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

I just don't understand the gnomenclature

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

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.

The wheels are turning and time is moving; for us it is the start of a new year, but for the old gods it is part of their long sleep. The night maybe shortening but the cold still runs deep.

For get the vows we make to ourselves, honour the deep magics of the season instead — Æftera Geol-monaþ: the second passing still continues.

I don’t understand pumpkin spice, I hate the fact that it exists. Because of that I don’t want anyone to have it! Because I don’t understand it and hate the idea of it I will devote my time to stopping anyone from having it.

That sounds deranged doesn’t it? Yeah well if you’re a transphobe or homophobe that’s what you sound like. It’s you!! You sound like that!

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.

#Archaeologists in #Iceland have unearthed the country's oldest known drawing: a scratched-out piece of "#Viking graffiti" that looks like a partly drawn boat.

I’m starting a new — LoreCoin.

They are backed by factual so you know it’s solid!

You can buy LoreCoin easily, just leave a bag of cash behind the dumpsters at the old abandoned haunted house down the road.

Join me so we can waste our money together — remember our motto: Rapinis Pauperis (Looting the Poor)

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 ?

If you hear anyone say “If they can do this to they can do it to anyone” make sure you agree, because it proves that the justice system doesn’t care who you are.

Here at the folklore cafe, cis is not a slur and is positively encouraged when speaking about cis gendered people.

However, wow-be-tide if you intentionally misgender or dead name anyone! We’ll fuck you up!

As we leave Weodmonaþ (The Month of Herbs), we find ourselves ambling into Haligmonaþ (Holy Month); it is the time for harvest, the time for magic. The shadows are growing long and the deep smell of earth is in the air - for soon the wolf of winter will be nipping at our heals

When archaeologists from The #Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research conducted a last-minute excavation in Trondheim last year due to a broken sewer pipe, a surprising find was made: a soapstone gaming piece bearing a runic inscription.

The Manowick -- Part One (A Thread)

In a village nestled among ancient woods, where whispers of forgotten sorrows lingered in the wind, a dark tale took root—the legend of the Manowick.

Long ago, during a time of despair and affliction, a dreadful plague swept through the land, claiming countless lives and leaving behind anguished souls.

Legend had it that the pit where the afflicted were buried became a breeding ground for vengeful spirits, merging into a grotesque entity known as the Manowick. Born from the twisted remnants of once-forgotten souls, it sought to unleash its wrath upon the living by poisoning their precious water.

As the Manowick haunted the village, its wicked presence weighed heavily on the hearts of the villagers. Desperation consumed them, and they turned to a renowned sorcerer, known for his mastery over the supernatural, seeking aid in their plight.

With ancient texts and forbidden rituals, the sorcerer delved deep into the secrets of the Manowick. He discovered that the creature's spell could be broken, but the price for liberation was grave indeed. It demanded the sacrifice of a firstborn—the innocent life to free the tormented.

Was there ever a time that actually played music or was that some fever dream I had in the 80s?
