Something Missing?

A Vanir is a Norse fertility god of wisdom and fertility.

This Vanir is the embodiment of a Norse Pagan God who, in return for a sacrifice, granted the presenters with wealth, security and protection from all that is bad. In ancient times, the villagers would build an effigy in their fields for the god to possess. It would often resemble a scarecrow, and it was used by the god to collect its sacrifices. Its sacrifice pattern required a male and a female, and followed an annual cycle. Each Vanir was linked to a sacred tree. The tree was the source of its power; if the tree was destroyed, then the god would die.

Centuries ago, One such Vanir was transported to America by colonists to present-day Indiana, forming the town of Burkitsville. The residents of Burkitsville falsely told traveling tourist couples that the backlight of their car needed repairing and would be ready by sundown. During this time they fed the tourists a "last meal" to fatten them up for the Vanir, similarly to turkeys at Thanksgiving. The Vanir possessed a scarecrow at which time it patrolled the orchard for its two sacrifices.
