The word Yule or Yuletide means Christmas time (“Yule time”). 


The word originates from the scandinavia languages, made up of the four nations of Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland).

Yule tide was a pagan religious festival observed by the Northern European peoples, later being absorbed into and equated with the Christian festival of Christmas. 

The celebration was done in the honor of the god of the Vikings called god Odin. 


Due to the evil dark events and troubles that happened around the month of December, (it was said in the Germanic mythologies; that Odin carried out his wild hunt during the month of december).

As a result; Yule tide became the festival of appeasing or making peace with the pagan god Odin. Different sacrifices, pouring of alcohol drinks, eating of pork meat (yule boar) that was slaughtered to odin, and Freyr became the festivity of honoring this pagan god Odin. 

Even children born in the month of December were given names that connected them to the spiritual essence of Odin.
