The Hagall rune (Younger Futhark) initially symbolizes hail and snow and, in a deeper sense (according to the existential fundamental law), that the event patterns of the past influence the present in a formative way (in the image of the devastating hail, which, after melting, refreshes and releases the green land).\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThus, Hagall symbolizes the energies that originated in the past and continue to act in the present.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIn ancient times, the solstice ceremony was performed as follows: During a certain period (varying in length regionally) before the winter solstice on December 21st, the candle stub from the previous year (which had to be kept in a special vessel throughout the year) is placed into the lantern. The still un-turned sun is symbolized by the light projection of the heart and rune in the room. The light must never go out. On the night of December 21st, the burning candle is placed on the lantern - the sun has turned, as people commonly say, ...it has passed over itself... The candle then remains on the lantern for varying lengths of time (also regionally), mostly until after the Twelve Holy Nights (January 6th) in the Alpine region. The stub of the last candle remains in that special place to light the next solstice.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIts shape symbolizes the Midnight Mountain. Due to the migration of peoples, the custom of placing a small light under the lantern as a symbol of the departing year arose from East Frisia far into Scandinavia. At the solstice - at the time of the returning light - a candle is lit on the lantern, both as a symbol of the victory of light over darkness and of the eternal cycle of creation and decay.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Yule Lantern is new and was made according to original designs from natural dark brown (almost black) clay.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is NEW GOODS, handmade.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: approx. 11-12 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: approx: 22 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial Norse world - gift idea...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#ff0000;\"\u003eVery limited edition!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"nordwelt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53696313033041,"sku":"67.003-db","price":59.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/9821\/9345\/files\/67-003-db2-julleuchter-unterseite-sonnenwende-brauchtum_16df1a70-5285-4831-a8e9-1536c6057926.jpg?v=1777988690","url":"https:\/\/nordwelt.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/julleuchter-turmleuchter-brauchtumsleuchter-dunkelbraun-fast-schwarz-keramik","provider":"nordwelt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
