  1. But others argue it is even more ancient and links to proto-Slavic beliefs where Koliada or Yule honors the god of the fertile sun and the harvest who was represented by a white goat. So Koliada festivals always had a person dressed as a goat, often demanding offerings in the form of presents.

  3. Wishing y'all a #festive #WinterSolstice! We're on the road today so I didn't bring my #YuleGoat, Yuli. Also, some of the folks were going to see would probably insist on an annoying conversation about their religion if I had. We'll put him to flame when we get back home, though.

  5. Screw Christmas lights, give me a Yule goat made of steel I can stick in a fire pit and burn continuously. #yulegoat

  8. As the days get colder & the nights get longer here in the northern hemisphere, folktales are full of the eerie, the creepy, the supernatural & the slightly sinister Yuletide characters. I have an ongoing collection of linocut prints (and holiday cards!) full of festive characters like the Yule Cat who eats naughty children who are too lazy so they don’t get new clothes at Christmas;

  11. Joulupukki is a Finnish Christmas figure whose name translates as Yule or Christmas Goat. Pukki comes from the Teutonic root “bock”, which is a cognate of the English “buck”, and means “billy-goat”. There is an old tradition of men dressing as a goat at Yule in Finland. These nuuttipukki were evil spirits who would go from house to house demanding gifts and leftovers from the Yule feast. But over time the concept of 🧵

  13. A fun - an extremely thorough - look at the #GävleGoat tradition

    Though I disagree with their description of the destruction being malevolent (sometimes the gods must be appeased 🤷‍♀️ ) I'm glad the 2024 Goat survived

  15. Bonus #ArtAdventCalendar: Next in my Yuletide folklore cards series is the Yule Goat, Joulupukki of Finland, carrying his parcels, staff with lantern & bedecked with bells & ribbons in this nighttime scene.

  17. TBH, I have a wee touch of dyslexia. And so when I was driving by a local farm, I saw the announcement as reading a, "Goats and Satan" event, not a "Goats and Santa" event. But in addition to the obvious Baphomet connection, Goats and Santa do have something in common -- the Winter Holiday! And I came across this cool vintage image of Santa and a Yule Goat. But is Santa hanging out with the Yule Goat to lure the goat to the sacrifice? Hmmmm... (Leave it to me to think of something sinister. hehe)

  19. Last minute mistake kept me in the sewing room after dark, but it’s fixed and my #InarticulateGoat quilt top is done!

    I’m so relieved. I chose a wideback for the brick fabric (wanted that color/pattern specifically) and this quilt has been shredding under my needle the entire time. I won’t make that mistake again

    Narrator: She will.

    An explanation of the outside #DataViz border is in the replies

  23. The Gavle Goat's officially called as destroyed... as birds have eaten too much of the straw to really call it intact anymore.

    And it's being called as a win-win for everybody.

  25. "This year, so far, the Gävle Goat stands tall, proud, and unburned. But it has a new enemy: jackdaws. ... [T]his year’s straw has lots of grain still stuck to it. Flocks upon flocks of jackdaw birds have decided that the Goat makes a tasty Christmas treat. They have been pecking away at it diligently since it was unveiled ...." — Brian Klaus

  27. Oh no! The Gävle Goat has been damaged again! 😮 This time by jackdaws after the seeds on the straw.

    According to Wikipedia it has 24-hour guards on site, double fence, 24-hour public webcam stream. Which obviously isn't much used against the birds 😆

    (Article in Swedish, but there's a video of the birds)

  29. 🤍💀❄️ JULGHOST 🤍💀❄️

    Tribute art for Papa Copia from Ghost!

    I was inspired by old master painter Viktor Vasnetsov, the scandinavian Julgoat, the mythological Wild Hunt and of course Copia's bewitching fashion sense.
