Maybe it was originally but this is what it is now and has been for centuries. Called "Jul" in Swedish and what Notch is talking about while acting as if it's anything but Christmas.

Oh yeah and there's a ham instead of a turkey and.... so much fish.


There's nothing left of Norse tradition besides cosplayers.

Our version of people wearing cowboy hats.
Don't we all wish. "Oh yes, I follow the old traditions/Asatru" is Scandinavian for "I'm a fascist."

God Jul! Did you already get sprinkled with pigs blood by the hostess? It’s not a real Julfest until that, and then you drink mead until you pass out.

Anyway, I love how often a thin varnish of Christianity has been pasted onto traditional pagan celebrations, as the church realized they couldn’t stop people from actually holding them. The most glaring one is the Nordic midsummer, which is supposed to be celebrated in honor of John the Baptist. Hah.

But yeah, anyone in the Nordic countries wearing a Thor’s hammer is probably at least Nazi-adjacent.

Eh it's just syncretism, happened pretty much everywhere where Christian missionaries ran into the local pagan customs. I assume it happens between other religious confluences as well, I'm just not as well versed in other religions.

That is to say, I'm not sure how much of it was intentional.

It's kind of ironic that the fascists simultaneously worship the pre-Christian nordic traditions but also the Christian era "traditional values" As if the two weren't completely exclusionary.

I could count on one hand (If I was some lovecraftian monster with hundreds of hands) how many times people with Nordic rune imagery talk about "Christian roots"

Whatever, the sabbath was on Saturn’s day, then Christians changed it to the day of the Sun god (i.e. Saturn). Christmas, lent, and Easter are all based around Saturnalia. Hopefully one day the Lord of Misrule will lead us to a time when we can worship Saturn openly again.

When polled, American evangelical Christians want more immigrants from countries in Europe, but say they want fewer from Latin American countries, which are much more religious. Hmm I wonder why that is? 🤔

See they don't value spiritual theology and want it all to add up, they just want to stick it to anyone not white. They'll wield religion like a club to do that, and if its nordic or christian religion they use to do that they don't really care.

Tape a tube to the inside of the bin to allow air exchange and break the seal.

A wrapping paper tube would work.
