one of the gods honoured at Yule, and the Swedish julbockar originate in a single figure - a man dressed as a goat who functioned rather like Santa Claus or the Krampus. In early accounts the Julbok man was one of many characters in Swedish mummery for Yuletide, and this seems to me rather like the Alpine Christmas parades of ghoulish characters including the horned Krampus. So maybe the julbok is the only surviving member of the ghostly parade of ancestors who represent Odin's einherjar? That would be more appropriate for Yule than anything to do with Thor. | 1 455 |

| 6 | In advance of Yule I shall just remind people that although in the past I pointed out that Odin's epithet JΓLFAΓR "yule father" sounds like Father Christmas, that is in fact just a coincidence. Odin was indeed the principle god of the Yule festival, but he is not related to Santa Claus.
Father Christmas and Santa Claus are two separate figures who got merged together recently. The latter was mainly in West Germanic speaking continental Europe and was based on Saint Nicolas, while the former was in France and the British Isles and is literally a personification of Christmas itself. Neither existed in Scandinavia or Iceland until recently. The Nordic equivalent was a goat and it is perhaps of relevance that early English depictions of Father Christmas depict him riding on a goat so there may be a connection between the Julbok and Father Christmas but maybe not.
The reindeer and North pole stuff is all modern invention from USA so any resemblance to Odin is coincidence.
Also, as a heathen father, I don't consider it pious to tell my children that the fat purveyor of plastic toys is our god. It isn't. I also refrain from referring to the small pointy hatted servants as "elves" since in our religion this term is reserved for honoured ancestral spirits. I prefer to say gnome so as to avoid confusion. The Nordic countries call them nisse but this may derive from a term meaning "ancestor" which raises similar concerns. | 1 291 |

| 12 |  +3Returning to the subject of rangles (read more), the Oseberg ship burial gives us a clue as to how they were used. It contained 5 ornately carved wooden beast heads, each of which held rope in its mouth and was associated with a unique rangle rattle, some with ornate gold work on them. Each of the rattles was attached by a rope to its metal hook. In addition the rattle-rope passed through the mouth of the associated animal head post. As far back as 1905 Shetelig and Gustafson proposed that the beasts and rangles were used during the funeral rite as a kind of fence for the sacred area (known as a Gard) which was inside the ship that was later buried beneath a barrow. It seems the rangles and beasts protected the ritual area from evil supernatural forces. | 1 930 |
