Please like and subscribe. It is really appreciated. Welcome to Wyrdwayz. Following on from my last runic series about the Elder Futhark and the runic wheel of the year, I bring you Wyrdwayz, where we delve into the wonderfully tantalizing world of the Anglo-Saxons and their runes.
In around 450 CE, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, migrants from the continent began crossing the North Sea and settling in Britain. These warrior farmers brought with them a runic alphabet. When on British soil this alphabet grew and evolved to become the Futhorc.
Welcome back to part two of this episode about the Anglo-Saxon Rune Wen - the rune of joy and happiness. I figured that no episode about this Rune would be complete without a trip to the Mead Hall. The early medieval people of England had a word for the joy that one experiences when in the confines of the mead hall - seledrēam - hall joy - and that's the concept I will be exploring in this episode. From how they entertained themselves to what they were drinking.
So, pull up a bench, raise your drinking horn and take a step back in time with me to the days when the Old Gods were worshipped from the top of every hill and the people lived in harmony with the spirits of the land. Despite some people saying that the heathen religion did not survive the migration, I aim to show how the pagan faith lived on through the common people.

Please like and subscribe. It is very much appreciated. I am not a historian and everything I bring you is from my own solo studies and my own experiences. It is a passion of mine and I am happy to be sharing the wonderful world of the Pagan Anglo-Saxons with you. I am on a one-woman mission to show that the world of the Pagan Anglo-Saxons was every bit as rich, interesting, and spiritual as the world of the Norse Vikings which tends to get all of the focus these days. I would also like to say, that I am but a student of the Old English language and it is a lifetime's pursuit.
Ic þoncie ēow ēowre gehyrnesse (thank you for your attention)
Ferað wel and bēoþ hale!

Aye nice video! I'm no longer a Christian and now I'm seeking out what me forfathers used to believe. I'm a Saxon ❤.
Hey, that's great to know 😊
You seem to have worked so hard and put so much into these videos. Thank you.
Would be good to have a mead hall for gatherings, thank you again for your knowledge. I would love to lern my language so far I've learnt more from your vids. Thank you.
Hello, are you in London? I'm interested in the language too .....
Hey, no I am in Somerset. But if you are interested, send me a message via my website. There are some very good resources out there for those keen enough to attempt Old English 😊
Thanks, Stephen. It is my dream to one day have myself a real Mead Hall. Well, you have to dream, don't you? 😊
@@wildwoodrunester lol, thanks for your messages. I'm not great with technology but in the coming days I'll attempt to go to your website. It would be great to join a reenactment group which included the Anglo Saxon language. Great fun and a fantastic education. A mead hall. Open and I'll visit ...... Dreams can turn to reality .......

Yes. :)
Yes, indeed it is - ond ic þancie þē 😊
How would I go about learning some basic Old English? Any good book/cd packages available or online resources?
Brad, there are definitely resources out there. Drop me a message via my website and I will see if I can help.
