Scandinavian Winter solstice religion and myth

[Blundstoned Love]

Now, I don't listen to Radio 3 very often, but it's not all classical music.

This series of 5 programmes might be of interest to some on here. The first one has Sami stuff and on Wodensday appropriaitely enough it's Norse myth.

Love Norse mythology... and I do like the winter solstice traditions.

Tuesday is the solstice though... shame they're not doing the Norse one til wednesday

Their Northern Lights series will be great

Not only classical, but even the classical may be worth a listen. There's some fantastic music out there.
