Description: Forn Sed: Norse cult images at a Yule Feast. The picture shows a table with assembled Norse cult images at a Yule Feast held by the two Gothenburg kindreds Godthiod and UrNaud at 19 December 2009 at Hisingen Island, Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden. In the back row there are a painting depicting the sun-goddess Sol or Sunna, and two wooden carvings of Odin (Óðinn) and Frey (Freyr). In the middle row there are the three Norns (Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld) and five smaller carvings (the first of the five is actually the Slavic god Svetovid with his four faces). In the front row there is a red-painted carving of the thunder-god Thor (Þórr). In front of the cult images are a red candle and two ceremonial hammers. Godthiod was a kindred within the Swedish Asatru Assembly (now called Forn Sed Sweden) and most participants was (or are) members of the Swedish Asatru Assembly too.
