Early people had to deal with the powers of the darkness, and to help with that they called on the god, Thor. Thor was the one who was brave and powerful enough to defeat the lady of death. He is the great protector of Mother Earth and middle earth from all the powers of darkness and evil.
His wife, the goddess Sif was the goddess of grain and fertility and protector of the children.
The winter goat became the symbol of Yule. Thor would sacrifice his precious goats, then resurrect them with a blow of his hammer. This represented the resurrection of the sun and nourishment.
Tonight we remember what role we play in community and our responsibility to protect the children. It is appropriate the the focus virtue tonight is hospitality.
