Yule or as in old norse, J贸l time is not just celebrating the shortest day of the year as the return of the sun, it is a lot more.
Its a time of feasting stretching from the solstice, the rebirth of the sun often til the full moon after.
Imagine yourself living without the comfort of central heating in simple wooden or turf build houses, a central fire the only source of heat in harsh winters. Everyone plays their role in getting the community through the winter.
The feasts of J贸l bring them all together with food, drink and storytelling.
Oaths of allegiances would be sworn for the next season and sacrifices - bl贸ts to gain the favors of the gods.
Stories of adventures and tales of gods and mighty warriors are passed from generation to generation and help people through the harsh winter time and the short days.
We dream in the spirit of J贸l of the adventures to come in the next year and hope to see you there.

I'm very sad to report that Harald Skogheim, the leader of the Bergen Vikings Haakon, passed away yesterday. He led their group when they were with us at Slane earlier this year and played a key role on our longships on the River Boyne.

A second look reveals a lot. Here is one of last nights images and I hadn't noticed at first just how many stars were visible in it through the Aurora lights. Top left Corona Borealis, below it castor & Pollux, the Square of Hercules, Cassiopeia in the bottom leftn then move across to the upper half of Orion bottom right-his belt clearly seen in the corner. Above that is the planet Jupiter the brightest spec in the shot, then Ta**us with it's brightest start Aldebaran shining in the top right corner.
