Tomten or Nisse<\/b>Tomten<\/i>, Tomtegubben<\/i>, G\u00e5rdstomten<\/i>, Tomtr\u00e5et<\/i>, is a guardian of the farm in Nordic folklore. Tomten may also be called Tomtev\u00e4tte<\/i>, and in Sk\u00e5ne, Denmark and in Norway he is preferably called Nisse<\/i> or Goanisse.<\/i> In Sweden there is also Puke<\/i> which is a small devil, Pyske,<\/i> a small man, Hempj\u00e4ske<\/i> and Pixy<\/i>. In Finnish there is Tonttu<\/i>, which is borrowed from Swedish. Tomten are regarded as household-spirits like the Roman Penates<\/i> and Lares<\/i>, the Russian Domovoy<\/i>, the Hob<\/i> in England, the Scottish Brownie<\/i> and the Heinzelm\u00e4nnchen<\/i> in Germany. In Swedish folklore the Tomten is a kind of shadow farmer with supernatural powers who made sure that the farm attracted good luck. He was often assumed to be the first to raise that particular farm, and who does not come to rest after his death, but must constantly look after \u2018his\u2019 farm. He is described as an older man and smaller than an average human (exactly how small varies), often with a white beard, gray clothes and a hood. It was important to keep him friendly and not offend him in any way. Tomten had an angry temperament and could take revenge if, for example, one mistreated the animals or treated him disrespectfully. Above all, he watched over the animals in the stables and barn. In return for his good works, the farm owner gave Tomten a bowl of porridge. According to a later tradition, he was particularly fond of rice porridge (sweet porridge), which is why it is also called Tomtens porridge<\/i>. Legends about Tomten include how he kills a cow in anger when he doesn\u2019t get a lump of butter in his porridge, or how he is rewarded with new clothes, which, however, make him think he is too good-looking to carry on with his work. The Tomten has a lot in common with the Goblin<\/i>. Both belong to the ranks of the unruly dwarfish creatures and were said, for example, to dwell under the spring tree, and the Yard Washer is another name for Tomten. Tomten can be seen as part of the Old Norse religion that has survived syncretical with Christianity. St. Bridget warns in two places in her apparitions against honoring the \u201cgods of the tomb\u201d (tompta gudhi, tompa gudhom<\/i>); similar warnings are issued in older sermon collections and biblical commentaries.(From: Spirit Beings in European Folklore 1)https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/watch\/81184416<\/a><\/div>\n\n \n
