...- ➡️ Scandinavian mountains Scandes with a bow and skis. Skandin-av/skandinav means Skaði's people. 'Skaði' in particular means injury or harm, and the name has the same etymology origin as the English "scatche". Scandinavian winters can be both wild, brutal and untamed – just like Skaði. Scandinavia can be referred to 'Dangerous Island' which is a good translation as it was very dangerous for southern people to travel to Scandinavia during winter.
❄ Strabo – a Greek geographer and historian born 63BC, and other historians for a long time believed that Scandinavia was an island by southern people called Skaði's island. Therefore the name Scania which is the origin of southern parts in Sweden.

↟ Vårdagjämning - Spring Equinox ↟
🇬🇧 - in comment below ⬇️
🌱 Idag infaller vårdagjämningen i Skandinavien som enligt gammal Nordisk tradition räknas som vårens första dag, när tjälen i marken snart släpper och naturen sakta fylls av pånyttfödelse. Nu går vi in i Vanernas tid – den feminina delen av året förknippat med livgivande, fruktbarhet och solen, Sunna.
🌱 Vårdagjämningen ger förebud om vår och förr i Skandinavien var det en av årets viktigaste dagar att uppmärksamma, man tände stora brasor likt vi gör än idag vid Vanadisblotet och Valborgsmässoafton. Arbetet följde årstiderna och när våren kom övergick arbetet i gårdarna i en energirik period – det är nu som vårbruket med plöjning, harvning, gödsling och sådd inleds.

↟ The Forgotten Indigenous People of Scandinavia ↟
❄️ During the last ice age, which lasted until about 12,000–10,000BC, major parts of northern Europe and Scandinavia was covered by a massive ice sheet, a continental glacier several kilometers thick. No human population could exist in the area, as it lacked both vegetation and animal life, and the climate was extremely cold.
❄️ As the climate got warmer, the ice sheet began to retreat from the southern parts, allowing new areas to become habitable. The first people who came to settle in Scandinavia were hunter-gatherers, who followed animal herds up north as the ice sheet melted, and later became the Germanic forefathers of the Native Scandinavians. The oldest traces of them are found in Sweden and Denmark (about 12,000BC). In northern Sweden, Norway and Finland there is evidence of...- continues in comment below ⬇️

↟ Native Scandinavian Americans ↟
In the year 1867 – 1869 there was a severe famine in Scandinavia, the last major one in Northern Europe. The bad harvests during these years contributed to a great emigration of native Scandinavians to America, Vinland – where the soil was more fertile and much land was given for a small amount of money.
During the beginning of the 1860s, Sweden had suffered poor harvests on several occasions, and spring and summer were much colder than usual due to long winters all over Scandinavia. In 1867 it was still snow in May, and no ships could go through the ice. It was hard to transport and distribute emergency food supplies to the already starving areas. As late as in Midsummer same year, was the first time you could start sowing – that's how cold it really was. The late spring was then followed by a very short summer and an...- continues in comment below ⬇️

↟ Something that is more precious than any gold is where the soil thrives. Native Scandinavian from Sweden with an ancient traditional instrument called Näverlur 🌲
Näverlur – Lúðrblást/Norse Hornblést (Birch Horn), is an ancient traditional Scandinavian instrument made of wood of fir and birch. The instrument is dating back 1100 years ago and the oldest Näverlur that has been found in Sweden can be tracked back as far as 900s.
The Näverlur is associated with the old Scandinavian "fäbod-culture" where it was used to attract the animals to come home, scare predators, to keep evil forest creatures away (creatures form our Scandinavian folklore), and to send different messages to other villages over long distances. The sound from a Näverlur has the capacity to travel up to more than 5 kilometres.
There are different melodies for different messages and it was...- continues in comment below ⬇️
