Amina and Mathias dive into Yule traditions in the North. first, they talk about some aspects of pre-Christian Scandinavian jól -including if it even really existed, its place in the calendar, and what rituals took place in the period- and then they branch out to Celtic traditions. At the very end the pair derail themselves and get sucked into a conversation about Germanic and Celtic loans, the origin of things we think are Celtic and Germanic, and the stereotypes about Celtic and Germanic peoples. This is part one of two episodes on Yule.
