“Woden id est furor.” Honoured to have received a new beautiful creation from the raw talent of @wodenstone - a sterling silver Woden head with two ravens, based off real Anglo Saxon mount findings, set with a garnet eye (my birthstone. P neat). Will be wearing this one with pride. @wodenstone has just taken a massive leap to becoming an independent metalsmith, and produces truly quality work - go check him out for all your Pictish, Celtic, Nordic, whatever-ic needs . . Whilst I don’t intend on changing my name to “Wodenscrotum” (just doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it?) anytime soon, I think it’s important to acknowledge in a time of, let’s face it, pretty obsessive fascination with Norse mythology, that there exists more to paganism and shared Germanic religions than one specific pantheon or set of myths alone. The names of the Germanic god Woden, and the Norse god Óðinn, can both be traced back to (this isn’t including many other derivations such as Wuotan etc) wōđanaz - the proto-Germanic theonym. These two figures, whilst enveloped in their own distinct mythologies and supposedly siring different lineages of kings, were undoubtedly the same god when one casts their gaze further back into the intertwined and overlapping histories of the Germanic peoples. Whilst it is undeniable that these gods are in essence, one and the same, the differing personas will have reflected important aspects of the different societies (such as Norse or Saxon) who esteemed them. I’m currently reading a fascinating book, guiltily the first one I’ve ever delved into on Anglo-Saxon history and mysticism, but I’m pretty delighted that whilst maintaining my fascination with Norse mythology (that will never fade), I’m also beginning to connect to other branches of the overarching, ancient Germanic religions that were once interchangeable, and less easily distinguished from one another. For remember, now, that we are all brothers... I’m also in the super cosy Hedeby jumper by @descendedfromodin , best gear to keep snuggly in the Arctic ❄️

Abbazia di Whitby, North Yorshire, England. L'Abbazia di Whitby venne fondata nel 657 d.C. da Oswy, re anglosassone del regno di Northumbria, con il nome di Streoneshalh. Si presume che tale nome significhi fortezza per via di un probabile antico accampamento romano precedentemente situato sul luogo. Tale ipotesi però non è mai stata accertata. Il monastero fu assediato dai Vichinghi nell'867 d.C. e quindi abbandonato. William de Percy ordinò che fosse rifondato da Reinfrid, un monaco soldato. Il secondo monastero durò finché non fu distrutto da Enrico VIII nel 1540 durante la Dissoluzione dei monasteri. L'Abbazia cadde in rovina e venne sfruttata come cava di pietra, ma rimase un punto di riferimento importante per i naviganti e fonte d'ispirazione letteraria Whitby Abbey, North Yorshire, England. Whitby Abbey was founded in 657 AD from Oswy, Anglo-Saxon king of the kingdom of Northumbria, with the name of Streoneshalh. It is assumed that this name means fortress due to a probable ancient Roman camp previously located on the site. However this hypothesis has never been ascertained. The monastery was besieged by the Vikings in 867 AD and therefore abandoned. William de Percy ordered that he be re-founded by Reinfrid, a soldier monk. The second monastery lasted until it was destroyed by Henry VIII in 1540 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The Abbey fell into disrepair and was used as a stone quarry, but remained an important reference point for sailors and a source of literary inspiration.

A Poem in Honour of King Æthelstan ________ 'Carta dirige gressus' is the name given to a short Latin poem celebrating the triumphs of Æthelstan, the first king of England. It was likely written around 927, the year in which Æthelstan captured Northumbria and received the submission of the other rulers in Britain, including King Constantine II of Scotland, at Eamont Bridge in Cumbria. The poem is modelled on an earlier one addressed to Charlemagne, perhaps hinting at Æthelstan's imperial aspirations. I've included part of the poem below, based on a translation by Michael Lapidge (M. Lapidge, 'Some Latin Poems as Evidence for the Reign of Athelstan', in P. Clemoes (ed.), 'Anglo-Saxon England', Volume 9 (Cambridge, 1981), p. 98). As you can see, the title 'Carta dirige gressus' is taken from the first line. _ "Letter, direct your steps ['Carta, dirige gressus'], sailing across the seas and an expanse of land, to the king's burh. Direct first of all your best wishes to the queen, the prince, the distinguished ealdormen as well, the arm-bearing thegns, whom he now rules with this England made whole ['ista perfecta Saxonia']: King Æthelstan lives glorious through his deeds! He, with Sitric [Viking ruler of Northumbria] having died, in such circumstances arms for battle the army of the English throughout all Britain. Constantine, king of the Scots, hastens to Britain [meaning Cumbria]: by supporting the king of the English he is loyal in his service." _ Photo: © Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford (Caedmon Manuscript, c. 1000, MS. Junius 11, f. 91). Note that this isn't a depiction of Æthelstan. ________ #medieval #middleages #history #historic #historical #art #design #heritage #culture #england #english #uk #gb #britain #british #king #royal #old #manuscript #oldbooks #book #scotland #poem #poetry #latin #illustration #cumbria #anglosaxon #europe #european
