Myths

The Wode ( Odin ), many people in the " Twelfth " see ( the nights from Christmas to Epiphany ), and especially draw on Christmas Eve. He rides a big white horse; a hunter on foot and twenty-four wild dogs follow him. Where he pulls through, because the fences fall together with a crash and the road leveled out before him; but towards morning the enclosure set up again. Some people claim that his horse had only three legs. He always rides over the same route at the doors of the houses, and so quickly that his dogs are not able always to follow him; you hear them gasp and cry. Even sometimes one of them is lying there. Thus, once found one of Wodes dogs in a yard in Wulfsdorf, another constantly howling and puffing until took back in Fuhlenhagen on fire stoves, where he had lain down, him on Christmas Eve following the Wode. That night, you must remember not hang laundry outside. The dogs would tear them apart. Also you should not bake. All residents must remain quiet at home. Leaving the doors open, the Wode pulls through, and his dogs eat everything finds himself in the home Edible. Once the Wode was also advised in the house of a poor farmer, and the dogs had eaten it all. The poor man wailed and asked the Wode, who replaced him the damage that the dogs would have done. Wode replied that he would pay for everything. Soon after, he appeared with a dead dog and ordered the peasants to throw the carcass in the chimney. That did the farmer, as bursting of the bellows, and louder bare gold pieces fell out. The Wode has a certain way he in the " Twelfth " rides every year. This leads round to Krumesse around on the Moor to Beidendorf. When he comes is roaring, the goblins have to flee because he will destroy them from the earth. An old farmer once broke late from Beidendorf on and wanted to go to Krumesse, suddenly he noticed how the goblins came running up. However, they were not afraid and cried quite cheerful: " Today he can not hurt us, he should let us in peace; he has not yet washed this morning. "

When the farmer was a bit further wandered, he met the Wode and asked him what the kids would have called. The farmer replied that she would have said that he had not first washed this morning and could harm them no harm, therefore. Since the Wode stopped his horse, dismounted and washed. Then he jumped back on his horse and galloped after the Underground. Not long afterwards saw the farmer to come back again the Wode; he had tied the poor little ones on their long hair and hanging on each side of the horse several of them. So cruel Wode has followed the Underground. Today they are all gone. Therefore, the Wode is no longer hunts on the ground, but up in the air. The Wode is in Schleswig- Holstein still well known; therefore include a lot of people during the Christmas season to the doors before him.
