Hurstwic's video: Hurstwic: Home for the Heathen Holidays

One in a series of presentations for the Hurstwic Heathen Study Group, an organization that meets monthly for informal presentations and discussions on topics of interest to heathens and to anyone with a passion for Norse-related topics. “Home for the (Heathen) Holidays” was presented by Emily Randall. Not so long ago, Santa was a billy goat and Lucia was a bride. The popular symbols of an old-fashioned Nordic Yule point directly to the heathen past, kept alive in folk customs and curious imagery. We'll look at the deep history of three winter celebrations and perhaps draw some inspiration for our own. http://www.hurstwic.com/training/classes/heathen/index.htm
