Awakening Yule: Troubling the Monsters of Cultural Redemption with Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen
About this episode
A conversation exploring the reinvigoration of Yule traditions and the interplay of darkness and light during the Winter Solstice.
Happy Winter Solstice Northern Spirit House community.Today we are sharing a conversation between Chaise Levy, John Wolfstone , and Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen on From the Dragon Heart, which took place just before Yule in 2023. We are so thankful for John hosting and sharing the original episode, and to Rune for his deep generosity of both knowledge and spirit. As we deepen into this dark season we are reminded that in the Old Solstice traditions it was the beings of the darkness who brought the light. At this very apex of the ritual year the processions of both the beautiful and the monstrous move through the world to remind us of these time forces on the earth. This conversation revolves around the possibility of reinvigorating Yule traditions may it nourish all those who listen as we prepare for the Yuletide festivities between now and the first full moon of the second Yule month in January.Podcast image shows a Yule Goat being led through Skansen, Bollnässtugan from the Nordic MuseumMay all be blessed, Happy Solstice!
