The Homestead Man
Perhaps one of the most persistent, resilient and unappreciated of all deities is none other than the diminutive house god known as Tomte or Nisse, The Homestead Man. Descriptions of these Gods of The Home range from being but a few inches tall to nearly half the size of a grown man, faces hidden beneath large white beards, heads topped with woven or pointed caps, with stout bodies proudly adorned in typical farmers garb and work writes of their region, though a few sizes too small for any human to enjoy.
Why is the Tomte so important? Why he is not one God but many!
He; for it is always a he, is most commonly one of the many ancestral spirits from which the owners of the homestead descend. Often, but not always, the Tomte which chooses to aid; and he does choose, to safeguard his families interests was the first to tend the land or might be the soul of a departed loved one buried in any of the many mounds; both known and forgotten, which dot the realm. Each Tomte is its own entity, individuals all, each with his own distinct personality and passions, though what they have in common is their station. They often delight in tending to both the land and home helping keep their family in good standing as best they can. Being humble and giving by nature, these House Gods do not ask much, often contenting themselves to making their own private space in the pantry, a forgotten corner of the barn or even workshop. Their dedication to their families is such that it is not unheard of that if their families are forced to move to the city, that they very well might follow them contenting themselves to finding space under the floorboards to remain near.
They do all this out of Love, Love for their family, and of course Love of Porridge!
All of this "good fortune" however relies on the mortals making sure their Dear Little Relative is appreciated, and so is less luck and more skill and appreciation.
