The origins of the Yule Goat (Christmas goat) are lost to history at this point, but one of the main theory is that the celebration of the goat is connected to worship of Thor the Norse god of thunder, who rode across the sky in a chariot pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr;
Another one is that it goes back to common Northern European beliefs. The last sheaf of grain bundled in the harvest was credited with magical properties as the spirit of the harvest and saved for the Yule celebrations, called among other things Yule goat (Julbocken).
This connects to ancient proto-Slavic beliefs where the Koliada (Yule) festival honors the god of the fertile sun and the harvest. This god, Devac (also known as Dazbog or Dažbog), was represented by a white goat, consequently the Koliada festivals always had a person dressed as a goat, often demanding offerings in the form of presents.
A man-sized goat figure is known from 11th-century remembrances of Childermas, where it was led by a man dressed as Saint Nicholas, symbolizing his control over the Devil.
In Sweden, people believed the Yule goat to be an invisible spirit that would travel from home too home some time before Christmas to make sure that the Yule preparations were done properly.
Small goat figures made out of straw or wood could also be called the Yule goat, and in older times people would play a popular Christmas prank by hiding one of these mini Yule goats in a neighbour's house without them noticing; the family successfully pranked had to get rid of it in the same way.
The function of the Yule goat has changed over time , In a Scandinavian custom similar to the English tradition of wassailing (singing Christmas carol's), held at either Christmas or Epiphany, young men in costumes would walk between houses singing songs, enacting plays and performing pranks. This tradition is known from the 17th century and still continues in certain areas.
The group of Christmas characters would often include the Yule goat, a rowdy and sometimes scary creature demanding gifts...

Ever wish you could trick or treat in December? If you live in Scandinavia you can,kind of..
Norway Julebukk -Julbok - Julebukking is basically a Christmas version of trick-or-treating the tradition dates back centuries.
During Julebukk people dress up as goats, trolls, or other mythical creatures to sing and perform for their audiences. And gain rewards ( candy or other sweets). The old notes version of this was a man dressed in goat skins caring a goat heat and crashing other people's party's...today's version is much nicer.
The origins of Julebukk can be traced back to pre-Christian times, when goats were associated with the Norse god Thor and were thought to have magical powers. The tradition was also a way to celebrate the winter solstice and a way to engage and wish good luck and happiness to the community.
Today, Julebukking tradition is still popular in Norway, and many families and communities participate in the practice during the Christmas season. The performances typically involve singing, dancing, and storytelling, and often include traditional Christmas songs and folktales. The Julebukk costumes can be elaborate and creative, with participants dressing up in goat masks, horns, and other goat-like attire... Sometimes the people visited are supposed to join in the singing as they visit the next house, though this is optional...
.....
Yule Goat and Santa...
During the 1800's the Yule goat's became more like a Scandinavia Santa, bringing presents on Christmas.
Usually one of the men in the family would dressing up as the Yule goat. (Modern day celebration Still dose this but as Santa)
Another old Norse version of Santa was the all father(Odin) riding around on his multi legged horse leaving gifts for good kids, this also ties into the wild hunt.
The goat was eventually replaced by the jultomte (Sweden) or julenisse (Norway) during the second half of the 19th century and early 20th century, although he is still called the Joulupukki (Yule goat) in Finland, and the tradition of the man-sized goat is no longer used now .
........
Swedish Yule Goat celebration..
This modern version of the Yule goat figure is a decorative goat made out of straw and usually bound with red ribbons, a popular Christmas ornament often found under or on the Christmas tree or larger visions used as laws decor for the holidays.
Large versions of this ornament are frequently erected in towns and cities around Christmas time; a tradition started with the Gävle goat in 1966.
Though people often try to damage or burn it prevent this the ornament is often guarded. This has resulted in more creative attempts to burn it down.
The town has tried lots of different ways to protect their goat. They’ve had guards stationed, security cameras put up and fences raised. And the goat itself has been sprayed with water and flameproof chemicals. Some years the goat even survives the whole holiday season! But most years … it doesn’t.
In 2005, a group dressed as Santa and gingerbread men fired flaming arrows into the goat. Hackers in 2009 disabled the security cameras and set the goat on fire. An American tourist was arrested for burning down the goat in 2001. He said he’d been told by his Swedish friends that burning the goat was OK. He ended up spending two weeks in jail.
And several other attempts, unfortunately trying to destroy it had become somewhat of a Tridition as well..
🎄Merry Christmas 🎄
And Happy New Year

Lutin....
❄️🧝♂️🧝♀️❄️
These small gnome like creatures can be found in Scandinavia, Germany, England and a few other Locations including America and Canada.
In Chicago there is a small demon, leprechaun or gnome like being called The Nain seeing him I'd said to be a bad omen followed be something bad happening to the the city. ( Fire, sickness economic hardship ect ) He is most often described as childlike in hight with red or black fur boots and "blazing red eyes and rotten teeth
...........
The word Lutin is usually translated to English as: brownie, elf, fairy, gnome, goblin, imp, jetin ..... pretty much any small figure depending on the region he is spotted in.
He can take several different forms dogs cats other small animals or even a horse with a saddle ready to ride, in this shape he's called Le Cheval Bayard. Or he could just stay completely invisible.
In Quebec Canada he's considered a type of spirit that can take the form of either pets (usually a dogs or rabbit) or other animals from the region. It's believed that an animal with all white fur could be a Lutin especially a white cat, though any animal that lives in or near a home could be a Lutin in disguise.
The are essentially House spirits, similar to a Nisse or a Kikimora , they can be either good or bad, the good ones use their powers in a verity of ways ranging from controlling the weather, to shaving the beard of the master of the house before he wakes up Sundays.
Bad of simply offended ones may harass the home owner with minor troubles, like dulling a scythe blade or filling someone's shoes with pebbles.
Good or bad they all seem to absolutely hate salt and will go out of their way to avoid crossing it when spilled on the ground.
They also occasionally seem to enjoy tangling human or horses' hair into elf-locks.

......
It Lapland mythology, they are helpers to Pêre Noêl (Santa🎅) Basically elves.
One of the older Lutin references can be found in the French fairy tale "Le Prince Lutin", written in 1697 by Marie Catherine d'Aulnoyshe gives a description of their powers........
"air, water and terrestrial lutin": "You are invisible when you like it; you cross in one moment the vast space of the universe; you rise without having wings; you go through the ground without dying; you penetrate the abysses of the sea without drowning; you enter everywhere, though the windows and the doors are closed; and, when you decide to, you can let yourself be seen in your natural form.
In this story a red hat with two feathers makes them invisible to everyone.

Every year millions of people celebrate Halloween , party's, parades, costumes, candy pumpkins and more . But have you ever wondered were this celebration came from?
Today, Americans spend over $11 billion per year on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest holiday after Christmas
Our modern Halloween traditions are a combination of many different elements crafted together over the years , but it's primary origins can be traced back to the Celtic Pagan harvest festival called Samhain..
Early Halloween celebrations ware very limited in the colony's because of the strict Protestant belief systems of the time. Halloween was more commonly recognized in Maryland and the southern colonies.
.jpeg)
The first celebrations included “play parties,” which were public events held to celebrate the harvest. Neighbors would share stories of the dead, tell each other’s fortunes, dance and sing
..........
Samhain.

Samhain (sow-in is an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, it's also the time of the year when the Vail between the living and the dead becomes weaker and spirits and monsters can roam free among the living.
This festival can be traced back at least two thousand years, thought the way its celebrated has changed a bit over time.
To ward off evil spirits, the Celts would built large bonfires, put on masks and costumes (often animal skins and wooden carved masks), to scare off or blend in with the spirit's. They would also offer food to appease the spirits.

👹💀😈This was the the original trick or treating
🍫🍬🍭
Early Colonial Halloween celebrations often included telling ghost stories and family gatherings and even pranks.
Near the mid 1800s, the yearly fall festivities were becoming more common in America, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere in the country just yet.
Original jack'o lantern..
In the second half of the 19th century Irish immigration helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nation wide
Irish immigrants brought traditional Celtic customs to America including the jack'o lantern , originally carved turnips or gourd's, but thanks to the abundance of pumpkin found in America it later became the vegetables of choice and is now one of the most recognizable Halloween symbol's.

As part of the christianization of Europe in the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows' Day) to honor all Christian saints. The evening before, October 31, became known as All Hallows' Eve, or the eve of All Saints' Day.
It also been called Devil's night, Hell night or mischief night but everyone knows it as Simply Halloween now..
By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular but community-centered holiday, with parades and town-wide Halloween parties as the featured entertainment. Despite the best efforts of many schools and communities, vandalism began to plague some celebrations in many communities during this time.
in 1879, about 200 boys in Kentucky stopped a train by laying a fake stuffed 'body' across the railroad tracks. In 1900, medical students at the University of Michigan stole a headless corpse from the anatomy lab and propped it up against the building’s front doors.
........
In 1933, so many people were outraged when hundreds of teenage boys flipped over cars, sawed-off telephone poles and engaged in other acts of vandalism across the country. People began to refer to that year’s holiday as “Black Halloween,” similarly to the way they referred to the stock market crash four years earlier as “Black Tuesday.”
Some cities considered banning Halloween altogether. Although others responded by organizing Halloween activities for young people so that they wouldn't turn to vandalism. They started to organize trick-or-treating, parties, costume parades and haunted house attractions to keep them busy.

Hanging old fur and strips of raw meat or liver on walls, where one feels his way through the dark were instructed in a 1937 party pamphlet on how to create a “trail of terror.” “Weird moans and howls come from dark corners, damp sponges and hair nets hung from the ceiling to brush your face as you pass by… Doorways are blockaded so that guests must crawl through a long dark tunnel.”
Haunted house attractions began to grow in popularity, one of the most we'll know is the 1969 haunted mansion at Disney land. Still very popular today.
.jpeg)
Haunted or spooky public attractions already had some precedent in Europe. Starting in the 1800s, Marie Tussaud’s wax museum in London featured a “Chamber of Horrors” with decapitated figures from the French Revolution. In 1915, a British amusement ride manufacturer created an early haunted house, complete with dim lights, shaking floors and demonic screams.
.....................
1915 Halloween celebrations.
.........
By the 1950s, town leaders had successfully limited vandalism and Halloween had evolved into a holiday directed mainly at the young. Due to the high numbers of young children during the 1950s baby boom, parties moved from town civic centers into the classroom or home, where they could be more easily accommodate
Despite vandalism a depression and a world war..between 1920 and 1950, the centuries-old practice of trick-or-treating was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire community to share the Halloween celebration. In theory, families could also prevent tricks being played on them by providing the neighborhood children with treats.
Halloween's pagan origins and association with ghost's, monsters, witchcraft and other spooky stuff has always been loosely tolerated by the more self proclaimed religious people especially during the 1980s "satanic panic" claiming the holiday celebrates evil and glorified witchcraft and the occult. Church group's and know it alls once again trid to ban the holiday and started pushing hell nights ( leading kids through a church version of a haunted house showing your afterlife burning in hell for celebrating "evil")
Large scale arson and destruction in the 1980s also had a very negative effect on the holiday.

....,........
A few more common and less destructive pranks and mischief during the early 1900-1930s included cow tipping, moving farm equipment, uprooting vegetables or even moving wagon's to a different location or putting them on top of roofs.
Souling is an ancient Irish and English tradition of going door to door and praying in exchange for food or sweet's, it's the early origins of trick or treating, Norway also has a version of this that takes place during Christmas instead of autumn called Julebukk it takes place on the days between Christmas and New Year's Day, Norwegians dress up in trolls witch's gnomes ect and go door-to-door to sing and perform for friends, neighbors, and family in exchange for food and drinks. It's a christmas-themed version of trick-or-treating..

Halloween is also when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits
They would also leave food outside by the door to keep ghosts from entering their homes (very early trick or treating).

Halloween Matchmaking - Fortune telling games 🔮🐈⬛
There are several old traditions and superstitious practice's done on Halloween that were mainly meant as a form of divination to help young women find their future husbands and reassuring them that they would some day be married. (It was also a party game for fun )
During the 1700's in Ireland, a matchmaking cook might hide a ring in the mashed potatoes on Halloween night, hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it.
.jpeg)
In Scotland, fortune-tellers recommended that an eligible young woman name a hazelnut for each of her suitors and then toss the nuts into the fireplace. The nut that burned to ashes rather than popping or exploding would be her match. (In some versions, the opposite was true: The nut that burned away symbolized a love that would not last.)
Another tale claims that if a young woman ate a sugary treat made of walnuts, hazelnuts and nutmeg before bed on Halloween night she would dream about her future husband.
Young women would also tosse apple-peels over their shoulders, hoping that the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands’ initials; tried to learn about their futures by peering at egg yolks floating in a bowl of water and stood in front of mirrors in darkened rooms, holding candles and looking over their shoulders for their husbands’ faces.
Other rituals were more competitive. At some Halloween parties, the first guest to find a burr on a chestnut-hunt would be the first to marry. At others, the first successful apple-bobber would be the first settle down.
She could also light a small candle and star into a mirror to see if the face of her future husband would appear over her shoulder

👻Happy 🦇Halloween 🎃
In 2024 a Michigan man described his encounter with a Dogman that had "a doe in its clutches" but did not harm the deer, which was "screaming bloody murder".
The creature's attention was soon drawn to the witness, not the deer, and the witness did not perceive the Dogman as a mystical or angelic being, simply an apex predator, but one that did not act aggressively in that situation.
The Michigan Dogman is a famous cryptid that has been seen in the region for decades.
First witnessed in 1887 in Wexford County, Michigan.
It was described as a seven-foot tall, blue-eyed, or amber-eyed bipedal canine-like animal with the torso of a man (Werewolf) and a fearsome howl that sounds similar to a human scream.
According to legends, the Michigan Dogman appears in a ten-year cycle and that it can be deterred by clapping loudly.
Sightings have been reported in several locations throughout Michigan, but primarily in the northwestern quadrant of the Lower Peninsula.
.........
In 1938 in Paris, Michigan, Robert Fortney was attacked by five wild dogs and said that one of the five walked on two legs.
Reports of similar creatures also came from Allegan County in the 1950s, and in Manistee and Cross Village in 1967.
Linda S. Godfrey, in her book The Beast of Bray Road, compares the Manistee sightings to a similar creature sighted in Wisconsin known as the Beast of Bray Road. A famous werewolf sitting in the early 1990's cops were even given silver bullets in Walworth Country .

UFO's over Russia. The Petrozavodsk Jellyfish
48 years ago today there was a strang craft sighted over the sky's of Russia.
On September 20th 1977 an odd series of lights were spotted in the sky above Petrozavodsk.
These lights and craft were seen over a large area ranging as far as Copenhagen and Helsinki in the west to Vladivostok in the east.
Though it's named after the city of Petrozavodsk in Russia, where a large glowing object was reported showering the city with numerous rays of light similar to fireworks raining down.
Several government officials from northern European countries sent letters to Anatoly Aleksandrov, president of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, expressing concern about whether the observed phenomenon was caused by Soviet weapons testing and whether it constituted a threat to the region's environment.
Some claim what people were actually seeing was the launch of the Soviet satellite Kosmos-955.
In the same year, a preliminary report for the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was made, containing a large body of visual observations, radiolocation reports, physical measurements, and accompanying meteorological data. It concluded that "based on the available data, it is unfeasible to satisfactorily understand the observed phenomenon"
The Petrozavodsk phenomenon contributed to the creation of Setka AN, a Soviet research program for anomalous atmospheric phenomena (UFO's).
..... 🛸......
At the time, Petrozavodsk was the capital and a major industrial hub of the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, with a population of 203,000 in 1974.
The earliest published report of the Petrozavodsk phenomenon was written by TASS correspondent Nikolai Milov, who described the unidentified object over Petrozavodsk as "a huge star", that "flared up in the dark sky" at about 4:00 am local time, "impulsively sending shafts of light to the Earth".
Milov's report was published in the mainstream Soviet press (Pravda, Izvestiya, Selskaya Zhizn, and Sotsialisticheskaya Industriya). A local newspaper, Leninskaya Pravda, also reported the Petrozavodsk object.
The preliminary data analysis by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in 1977 found the eyewitness reports to be mutually consistent and complementary. Some eyewitness accounts were attested by Yuri Gromov. According to Milov, "the star" was spreading out over Petrozavodsk in the form of a jellyfish, "showering the city with a multitude of very fine rays which created an image of pouring rain".
Milov further reported that "after some time the luminescent rays ceased" and "the jellyfish turned into a bright semicircle", which resumed its movement towards Onega Lake.
The object, surrounded by a translucent coat, was initially spotted at about 4:00 am in the northeastern part of the sky below Ursa Major at an azimuth of about 40°.
The initial brightness of the object was "apparently comparable to that of Venus". The object moved ascendantly towards Ursa Major. The course angle as determined by former pilot and eyewitness V. Barkhatov was 240°. As the object ascended, it was expanding and pulsating, but a decrease in brightness was not noted. The object moved slowly for about three minutes.
Shortly before the object stopped it dispersed a bright "cloud". The cloud was round or oval in shape. Its maximum angular size was larger than that of Ursa Major, about 30° in diameter.
The altitude of the object during the formation of the "cloud" was estimated at 7.5±0.4 km (based on eyewitnesses' observations) or at 6.0±0.5 km, based on parallax.
The linear diameter of the object's core was estimated either at 119 feet or at about 60 m.
The diameter of the object's jellyfish-like cupola was estimated by Felix Ziegel at about 105 m, based on the drawing of eyewitness Andrei Akimov. The object itself was red in color and emitted a bluish white glow.
The lighting of the area was compared to that from a full moon.
According to eyewitness V. Trubachev, "the ground was lightened like in the white night".
The glowing "cloud" then developed a dark spot around the central core. The spot quickly expanded while the glow was fading away. The object hovered over Petrozavodsk for five minutes and then moved away. Before hovering, the object moved slowly, with the angular velocity of a passenger aircraft. After the hovering its speed had increased. One eyewitness noted that the object's underside resembled a Segner wheel. The entire phenomenon lasted 10–15 minutes. The Petrozavodsk object was also seen in adjacent places, such as Pryazha.
In 1978, Tekhnika i Nauka published a color reconstruction of various stages of the object.
In November 1977, clinical psychologist Y. Andreyeva evaluated the mental condition of nine eyewitnesses of the Petrozavodsk phenomenon. She concluded that "one can be confident of complete mental sanity of the eyewitnesses and the veracity of their answers and testimonies". Nonetheless, several reports noted some impact of the phenomenon on humans and environment. According to A. Grakov, who observed a glowing yellow ball the size of the moon, the air above the lake in Petrozavodsk glowed with white light after the ball had disappeared. The glow was more intense than that from Petrozavodsk's lights
According to Yuri Linnik, after 20 September 1977 there was increased biological activity in the areas where the phenomenon was observed. Noting that that increase might not be related to the Petrozavodsk phenomenon, Linnik nonetheless reported the blooming of roses in his garden and the second bloom of "about 10 species of herbaceous plants". Linnik called it "extraordinary for Karelia's latitude" because "after the autumn equinox the vegetation of herbs almost ceases". He further emphasized the intense bloom of the water in Ukshozero, caused by Ankistrodesmus, shortly after September 20th.
Some impact on technical devices was also noted when the engineers in the Petrozavodsk area reportedly observed "huge failures" in computing devices, which then regained normal performance
Other sightings. ..
Most sightings occurred between 1:00 and 1:20 am UTC, when at least 48 unidentified objects reportedly appeared in the atmosphere. Several sightings occurred before, at 1:00 am local time over Medvezhyegorsk, at 2:30 am over Loukhi and at 3:00 am over Kovdor and Palanga (Lithuania).
From approximately 3:00 to 3:25 am an unidentified luminous object was observed by the supervising personnel of the Leningrad maritime trade port. At 3:30 am a flying object, surrounded by a luminous coat, was reportedly seen by the crew of the Soviet fishing vessel Primorsk, which was departing from the Primorsk harbour. The object appeared to move noiselessly from the east, and near Primorsk it abruptly changed its direction to north.
In Helsinki, Finland, the sightings of a glowing ball were reported by newspapers Ilta-Sanomat on 20 September and Kansan Uutiset the next day. The ball was observed by many residents, including taxi drivers, police functionaries and Helsinki Airport personnel An unidentified object was also observed near Turku by two men. At the distance of 300 m they spotted a spinning object similar to a lifebuoy, 10 m in diameter.
This claim was contested by Pekka Teerikorpi from Tuorla Observatory. Arguing that the entire phenomenon was caused by Kosmos-955, Teerikorpi believed that the actual distance was "many hundreds of kilometres" and that "such reports probably are due to the well-known fact that it is difficult to estimate distances of unfamiliar phenomena". Ilta-Sanomat also reported a sighting of a glowing object in Denmark, over Copenhagen, by the pilots of a Finnish airline aircraft flying from Rome.
The glowing objects were also observed in various places in the Soviet Union, mostly in the northwest. The appearance of an unidentified object over Helsinki reportedly caused heavy radio traffic in Soviet territory. In the European part of the Soviet Union "bright, luminous bodies surrounded by extended shells and emitting light rays or jets of quaint shapes" were reported. The "shells" reportedly "transformed and diffused within 10 to 15 minutes", while "a more long-lived, stable glow was observed, mostly in the northeastern part of the sky
The eyewitnesses included paramedics, on-duty militsiya functionaries, seamen and the longshoremen at Petrozavodsk's port, members of the military, local airport staff and an amateur astronomer. The phenomenon was also observed by the members of the IZMIRAN geophysical expedition near Lekhta. In Saint Petersburg, then Leningrad, the sighting of an unidentified object was reported by three night shift employees of Pulkovo Airport, including air traffic controller B. Blagirev. According to Blagirev, he spotted a fireball-like object slightly larger than Venus at 3:55 am in the north-north-east at an azimuth of 10°.
The object was surrounded by a spacious, rhythmically glowing coat with intricate structure and "the observed phenomenon had nothing similar to aurora". The object moved ascendantly to the observer, to the south-south-west, then it changed direction to north-north-west and eventually disappeared. All three airport employees failed to identify what they saw.
Further reports in the Soviet Union came from Primorsk (two eyewitnesses), Petrodvorets (one eyewitness), Lomonosov (three eyewitnesses), Podporozhye (three eyewitnesses), Polovina (one eyewitness), Leppäsyrjä (one eyewitness), Kem (several eyewitnesses), Põltsamaa, Liiva, Priozersk, Kestenga, Valday and other places.
Many reports were accompanied by drawings from eyewitnesses. By 30 December 1978, the Soviet researchers collected a total of 85 reports on the Petrozavodsk phenomenon.[
In the settlement of Kurkijoki a luminous object was seen by engineer A. Novozhilov, who compared it to an airship. He reported the sighting to the candidate of technical sciences, Konstantin Polevitsky, who recorded it. Initially Novozhilov saw what he thought to be a meteor. After some time the object had stopped and then moved towards Novozhilov, quickly increasing in size and acquiring the well-outlined shape of an airship.[
The object was faceted and tipped with brightly shining spots on front and back. The edges were glowing with white light, which was slightly fainter than the spots. The facets resembled windows lit from inside and were evenly glowing with a white light that was fainter than that of the edges. The object reportedly moved at an altitude of 300–500 m, being 100 m long and 12–15 m in diameter.
Still approaching Novozhilov, the object, moving from west to east, had released a brightly shining ball from the rear, which flew north. The ball was flying horizontally and then descended behind a forest. The landing reportedly caused the appearance of a bright glow.
At 4:15 am. Novozhilov took three unsuccessful photos of the sighting with a 0.1 sec exposure. The object was "much larger than moon" and moved with the speed of a helicopter. The observation lasted 10–15 minutes in complete silence.
Another detailed account of one unidentified object was given by Soviet writer and philosopher Yuri Linnik.
He observed the object at his dacha near Namoyevo at about 3:00 am through an amateur telescope with an 80× magnification.
He stated, The lens-like object, surrounded by a dim, translucent ring, had a color of a "dark amethyst, intensively lightened from inside.
