In this episode Eirik takes a deep dive into the ritualized home invasions once part and parcel to the Scandinavian yuletide celebrations, and the trollish mafiosi associated with it. Starting out with ill-advised discussions about unfounded heathen-ish speculations about secretly ancient (but actually modern) elements of the season as an expression of a sort of independent and nebulous "ur-pagan" reflex, after railing against logical positivism gone mad, we consider Catholic pragmatism as contrast to the war on Christmas as waged by protestant state zealotry in 18th century Denmark-Norway. Ultimately we somehow manage to make it to the yule goat/yule buck mummer's play and its variants across Fenno-Scandinavia, with local variants such as the Norwegian Lussi and Sami Stállu, with an entire bastard of a segment dedicated to the intricacies of barnyard spirits, domestic cult, obscure Norwegian dwarf lore, unspeakable Norswedian snake cults, and ample helpings of esoteric nissemaxxing and tomtebissing in between.
