 * The King wants to drink outside the Joel (at sea) and start the game of Freyr.

The expression Joel drinking suggests that drinking formed an integral part of the party, which on a sprinkling points, which was inherent to more ancient cults (including not least the Dionysus cult). The poet mentions in this connection also Freys leikr, "the game of Freyr", without further explanation. Freyr was a fertility deity. One can therefore assume that in each case the party with former was inherent fertility rites were also to the Freyrcultus, where later sources about messages.

Also in the Sagas about ancestries here and there is talk of Joel. But in this time range is certainly present all possible influence from the Christianization and the associated Christian events calendar. The sacrificial rituals that are portrayed by Snorri Sturluson and others are not considered authentic. One keeps them today rather for literary constructions. But the vow it made with one hand on a wild boar was sacrificed to Freyr, that then seems to be have a Christian element, even though the tradition of it relatively late in time come down to us.

In slightly later time one supports mainly on Snorri Sturluson, who mentions the Christian year celebrations of three northerners: a at the start of the winter, a second around midwinter and a third in the summer, probably at the beginning of it.

For example, there is a popular explanation of the origin of the old Norse hjól, wheel, that would be the time which the Sun wheel at its lowest point and so ready to go again climbing.

Some linguists believe that Jól from a pre-Indo-European mother tongue in the Germanic languages and further as loan word from the old Norse, comes either directly from the proto-Germanic. Others refer to Oudgallische the word "hell" that light means[source?]. That would explain the half of the word Noël . According to Le Petit Robert, however, that last word comes from the Latin "natalis (dies) ', ' birthday ' (of Christ).

One can see an evolution of that word in all Germanic and Scandinavian countries and languages: German "gelb", Norwegian "gul", Danish "gul", Dutch "yellow", Swedish "gul", frieze "gain", even the Italian "giallo", Lithuanian "geltonas" and Romanian "galben". The Middle English was old English Géol "Yole" and finally the modern Yule, while the word geolu geol or evolved to yellow. All these terms would then of the Indo-European root "ghel-", which "seem" means. The weather seem longer go opglinsteren of the Sun, the yellow of the Sun in the snow would form the basis of the expression. ==Trivia<span class="mw-editsection" len="322" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In Greece, the skakantzalos, similar to the joel block, burned; There are also burned old shoes-the smell of this would keepkallikantzaros -and one depends on food in the chimney.
