According to Scandinavian folklore, trolls live inside mountains, rocks, and caves, far away from human habitation. They are not solitary beings, and usually live together in small family units, forming communities of trolls that dwell inside the mountains.

Let's start the year with Scandinavians!
Norwegian M1914, Danish M/1915 and Swedish M/1910 uniforms
While Anglophone metal-bands, TV producers and icecream-companies may think their excessive use of umlauts and dashed letters makes for a fun and quirky aesthetic, what they don't realise is that an average of 4 Scandinavians die from strokes every year trying to read them.

It seems like you guys enjoyed the throwback to my old Scandinavian school of magical arts project. So here is one of the other members of the faculty- Kari "Mannevond" Sigfridsdottir. She is a professor of Charms and Curses.✨
@BosqueAli Hitler saw the Germans as inferior to Scandinavians and even hated them near the end ,often saying in his dinner talks that the german people are at best half nordic , what he refers to is the Benrath line (Benrather Linie) which the nazi saw as the alpine/nordic race divide

#FolkloreThursday: All hail the Yule Goat. A recurring theme in Scandinavian winter traditions is goats. Since Thor rode a magic chariot pulled by immortal goats, is it possible Santa's related to Thor? Chariot = sleigh, goats = reindeer? 🤯🎄🐐

A Scandinavian Happy Christmas on Day 20 of the #Saltaire Living Advent Calendar at 8 Mary St. In 1884 Mary Rushworth 14, a spinner, enjoyed a walk with friends but then fell on her face nr the gate to the park. Pronounced dead by Dr Rutherford, she was carried home to No8.
On the winter solstice, a white female animal (usually a reindeer) was sacrificed in honour of the Scandinavian goddess Beiwe, who travelled through the night sky in a structure made of reindeer bones to bring back the greenery on which these creatures fed. #MythologyMonday

@LaurynIpsum In Scandinavia, the goat (unlike frogs, beetles and jellyfish) is very much part of the Christmas imagery- traditionally presents were delivered by the Christmas Goat, gingerbread cutters are often goat-shaped etc.
The #Yule Goat by #Swedish #artist John Bauer, (1917 & 1912). An integral #Yule figure in Scandinavian mythology, possibly linked to Thor & loved by children, the Yule goat is often involved with gift giving on #ChristmasEve & pulls the Santa-like Tomte’s sleigh. #FaustianFriday
Frau Holle appears in many different forms in Scandinavian mythology and legend. She is associated with both the evergreen plants of the Yule season, and with snowfall, which is said to be Frau Holle shaking out her feathery mattresses. #FaustianFriday
The Scandinavian festival of St. Lucia’s Day not only celebrates the Christian martyr Lucia of Syracruse, but it also involves Norse pagan traditions, such as lighting fires to ward off evil spirits that emerge during the winter solstice. #FolkloreThursday
