Idunna #98

Our "German Yule" issue of IDUNNA (Winter 2013, issue #98) focused on winter customs and traditions from Germany. Here you'll find Andreas Zautner's encounter with the Hullefrauen, Ines Hardy's celebration of a heathen Yuletide in the city of Chemnitz, and Leticia Andreas's report on the Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market) of Dresden. Michaela Macha reports on the Asatru Ring, a fast-growing Heathen organization based in Frankfurt but with members worldwide, and Rob Schreiwer describes Yule (Yuulzeit) traditions from the Pennsylvania German culture of the United States. Winifred Hodge Rose contributes Part 7 of her continuing exploration of Germanic soul-lore, and Ann Carlson reflects on learning Old High German. Plus you'll find fine seasonal poetry, a tale for children by John Mainer, the usual columns, book and music reviews, and more!
