What are y'all planning on doing for Yuletide?
Yuletime starts sunset on the 22nd this year, and is of course the longest night of the year for the NH, and it lasts twelve days.
My plans are hobby based, rather than being solidified into traditions of their own rights.
First, I will do astronomy on the night of the solstice. I always bake something sweet on my holidays, but I also intend to make some savory meals based on meats I've never eaten like Duck, Lamb, and Cabrito. I will be putting the most effort into the 24 hour period between the solstice sunset and the following sunset, so effectively two days of celebration there.
I would like to take up archery & archery hunting this year, a plan to go on a hunt on the final days of Yule, which will constitute a lot of effort as well. Many hours and quite possibly an unsuccessful hunt or else even more work in preparing my prey for a meal.
Filling up the intervening time with meaningful tradition is a challenge, though. We have a Yule Moon which happens to fall on the 25th this year, but I have mixed feelings about putting in a lot of effort on the christcuck high holiday. But on the other hand you can't just surrender part of Yuletime to them.
Any one else working on some dank traditions? I think a challenge for most pagans is that we don't live in communities of other pagans with whom to share our traditions so our religious activities take on a reclusive and private nature which should be fought against. Let's light up the season of darkness by sharing our traditions with each other.
Happy Yuletide!

I was just joking m8.
The point was there's sadly not much you can do in todays society.
You could try to just ignore them, maybe team up with your grandmother for some mad bantz.
I feel for you anon, glad I don't have any gay relatives.

Good news fellow greenpilled fuckers, earlier today i spoke with my grandmom and among other things she told me that she wasn't even the one who invited the twink to come on christmas eve. So my gaslighting drunkard mom basically lied to me when she claimed that she was the one who invited him to come on Yule eve lel.
I also told her that i can't tolerate this due to my religious/moral beliefs and shit. My grandmother for her part basically only tolerates the faggot because she fears that my gay cousin won't speak with her anymore (she hates that he's gay ofc) if she forbids his gay lover to come aswell. Apparently it was said degenerate cousin of mine who overtoppled her and claimed he's just going to bring the twink on that day without even asking for permission beforehand. What a cunt lel
I made it very fucking clear though that i will turn around and leave on the fucking spot if they do any kissing/fondling or any other reference whatsoever to their homo degeneracy during the Yule eve. I told her that i had originally planned to boycott it altogether since it's supposed to be the most sacred and greenpilled night of the year by far but she bargained and explained said red lines to me, convincing me to come after all in the end.
She basically agreed with me on everything and concurred that it's degenerate and against nature, and she also openly recognized that it's because of the kike media pushing this filth that the assorted degenerates feel empowered enough to shove their abnormal sexual practices into the face of everyone they meet so they can feel "brave". I told her we just have to wait for "better times" to come so that homo degeneracy will be denormalized and shunned again in the mainstream as it should be. She also said that my granddad wouldn't stand for it either. She's basically semi-redpilled (at least in private, she was raised devout lutheran) but sometimes it looks like she can't make up her mind properly and just goes with what is the most opportune thing for her to do at the moment in regards to the person she's currently talking with.
Anyways i'm confident she will succesfully be able to contain and thwart the planned degeneracy on Yule eve since she is now also aware of how vehementy i'm opposed to it. I guess there's still some hope left in this sad husk of a family after all

Having no practicing heathens anywhere near me I focus more on the shamanistic elements of our animist ways. I have made a peace with a local land spirit who runs with a small herd of deer down through the edges of town and will make a neighborly offering to it.
I will also leave a seat at the table for Frau Perchta and make old world German foods. I have no chimney so a video of a fireplace is going to have to serve as my yule log.
I will give a small, polite blot to Freyja and remember the wild boar offerings to her of ages gone by as I dig into my ham. As night draws on I will work more on my homespun runecraft, an expression of seidr, in an attempt to better manipulate wyrd into a more beneficial and healthy year for my family.
I will participate in my inherited orlog by finishing the day invoking my beloved dead, and toasting the unknown multitudes of my deep ancestry.

If you haven't brewed it yourself than there is no point in the sacrifice.
Gifts have meaning because of the thought that went into the selection of the specific gift for the specific recipient and because of the work that you put into making the gift.

To those who want carve runes:
> Carve on sticks or slices of wood
> Ask the tree first if you can take one of it's branches.
I don't know how this works or if this is even necessary, use your intuition for this.
I don't see anything wrong with it, perhaps the tree will give you a notion on what branch you can even take.
> Don't carve them with metal
Our ancestors seemed to like riddles and unusual ways to do things.
One possibility is to burn runes into the wood, I used a stone I brought home from a holiday in the mountains (unsharpened).
> Sing to the runes while carving them
The vibrations resonating with you and you passing this energy into the runes will awaken them.
I also whisper th name of the rune I'm about to carve (and imagine to conduct energy into it, giving birth to it.
When done carving one rune, I also whisper the rune's name in the same manner.
Your intent could be more powerful than you know, even if you don't see it
> Stain each rune with a drop of blood
Blood isn't just for satanists or some shit like that, blood is a very potent liquid that can assume many forms, or help transition things into that form.
Use blood with caution, it is neutral at first but can be turned into something that will work for or against you.
> Carve them rune by rune, give every rune your attention and care for them when you carve them.
You're not a machine manipulating wood or stone, you're a sentient being that gives life to one of the most ancient symbols known to our people
> Keep them protected in something like a bag
I don't know why wiccans and similar fags keep them in black bags. I keep mine in a linen, white bag closed with white cotton string. These organic linen have always worked better for protection for me. (black is the color of for example the earth, I'm not saying black is an inherently 'bad' color, It just doesn't work for me for protective functions)
Black seems to attract energies I don't know how to manage (yet), white linen always worked as a something protective to keep spirits/entities with disruptive influences.
Good luck to any anons who delve into the runes, they are mysterious and the ones I carved seem very potent.
And good Yule, Yule is on the 21st this year. Make Yuletide a worthy 12 day period.
For newfags, see >>8957 for inspiration (again, intent and will are key to what you do, the exact knowledge of the rituals has mostly been eradicated and forgotten). Wiccans tend to do "whatever feels right", don't fall for that bullshit and research / read before you do something if you can.

> what is the precedent for sacrificing one's own blood independent of this context?
I can't give you a specific meaning to this, I'll research the topic in the future for sure.
However I can tell you that Odin/Wotan sacrificed himself to himself, which is an interesting analogy.

I want to wish everyone a happy Yule. I've learned so much this year and I'm ready to let the old me die and be reborn Healthy and Vigorous. I'm going to a small secluded forest to greet the sun and offer some kvass made from homemade pumpernickle bread. I thank this board because without it I never would've become spiritually awakened. Gods be with you all and may your ancestors watch you with pride.

What did /asatru/ receive as gifts this year that are related to this board?
I got this book that I asked for. Other translations are floating around as a pdf but I prefer reading on paper because it's not as tiring on the eyes. Plus I came across the author first on YouTube as he some good videos on Old Norse as a language, so it got me interested in his translations.
Here is the first paragraph in three different translations:
William Morris’s and Eirikr Magnusson’s translation:
“HERE BEGINS THE TALE, and tells of a man who was named Sigi, and called of men the son of Odin; another man withal is told of in the tale, hight Skadi, a great man and mighty of his hands; yet was Sigi the mightier and the higher of kin, according to the speech of men of that time. Now Skadi had a thrall with whom the story must deal somewhat, Bredi by name, who was called after that work which he had to do; in prowess and might of hand he was equal to men who were held more worthy, yea, and better than some thereof.”
R. G. Finch’s translation:
The tale begins here and tells of a man called Sigi who was said to be the son of Odin.¹ Another man features in the story, and his name was Skadi.² He was powerful and important, but, even so, Sigi was the more powerful of the two, and the higher born, as people said at that time.
Jackson Crawford’s translation:
Here begins the story of Sigi, who was said to be a son of Óđin. Another man named Skađi was also involved in this story. He was powerful and considered a great man, though between the two Sigi was more powerful and considered to be from a better family, according to the opinion of the time.
There should be a comma after "between the two" so I'm concerned about how his English will be, but I like his translation as it's more natural to read and he keeps the accent marks.

https://www.brutenorse.com/blog/2017/12/norse-yuletide-sacrifices-had-almost.html
Solid article about the timing of Yule in reference to the lunisolar calendar used by Germanic peoples before adopting christianity and to mentions of Yule in source material, I'd recommend giving it a read.
tl;dr, Yule is two months long, these months roughly coincide with December and January but not exactly since they're defined by actual lunar cycles ("month" derives from the proto-Germanic word for "moon"), and the main feast of Yule probably took place on the full moon in the second of these two moons, which is generally going to be mid January though this will move a bit each year.
