Editing Yule (section)

====Heitstrenging====
Both [[Helgakviða Hjörvarðssonar]] and [[Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks]] provide accounts of the custom of {{lang|non|[[heitstrenging]]}}. In these sources, the tradition takes place on Yule-evening and consists of people placing their hands on a pig referred to as a [[sonargöltr]] before swearing solemn oaths. In the latter text, some manuscripts explicitly refer to the pig as holy, that it was devoted to [[Freyr]] and that after the oath-swearing it was [[Blót|sacrificed]].<ref>{{harvcoltxt|Kovářová|2011|pp=195–196}}.</ref>
