As a Heathen parent, what will I teach my kids about Santa…
I will teach them that Odin was syncretized with St. Nicholas of Myra in the Netherlands, who was known as an anonymous gift giver, which gave rise to the softened caricature we now know as Santa.
I’ll teach them that while there’s no jolly old man who will literally come down the chimney and leave presents, what lies beneath this caricature is absolutely real; Odin riding through the night sky with our ancestors in winter, the Álfar/Elves, in the Wütende Heer, and they will bestow the kinds of gifts that are blessings you may not immediately be able to see, and reason he’s able to visit all the children of our folk is because underneath this caricature is a God. 
I’ll also teach them that leaving out milk and cookies is a modern remnant of pagan Jólablót sacrifices and leaving out offerings for the Wild Hunt in winter, and we’ll leave out an offering with a proper a blót ceremony before bed.

Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?

Date: |

In the past, it was noticed that through bulk SMSes, investors were induced to invest in or purchase the stocks of certain listed companies. Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." A Russian Telegram channel with over 700,000 followers is spreading disinformation about Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the guise of providing "objective information" and fact-checking fake news. Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts. False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects.
