Happy Solmōnaþ!
(Sol-Month)

The name was recorded by the Christian Anglo-Saxon scholar Bede in his treatise De temporum ratione (The Reckoning of Time), saying that "Sol-Monath can be said to be the month of cakes, which were offered to their Gods"

In Old English, “Sol” is mostly used to refer to soil or mud. Implying that this month is sacred to the Earth-Mother Goddess.
However, this could only be one of the meanings of the word in this context. “Sol” is also believed to mean “cake” and can perhaps be linked to the English custom known as souling. In this tradition one would go house to house and sing songs where the guests would be gifted “soul cakes” in exchange for prayers. This tradition is usually credited to be Christian, but as with most Christian traditions, this one may indeed be Pagan.

So be sure to give an offering of cakes to the Earth-Mother.

“Throughout my 30 years of working with the runes, they have taken on various aspects depending on who I was and what I was doing at the time. The best way I can try to explain them is almost as their own organisms that live symbiotically with the individual who has chosen to “take them up.”

Advisors, sages, teachers - but also sometimes potent forces of upheaval and reorganization, acting almost like a powerful hallucinogen can, to forcibly show a different perspective that may at first feel completely foreign or uncomfortable.

At other times, they seem to be like trees planted on the estate. They grow, spread root and leaf widely, and spring from small seeds, become saplings, and eventually, mighty giants that we have grown alongside and know by name and appearance, as well as the countless layers of experience we have with them.

Like the rings of a tree, the rune is a series of many circles, concentric, expanding, leading us wider and wider and then back in to the heart. They are repositories of deep, hidden information, as well as storage vessels of things that we do not wish to forget…”

From my upcoming program “Hamingja: A Runic Program of Life Reform.”

According to the recently published paper from the Harvard lab on the origins of the Indo-European languages, the roots of the Yamnaya culture is hypothesized to come out of the Mikhaylovka culture. This group which forms a bridge from Sredny Stog to Core Yamnaya, expand from Ukraine.

According to one of the paper’s authors, Losif Lazaridis, he had the following to say on his twitter account.

The Yamnaya, proximal scions of the Serednii Stih archaeological culture that preceded them in the Eneolithic North Pontic region, and more distally composed of a mix of CLV newcomers and Dnipro-Don hunter-gatherers, largely eclipsed the previous inhabitants of the steppe. 4/

The Yamnaya's precursors were formed by admixture ca. 4000BCE and experienced an interlude of relative isolation before the emergence of the Yamnaya horizon ca. 3300BCE. Our best guess of where this happened is in the vicinity of Mykhailivka in the Lower Dnipro in Ukraine. 5/

Interesting piece showing Woden wearing a headdress similar to figures from the Sutton Hoo finds. I cannot find much information about this archaeological find (?) apart from it is said to be dated to the 6th-7th century.

Bede tells us that the second moon of the Anglo-Saxon heathen year was called Solmōnaþ meaning “Sun month”. This marks the returning power of the sun goddess known in English as Sunne and in Norse as Sól and explains the Old English word for Lent, Lencten which means “lengthening” in reference to the lengthening of the days at this time of year.
Bede wrote that Sol month was the month of flat cakes which the heathen English gave in offering to their gods - presumably to Sunne specifically. These round sun cakes became the English Christian tradition of pancake day celebrated at the start of Lent.

In this video I put forward my beliefs about Odin and Galdr. I do not think that Odin got galdra from the waters of memory via Mimmir although it is tempting to see Mimir as his unnamed uncle, rather i think he got galdra from his uncle while hanging on Yggdrasil. It is possible his uncle also gave him the runes. Runes and galdra are related in an obscure way which I explain here.

In Egils saga einhenda ok Ásmundar berserkjabana, a simple offering format is outlined in a statement by a jötunn woman who is being tormented by her sisters:

Hét ek þá á Þórr at gefa honum hafr þann, sem hann vildi velja, en hann skyldi jafna með oss systrum.

I then vow to Þórr to give him a buck of his choosing, but he should make even with us sisters.

The format is:

1) Promise to the deity
2) Dedication of an animal
3) Requested action in exchange for the animal

In the instance of this saga, this is not an explicit sacrifice by the petitioner at that moment, but like in other sagas, the long-term cultivation of an animal to give as a sacrifice to the deity at the appointed time.

This is similar in function to the dedication of Freyfaxi by Hrafnkell Freysgoði in Hrafnkels saga. In a later part of the saga, the horse is sacrificed to Freyr.

A similar event occurs in Flóamanna saga, when Þorgils Þórðarson during his tumult with the god Þórr after his conversion, realizes that one of the oxen he has aboard his ship was one he dedicated to him. He had the ox thrown overboard to propitiate Þórr, as Þórr wanted what he was owed.
