So fascinating, thank you. Here in Australia I enjoy celebrating winter Solstice in June and then the big celebration of Yule at Midwinter, which is around the 15th of July. It's a fun coincidence that the name of the month (Jul) mirrors the name for the celebration of Jul.

Thank you so much for sharing and yes, the names of the moons always leave clues! Soon I will be sharing all of the Germanic moon names, so stay tuned :)

It's such a work of art isn't it? Everything was beautifully crafted with love back then, even items that were tools or everyday objects. Nothing like the generic plastic items we have today! Thank you for reading and glad you found it interesting.
