@wihtlore@thefolklore.cafe

British early #medieval #historian (pre-christian to christian transition) turned #folklorist and #storyteller . I have a mission to re-enchant my home, the #IsleofWight by telling the stories that were taught to me & the ones that the wind whispers in my sleep. A little bit obsessed with the #Jutes , early medieval art, a whole lot obsessed with old #gods & "#AngloSaxon" #saints(especially local & unattested). Join me as I tell my stories; nothing is made up, just remembered differently.

I have been away for a while, I’ve been quite I’ll and had to have some serious surgery, but I’m starting to come back now. X

I get confused with the differences between elves, fairies & pixies.

I just don't understand the gnomenclature

I know I’ve quiet, but I’ve been working on a concept album for the magic year for the Jutish / Anglo / Saxon people. I have just finished the music for Mōdraniht — Mother’s Night (tonight) where we celebrate the great mother goddesses: Frigg, Hreða and Éostre.

Who wants to hear it?

I was taken into hospital yesterday and it turns out I have colitis, lucky me. On the mend though.

And so the season of the long shadows begin: Can you feel the shades? The boneyards are yawning and the hungry dead are moving.

So many idiots in this world — one guy on Reddit complaining that has gone .

What the hell? Where has that moron been for the last 43 years?!

Where’s the revolution?

Who remembers that mortifying moment at school when you accidentally called the teacher Mum?

Not sure I’m over it, even after 45 years.

Tonight I am holding a lecture online about How Jesus Became God, it felt really good writing this.

Shall I record it and put it online?

I want to be notable enough that someone makes a Wikipedia page for me and the first line will begin with “Well known liar…”

What happens when all the content in the world is made by AI and then the AI’s have to keep being “trained”? I’m guessing they will just be trained on other AI content and content will keep getting stranger and weirder and more soulless.

I think I should write this story…

When will someone do a modern adaptation of The Tripod Trilogy?

Our adorable son, reading his book while sitting in a tree, waiting for his sister.

I bought a chest made out of brass and tin today, it was very unusual looking and on £5.

Amy just opened it and found these books in there. I am so very curious to get home and look at them.

Anyone heard of Virtue’s Household Physician ?

Just watched Nemesis for the first time in 20 years. Yeah it’s not brilliant, but it’s fun enough. Doesn’t deserve all the hate — a lot of it, just not all.

Some delightful feedback on YouTube today. I think I have made it pretty clear that you should never trust a word I have to say -- have I not?

Just like to say I’m legitimate person.

Just a friendly reminder: Homework is NOT a statutory requirement and there is not a legal requirement for schools to set homework. Most importantly parents are NOT required by law to make their children complete it.

wihtlore, to history

This is a big deal.

It was the first official account of Elizabeth I’s reign, one of the most valuable sources on early modern Britain, commissioned by her successor, King James I. But, for 400 years, no one has been able to read passages on hundreds of pages of this manuscript because they had been so heavily revised and self-censored by their 17th-century author, apparently to avoid punishment for offending his patron.

I’m ready for Autumn and want the clocks to go back. I want to curl up in bed and complain about the cold in my joints.

I dream of the season of long shadows… The deep magics are held there; the spectres and shades live there.

I’m read to go back. Are you?

So apparently Trump is being “incited for you…” like some sort of crime loving Jesus?

Is it just me or isn't the whole idea of worshiping something or someone a bit weird?

If I was super magician and could do anything, do you think I'd want a bunch of stinky humans to worship me?

Dunno, maybe I would be so fragile that I would want that.

Now that the right want to ban pronouns, when will they ban fronted-adverbials? I mean if they're going after grammar, then please go after things that really suck. While they're at it, can they get rid of semi-colons? Those things are the worst.

Rædgiefa The Fox King

A new track from my up-coming album about the old gods and the magic of the year; each song will come with a short story about it. I am hoping to produce a physicals book and some form of physical media for the music.

Tomorrow I am sitting down with my vocalist to go through the first 5 songs and maybe lay down some demo tracks.

This song is about the Fox King, Rædgiefa -- The Giver of Good Counsel. It is said that he comes to those that need him, not when they seek him.

He spreads the deep magics of the Old Gods and protects the wisdom of ages gone. He protects the sacred burial site of the last British Pagan King, Arwald, where he rest until needed again on the Isle of Wight.
