The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/midwinter)
Like the followers of Odin in the long-ago time, we must be strategic. We must form the wedge that can break through the shield-wall that the richest of the rich have trumped up for themselves, a barricade built with filthy lucre and made of men willing to be bought.
With just two days to go, I made use of one of my few free days to go downtown and get a few supplies: gift wrapping paper, thick craft rope, glue, and a big burlap bag. I had found out what to do: instead of having someone dressed as Santa delivering gifts, I would have someone don a homemade Yule Goat costume.
In a special Yuletide offering, Karl Seigfried addresses the god Odin, giving thanks for his gifts at Midwinter.
Our UK correspondent offers a quick round-up of Yule/Midwinter events around the United Kingdom.

Today’s column comes from your humble Weekend Editor, Eric O. Scott, who has written for The Wild Hunt since 2012. He has a PhD in English from the University of Missouri and his first novel, The Lives of the Apostates, was published by Moon Books in 2013. The Wild Hunt’s weekend section is always open for submissions. Please send queries to eric@wildhunt.org. I was in London on midwinter’s day in 2016, and at 4:30 PM it had already gone dark.
