Inside a Viking Christmas: The Dark, Magical Origins of Yule

Описание: Step into the firelit world of the Norse Northlands as we journey back to 1000 AD to experience Yuletide the way the Vikings actually celebrated it — with roaring hearth fires, nights filled with myth and magic, feasting that lasted for days, and a winter world where gods, spirits, and ancestors walked close to the living.

In this Holiday History bedtime story, we explore the dark, enchanting origins of Yule, long before Christmas arrived in Scandinavia. Discover how Viking families survived the longest nights of winter, what they ate, how they decorated their longhouses, why they feared (and honored) Odin’s Wild Hunt, and how ancient traditions blended with the arrival of Christianity.

This is a cozy, atmospheric walk through:
• Life inside a Norse longhouse
• Yuletide feasting, rituals, and gatherings
• Winter magic, charms, and supernatural beliefs
• The Wild Hunt and roaming spirits
• The solstice “rebirth” of the sun
• How Yule slowly transformed into the Christmas season we know today

Pour a warm drink, settle into your comfiest blanket, and let the snow fall softly outside as we travel back over a thousand winters to a world lit only by fire.
