Folklore walks. Not just across imagined lines on maps of nations, not just across time itself. Folklore instinctively walks towards landmarks. When stories see a ruin, a notable tomb or impressive tree, they travel towards them to tether themselves in the landscape. – Dr. M. Benn #Folklore

It’s the longest dark of the year tonight, on the eve of St Thomas and the Winter Solstice, the Raunächte, rough nights, begin, all sinister things put in an extra effort and the Wild Hunt rides for the first time in the old year.

Some say the animals talk at midnight on Christmas Eve and what the animals say is seldom good.

But, of course, we hear what they have to say in our 25th #yulefolklore story, because it’s a proper #wyrdwednesday tale and… talking goats!

Read it below!

Talking about the Yule Goat, lets talk about the Julbocken and Julebukking. There is an old Scandinavian tradition of dressing up as the Yule Goat, and going door by door singing Christmas songs and asking for candy. In Finland, the Yule Goat (Joulupukki) has the role of a gift giver, like Santa.

The last one for Art Advent Calendar. I painted this a few years ago on a circular board. Hares still remain my favourite animal, and this one seemed appropriate for this time of year.

Spiritually, penguins symbolize adaptability, endurance, community, and balance, representing how to thrive in harsh conditions through cooperation (huddling for warmth, sharing burdens) and dedication.
A little sketch of 2 penguins I did today.

I hope this season brings at least a few moments of peace to you. And maybe a few nice presents from the Yule Goat! 🐐

JÓLAKÖTTUR the Yule Cat | 🌙

"His hair sharp as needles
His back was high and bulgy
And claws on his hairy paw
Were not a pretty sight!"

Merry Yule and Happy Winter Solstice to you all! ❄️

#darkart #folklore
Yule postcard illustration with a huge black cat called Jólaköttur standing up on a snowy hill with a full moon behind his back and a starry sky. Below the hill is a village with a few houses, their roofs covered with snow and smoke is coming out of their chimneys. There is a red ribbon with Yule cat's name in the middle of the artwork. The atmosphere is festive yet a little bit spooky.

A popular folk tale (found in Norse/ Germanic areas) tells of birds choosing a king by who could fly highest. The wren hid in the eagle's feathers, thus flying the highest and became king.
