The Sage of Einar

Chapter 323: Start of the New Yule Festival

Einar, who was in the central square, prepared everything for the new Yule festival, because of the large number of Christians, it was not possible to celebrate as it was done before.

But it would not be correct to delay it to be able to celebrate it on December 24, so Einar concluded that the best thing would be to celebrate two celebrations.

On December 21, the Yule festival would be celebrated, changing its meaning to the day the giant Ymir died.

While on December 24, the day of the birth of Christ and the creation of Midgard by Odin would be celebrated.

The procession would continue to be done in the same way, the trunk of the Yule would continue to be burned, and pine trees would be used to decorate.

But the sacrifice of the goat was replaced by throwing liquor and wheat on the ground as a way of thanking for all the good of the year.

Regarding food, Einar prepared sheep burritos, because he did not plan to use much meat because he needed all the animals to establish a stable livestock for the nation.

During the afternoon, all public places were adorned with beautiful pine trees, and slave winds worked hard to make flour tortillas.

While other slaves were preparing the dozens of sheep that were slaughtered for the festival.

Einar, for his part, prepared the clothes for his wives and children, Vilhelm, would also be participating in the ceremony, who was curious to see the Yule festival.

For his part, Yaasir was walking the streets of Asgard while writing down everything he saw.

‘8 Dhu l-Qa’ Da 216, Yawm al-‘ahad.

This day seems special because Einar celebrates an event in honor of the death of a giant with which the world they call Midgard was created.

It is curious how King Einar created two religions with him as a base. Although his ideas are interesting, his Christian religion seems to be created to make a radical change.

Mainly, it eliminates the need for churches because, according to him, God listens to them that way because it is everywhere.

It is a clear break from the Christian traditions of Rome, but I think that is precisely why it can be a true ally.

The use of their religion will create a powerful system in the Christian church. Perhaps this will not destroy them, but it will prevent Christians from having dominance of the northern part of the continent.

Although I’m sure no one will recognize the Einar man as a messiah or prophet.

I think the books could refer to him as a valuable ally for the Muslim world, but that will be it. His ideas of wanting to be sent from God are dangerous ideas.

That no person should do, however, I have to admit that the world will advance better with its reforms and changes in society.

Not to mention, his inventions will be very well received in the Emirate of Córdoba and the Abbasid Empire.

I believe that a new era of mutual support will be born, which is good because it is always better to have allies than enemies.

But one of the things I don’t understand is why Einar would spend so many resources to be able to give food and clothing to so many slaves.

The white clothes that children and adults wear make them look very good, but I do not understand why to do that, the concept of the nation I cannot understand.

I hope that in the future you can understand all the things that he is doing, especially the constitution, that document of guarantees for everyone is something surprising. ‘

At night, all the slaves formed around the road where Einar and all the Nordics who believed in the Nordic religion would pass.

Einar walked, holding a small clay pot that gave off a beautiful purple fire.

He began his journey from the docks to the central square, so on the way all the Christian slaves looked at him with devotion.

This, because of his clothes and the purple fire in his hands, made him look quite mystical.

All of them were grateful to be alive, so they could see Einar doing a ritual like that.

After walking for a while, the noise of some ceremonial drums could be heard so Helmi who was waiting for everyone.

He handed over the Yule log to Aila who, as High Priestess, placed it on the pile of logs to be lit.

Asgot then took the bowl of purple fire from Einar and lit the pile of wood. The noise of the drums beginning to increase in intensity.

While Helmi, Kassia and Laisa rang some bells to indicate the beginning of the sacrifice to the earth.

At that moment, Einar walked to a platform where he was holding a golden cup and a fist of wheat.

On the platform, he threw Liquor and Wheat to the ground. At that moment, the noise of the drums reached the end and Einar looked at all his people with seriousness as he spread his hands.

“Today we celebrate the death of the primeval giant, Ymir, is because of which our world was created.

Midgard before that was a lifeless fireball, but thanks to Odin and his brothers the giant died and life could be born.

But we don’t just celebrate that … “

Yaasir, who was listening to everything, wrote down in his diary.

‘Then he throws liquor into a golden and wheat cup with his hand. It seems to be a kind of ritual to thank the earth.

I had heard of ceremonies like those celebrated by the ancient Celts, but this is the first time I have seen anything like this.

The noise of the drums, the lights, and the atmosphere make it look something quite interesting to see.

But despite everything, it is only a party celebrated by them, although the one who seems to be more interested in it is the king of what is called Ireland.

Vilhelm is a traditional Norse leader with many shortcomings, unlike King Einar.

It is interesting to be able to see the evolution of the Nordic traditions into something more modern and advanced … ‘

Yaasir interrupted his writing when a slave approached to offer him pine tea and a lamb burrito so that he could eat.

“Lord Yaasir, the herald specially prepared these foods, they are not dedicated to any god and the death of the animal was quick and painless.

I hope you can enjoy your food. If you have a special request, do not hesitate to look at me. I will be waiting in that tree in case you need something from me. “

Yaasir was flattered by the respect they were offering him, so he made a small silent prayer and proceeded to eat his food.
