In the German-speaking countries and Holland and Belgium as well December 6th is the most distinctive children's festival of the year. St. Nikolaus Eve is a time of festive stir, it is a time of whispers and giggles, and of heavy steps on the stairs. Shops are full of many-shaped biscuits, gilt gingerbreads, sometimes representing the saint, of sugar images, toys and other little gifts.

NOTE: When I was amassing the information and the images found in these pages, prior to putting them on the web, I took painstaking notes as to whom to credit, when/where credit was due. Unfortunately (and pay attention students and teachers: IT CAN HAPPEN!) my dog got into the notes and destroyed them. Happily some people have recognized their work (or the work of others) and let me know about it. So some credits, you may have noticed, have been duly recorded; others still not. SO if you see your work here, or someone's whom you know, PLEASE alert me so that I can credit him/her/them! THANK YOU

In an effort to understand how my family's Danish witchcraft tradition was originally practiced, I tried to uncover the geographical and cultural relationship between the early Danish and other local European traditions. This led me to pursue Germanic and Slavic and even Russian roots, seeking a link to the system used in Ancient Denmark and surrounding areas. The most obvious connection was to the Norse or Teutonic traditions, so I checked into that first. What I found was a puzzle that went back almost to the Last Ice Age.

The Seidre were shamanic folk who travelled from community to community speaking with the Other-world on behalf of the townspeople they visited. They would question the recently-deceased loved ones and ask favors of the gods through the town's dead kinfolk. It was believed that they were also able to obtain special favors for individuals from their passed-on relatives. Such favors might be something like a priestess who may ask that her grandmother endow her with the family's power in her physical body in this lifetime, rather than waiting for it to be bestowed on her. Many of the Germanic and Slavic peoples believed the power was passed from family member to famlily member on the death of the preceding generation's head witch- but it sometimes skipped a generation or two, and the newly-deprived head honcho of the family's witchery would likely feel inclined to ask why. The Seidre could ask this question for them.

( Lits of great links and info here) Unlike the Hungarians, as far as we can tell, the peoples who would later be known as Romanians, arrived in Europe as shepherds, not warriors. They were a peaceful nomadic people, caring for their own flocks as well as the herds of others. To the many rulers of the lands in which they lived, they were simply serfs, easily overlooked. As one musicologist has noted: Hungarians dance in boots, Romanians dance in sandals. Romanians are a quiet, earthy, smiling people who have suffered much but have never been broken.

There are numerous forms of mysticism. The majestic grandeur of nature evoked an intuitive awe in man and a feeling of unity. Some time in history members of the homo sapiens species began directing their attention inside themselves as they received indications of a magical and spiritual nature. In early cultures groups formed around a person who seemed through some strange play of nature be possessed with extraordinary powers and insights. Some call them medicine man, or shamans. In modern culture mysticism is seen as the practice of communion and adoration of man of his divine nature. It takes all forms, though. On this page an introduction to Javanese mysticism, the origins of which little is known as its early adherents committed little to writing.
