These two posters feature bold quotes from BEOWULF accompanied by the Ethel/Odal rune.

"WYRD GOES AS EVER IT MUST"

"LET HE WHO IS ABLE ACHIEVE HONOUR BEFORE DEATH"

A limited quantity of each are available in my web shop now!

Thais uphold a custom of appeasing land wights much like that of our pagan ancestors. They make little houses for the spirits called san phra phum and make offerings to the wights to appease them.

My brother lives there on a farm with his Thai wife and daughter who I am going to visit next month.

They held a ceremony for the land wights after construction work was completed. The old man in the photo was the one who invited the spirits back to the land.

You can see there are 2 little houses in the picture. One is the shrine of the household gods, a domestic altar used for honoring protective spirits to ensure family safety and prosperity. In Ancient Rome, this was the lararium for Lares, in England they were called Cofgodas “cupboard gods”.

The Romans carried out their household rites in the lararium, a little sacred space within the house dedicated to the protector deities of the hearth and the family.

Lares, Penates and Genii were worshipped in the lararium; the rites were generally performed by the head of the household (pater familias) for the benefit of the family nucleus, the property and activities in general.

This bracteate from Tønder, Denmark, may depict Ullr.
The inscription on the right reads “uldaul”; could be an early spelling of Ýdalir, and/or Ullr’s dale, and the one on the bottom would similarly read “ulldal” backwards. The figure even looks like He could be standing on skis.

The other house in the pic is an ancestral shrine for old ghosts of people who lived there before, like the Hustomtar in Scandinavia, and also for the land wights that inhabit the land itself. Thai people believe there are spirits on every piece of land.

Prior to construction there was an old spirit house at which the family made an offering. That night my sister in law dreamed of an old man who resembled the doll idol within the spirit house. He instructed her to keep the idol which they intended to replace, to restore and maintain the spirit house and in return he would make the land fruitful and protect her daughter of whom the wights are apparently fond.

My sister in law agreed to build a new spirit house if the wight never came into her house again, as it scared her.

So today the new spirit house was inaugurated and the wights were appeased with an offering of a pig’s head, a chicken and some whiskey.

Such is the perennial nature of the most ancient ways.

The Cofgod, “Gods of the Room,” and the Ancestor Cult.

Part 1

The Cofgod is the Anglo-Saxon God of a household. A close comparison can be made with the Germanic “Kobold,” though this is no one-for-one equivalent, those being more closely related to the “Pūcan” of Medieval England. A closer match is the “Nisse/Tomte” of Scandinavian folklore, and the “Domovoy” of Slavic tradition.

To those of a Classicist background the direct comparison would be the “Penates.” This is probably the closest comparison from the little that we have on the Cofgodas (indeed it is used as an Old English transliteration of the Penates). In the Roman tradition the Penates were the primary deity invoked in domestic rituals. They would receive a portion of every meal in the hearth to ensure that families fortunes would be maintained or (if pleasing to the Penates) rise.

Gårdlösa Fibula

An interesting grave find of a Migration Era woman, the fibula seems much less ornate than many similar finds from the era.

Of note is the proto-Norse runic inscription which states, rather simply, “Ek, unwodz” or “Ek, unwodR” (depending on which nomenclature you prefer). This essentially translates to “I, Unfrenzied” or “I, the Calm”.

It is rather formulaic for Elder Futhark inscriptions to follow this format, starting with Ek (I) and featuring a name. A classic example of this is the inscription found on one of the Golden Horns of Gallehus. What makes this inscription interesting is the “unwodz”, which contains the root of the most famed Germanic God known in modern times as Odin (known in Proto-Germanic as Wodanaz or Woðanaz).

This article examines a monumental structure in the North Pontic Steppe that was repurposed as a burial mound in the late fourth millennium BCE. The authors argue that this repurposing reflects a pattern of Yamna appropriation of ritual spaces, conceptualised as a ‘continuity of sacred spaces’.

Bell Beaker folk did the same thing later in Britain, appropriating the megalithic religious structures of the previous inhabitants for their IE religion

This new range of garments has the dragon slaying hero Sigurd from DR-BR55 bracteate -sucking dragon blood from his thumb so he can, like Odin, perceive the speech of birds. The magical runes say SALUSALU - a curious repetition referring to a sacrifice. Shirts can be seen here and sweaters are here.

This 3D bronze figure was found on the Swedish island of Öland. Dated 1st-5th century AD, it shows a male with typical Germanic bowl cut hair and shaped pointed beard. Two other male faces emerge from his chest.

Are these the horse twins like the Alcis mentioned by Tacitus or the Anglo-Saxon divine progenitors Hengest and Horsa being born from the Sky Father Wodinz?

This bronze figurine fitting was found in 1865 at Frøyhov in Norway, a place name indicating a cult of Freyr. The object dates to 160-190 AD and has an elder Futhark runic inscription which is one of the oldest ever found. It may have been fitted to a sword.

It is sometimes translated as a name, 'Inga(n)da', which features the other name of the god Freyr "Ing". Germanic *ing seems best to be etymologised as a reflex of PIE *h2neḱ-/h2nenḱ- ‘reach, attain’ and the Frøyhov form may either be a maker’s inscription or a theonym, and the figurine itself is likely to be an image of InguiFreyr
