Christian saints, Norse gods, and magic mushrooms: myths of Santa Claus
Manage episode 350514542 series 2882256
Yes, Christmas is grossly commercial, a taint that touches other year-closing holidays as well. And yet this time, and these traditions, have deep mythological roots that connect us to important gifts of the spirit.
The mythic figure of Santa Claus reveals the tangled history of our year end aspirations and need for community. I hope this snapshot of some of his origin stories adds interest and inspiration to your holiday season.
Warm wishes for a wonder-filled season. See you in 2023!
