TNP291 {REPLAY} Yuletide Miniseries #9 The Wild Hunt and the Restless Ancient Dead
Episode 294
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
Welcome to this fun and convenient replay of my Yuletide Miniseries! In this episode: Ancestral veneration is a key function of winter rituals, a way to put our lineages in good order, encourage harmonious relations with the spirits of the ancient dead, and appease the restless dead who roam at night. On this night, we tell scary ghost stories that might include child-devouring crones, beer-stealing werewolves, dictator dogs and violent Santas. It's also a good day to honour the animal familiars who help convey gifts and goodness including flying goats, female deer, and horse skeletons. There are also lighter aspects to the day including the reverence of Freya, hanging wreaths, and sacred spinning, weaving and fibre work.
