Old as sīn

In certain dialects of Old English, there were two ways to express 'his' and 'her'. Beside his and hire, there was sīn (pronounced ‘seen’), but this pronoun was reflexive: it could only refer to the subject of the sentence. My new infographic and the article below tell you the whole story.

On my Patreon, everyone – including free members – can read a detailed explanation (1200 words) of this system, which also compares it to Latin. If you subscribe to tier 2, you can listen to the reconstructed pronunciation of the phrase and all historic words.

Hel Mary prints in 8x10 and 5x7 are officially available online!

These are a great option if you don’t want to spend the money on a physical piece, or may not have the space in your living or altar situation.

I’m still winding down from the market today, but I will start to add the newer physical pieces I have as soon as I can get some good pictures 🤍

Runes in witchcraft

In witchcraft, runes are often used as divinatory tools or symbols of magical significance. They are an ancient Germanic alphabet with each character carrying its own unique energy and meaning. Many practitioners use them for guidance, spellwork, or meditation, drawing on their individual interpretations and associations with each rune.

Gotischen Adlerfibeln

This pair of so called “eagle” brooches, were found in Rhenen, the Netherlands. Their origin however comes from many kilometers away, either being Visigothic (Iberian Peninsula, broadly Spain) or Ostrogothic (Northern Italy to Ukraine).

The grave’s early date might suggest that this person was a first generation “immigrant”, having moved from the Gothic to Merovingian empire and lived a full life there.

Gothic brooches depict the bird with a round belly, open wings and a triangular tale, being symmetric from the neck down. The head in profile, faces to the side. A pair of brooches in this fashion face each other when being worn. They were worn on the shoulders and were most often heavily decorated in gold and garnet, but less intricate examples exist, such as this one.

A mix of four verbs

Am, are, is, was, were, been - how can the verb to be have so many different forms? To be is actually a mix of four entirely different verbs. Over time, they came to constitute one verb. The chart shows how to be and its sister verbs in six other Germanic languages evolved from Proto-Germanic.

Patrons who subscribed to tier 2 of my Patreon can download an audio file of me reading the Proto-Germanic and medieval verb paradigms in their reconstructed pronunciations here.

Hello All!

After a long time away, I have returned to Tumblr. Been wanting a way to connect with others of my kind.

I adore the Gothic and the Mythological. With a dash of Science Fiction Fantasy

Gizur challenges the Huns | The Battle of the Goths and Huns

by Peter Nicolai Arbo

"Neither the Huns nor their hornbows make us afraid!" The Geatish king Gizur challenges the invading Huns to a pitched battle on behalf of the Goths, from the Scandinavian epic poem Battle of the Goths and the Huns, which preserves place names from the Gothic rule in South-Eastern Europe.
