From Solstice to Santa: The Pagan Transformation of Christmas Traditions

by Heinrich Wilson

Ever wonder why we hang shiny baubles on a dead tree or why Santa, a jolly old man, sneaks into houses at night?

Heinrich Wilson takes you on a witty, eye-opening journey through the strange evolution of Christmas - from pagan winter solstice rituals and Norse gods on flying horses to Christian rebranding and today's glittering consumer chaos.

With sharp humor and surprising facts, this book unpacks how ancient fertility rites, sun worship, and drunken celebrations quietly slipped under the banner of Christmas - and why we still dance to their tune under the mistletoe.

Both educational and entertaining, this is the ultimate guide for anyone who loves history, mythology, and questioning why we celebrate the way we do.

Autorenporträt

Heinrich Wilson is a self-styled cosmic provocateur, weaving satire, myth, and a dash of conspiracy into irreverent tales of humanity's greatest screw-ups. Equal parts historian-wannabe and stand-up philosopher, he's spent years digging through dusty legends, UFO files, and corporate press releasesthen reassembling them into laugh-out-loud narratives that ask the questions everyone else was too polite to mention. When he's not rewriting the origin story of civilization, you'll find him arguing with algorithms, hunting down misplaced ancient artifacts (or tacos), and plotting the sequel that explores spirits, ghosts, and the ultimate ghost in the machine.
