Repost from Wudubearu 🌲
It is imperative that we as Heathens make an argument against AI.
My friend Þorr Siðr makes a great point.
“The Gods are artisans. They shaped and prepared this realm for us, which required struggle and a great deal of violence to do. That was not an easy thing for them to do; what they made for us, was not easy to make. It took time and effort to do so. So, when someone uses this generative art and all its imperfections and imitation of reality, they don’t respect that struggle for creation that the Gods underwent at the beginning. In fact, it mocks their work, and that is why we must reject AI art.”
| 2 | An old photo that I took at the Externstein, Germany some twenty years ago. In the photo you can see the cracks and rock formations form the outline of a figure with their arms out-stretched. This is said the be Woden hanging on the World Pillar. There is even a hole on the right side of his chest suggesting he has been pierced by his spear. | 343 |
| 3 | Woden with his Ravens. Stone carving from the 11th century church at Great Canfield, Essex. | 323 |

| 5 | In English lore the Wælcyrge (Valkyrie) was the Chooser of the Slain whilst an OE kenning for Raven was Wælceásiga, also meaning Chooser of the Slain. | 345 |
| 6 | A Valkyrie pendant found in Wickham Market, Suffolk, 9-10th Century. The design on the shield is similar to the common pattern on Alemannic zierscheiben. 𖣐 | 280 |

| 10 | The dawn goddess Ēostre, why do we celebrate her at this time of the year? Isn’t there a dawn every morning?
We know that christianity co-opted her celebration, like so many other holidays as a means of conversion. This explains the date of ‘easter’ nowadays. She is a spring goddess and folk associate many spring animals and symbols with her, but our heathen ancestors only really separated the year into two seasons – summer and winter. Bede said that the heathen English started summer when the day was longer than the night and winter when night was longer than the day. So summer would have started around the spring sunstead (equinox). And this is probably why she was honoured at such time. ‘Dawn’ was the dawning of summer – the growing light and warmth that summer brings. | 170 |
| 11 | Survive the Jive in his video clip here puts forward the case that Ēostre & Freya share the same role which is why there’s no ‘Freya’ in English myth (there's reference to her necklace in Beowulf) and no Ēostre cognate in Norse. Tony Linsell in his book Anglo Saxon Runes compares Freya and Freyr with Ēostre and Ing, so makes the same argument.
All Indo-European ‘easter’ goddesses have a name which comes from the PIE h₂éwsōs ‘the dawn’, whether Ēostre, Ostara, Eos or Ushas. She is ‘born in the morning’ (perhaps relating her to Dellingr – the Dayspring god in Norse). The PIE h₂éwsōs is related to another root *h₂(e)wes ‘to shine’. Venus is this shining star - the morning star who announces days break. In English myth both Ēostre and Ēarendel are associated with the morning star. So Ēostre is further associated with the Vanir goddess Freyja as the name Venus comes from the PG *wanaz (from the PIE wenh₂) meaning ’to love’ which also gives us the words Vanir and the English Wan / Wana (Vanir). | 434 |
| 12 | Eostre is seen as a dawn goddess, but this is likely the dawning of spring, the coming new year of greenery and regeneration. We can attribute the daily dawn to Dellingr. ‘Delling’s door’ which appears in the Hávamál and Hervarar’s saga seems to be a kenning for the rising sun. But this shouldn’t be a surprise as Dellingr is the father of Day.
Delling’s name has a shared root with the OE deall which meant proud or bright and is also cognate with the ‘dallr’ in Heimdallr. This is remembered in the English place name Dalbury Lees which was once recorded as Dellingeberie and believed to be named after Dellingr. | 420 |
| 13 | It is the Even-night today – OE efen-niht, most commonly called the equinox when there’s even night and day.
Along with our libations to Ēostre (who gets her own blot in April), we will be honouring Sunne and her sister Sinthgunt, who’s name is spelt Sinhtgunt in the Merseburg Incantation. Sinhtgunt seems a bit of a mystery however the first element of her name may be connected to the proto-Germanic *sinnahtī meaning ‘forever-night’ which gave us the OE name Sinnihte ‘ever night’. Perhaps Sunne and her sister are ‘light of Day’ and the ‘darkness of Night’. Sinhtgunt may even be the goddess Nott (night) herself? If so, today their powers are in balance. | 703 |
| 14 | Two 12th century pictures from the Schleswig cathedral murals, Germany. The first figure has characteristics we associate with Frīg who can be seen flying on her broom (or distaff). The second figure riding a cat and blowing a horn probably depicts the goddess Freya. | 520 |
| 15 | Our modern word spring replaced the OE word lencten (also spelt lengten), the name for the spring season which came from the Germanic root langatīn meaning longer-day, a reference to the growing length of sun light which peaks at the sunstead. Christians took the name for Lent, but its first meaning was the name of the season. | 482 |

| 18 | I addition to Sagnamaðr Stark’s post above – we find that another name for Jörð (Earth) is Fjörgyn who appears as Fyrgen in OE. Both Fjörgyn and Fyrgen come from the proto-Germanic fergunją, from the PIE *pérwr̥ 'rock, mountain' or *perkʷ meaning 'Oak tree'. Fjörgyn is described as Thor’s mother which suggests that Fyrgen / Fjörgyn are also names used by the All-mother Frīge. | 1 874 |
| 19 | Is Jörð another name of Frigg? I believe so.
In Sæmundr Fróði’s Nóregs Konungatal, the earth is referred to as Odin’s wife multiple times.
Kennings he uses include;
Hárs Vífi: Hárr’s Wife
Þundar beðju: Þundr’s bedmate
Yggs mani/mani Yggjar: Yggr’s girl
One of Jörð’s epithets is Hlóðyn, the etymology of which is unclear; but quite possibly cognate to Hlín, an epithet of Frigg in the Völuspá, along with continental Holda and Frau Holle. Hlín refers to a handmaiden (or aspect?) of Frigg in the Gylfaginning, but in the older Völuspá, it’s another name of Frigg.
And, similar themes appear in other Indo-European religions, with the Earth Mother elevated to the position of Queen of Heaven through Her marriage to the Sky Father; for example, Sáti is reborn as Parvati in Her marriage to Shiva.
The name Frigg means beloved, cognate to the Sanskrit name Priya; Odin’s beloved. Frigg maintains a connection with the earth; Her hall is called Fensalir, Fen-Hall.

| 20 | Wild daffodils are native to England and are known as the flower of March. They were once known as the Lide-lily or Lide-flower, later becoming the Lent-lily. Lide comes from Hlyda which was another name for March (Hrēðmōnaþ). Hlyda (possibly meaning the loud) is attested in the OE Leechdoms ‘thone Martius the menn hatath Hlyda’ (March, which is called Hlyda). | 607 |
