The final nights have found you, darling, There's nothing left but bone. There's nothing left but to wait, my love, Dark wings will fly you home.

quick q! why would it be funny that peeps refer to the goat as 'she'?

Apparently if you change program on your phone (such as going to google translate to look up what bock is in english) tumblr will delete everything you've written.

The yule goat or straw goat is based on Tors goats, which are called Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. The names mean tooth grinder and (the one with) gaps between the teeth.

There are female goats in norse mythology (Heidrun comes to mind) who are specified to be milkable. In the myths we hear of Tor eating his goats from time to time, but he never milks them.

But the biggest reason i find it funny that people would see the goat as a girl is because the goats are called "julbock", or "Tors bockar", with bock meaning billy-goat, male goat, specifically.

Gävlebocken means "the male goat in/from Gävle". I guess it's kinda like saying "she" about a rooster.

so theres 2 villages (towns?) on the coast that competitively build bonfires every new year’s eve. except this year they were abnormally high and there was a strong wind coming in from sea so they had literal cinder rains & fire tornadoes being blown into town which looked like a literal scene from HELL

so yeah that’s an uhhhhhhhh interesting start of the year

Dead goat.

Bread goat.

Fed goat. I could not bring myself to burn the Goat this year. It is already dead, and there's no more sacrifice to be made. Instead, we join with the birds in the act of consumption, taking forth the sacrifice for the new year into our bodies. Happy New Years folks. May the Feast heal what is hurt, and hurt what harms you.
