ArchivesRe: Jola
in reply to a message by chazda
I'd be careful quoting this site, looks a bis mystic to me (and commercial of course). I haven't been able to find a valkyr by the name Jola. But in a dictionary of mythology I came across this:
Jolareid: Norwegian for > Asgardreid
Asgardreid: lit. "horrible ride". In northern Mythology: wild chase of supernatural beings, sweeping away wanderers at night. Also > Jolareid in the context of the dangerous midwinter (> Jul)
Jul: Important feast of fertility (and some cult of the dead) celebrated in winter by the Teutons.
I'm not sure whether this is what the site mentioned above had in mind. All I know is JOLA as a short form of Jolanda/Jolantha.
