Wyrdwayz - The World of Anglo Saxon Runes Introduction to the Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- 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 world of the Anglo-Saxons and their runes.
In around 450 BC, 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.
In this series, I look at each of the runes contained in the Old English rune poems and explore the meanings and myths surrounding each one as well as a good dose of history. My aim is to bring alive the rich culture of our heathen Anglo-Saxon ancestors. I will also be reciting each of the rune poems in Old English, a beautiful, rich language like the culture.
So, 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.

Thank you! It's great to be back : )
I have recently become very interested in the Anglo Saxons, their culture, history and wyrdwayz. This is *exactly* what I am looking for. Thank you for making this. :)
You are most welcome, Crank. So glad you are enjoying the series.
I'm so excited for this channel! I've just discovered this video, and I'm so grateful to the Gods for you, because your content is academically sound, and also rooted in my spiritual ancestry, and the path I am currently studying and exploring after having been a Celtic Pagan most my life... Now I'm connecting to my closest ancestry, and this channel is invaluable!! Please continue the series, as those of us who benefit from your wisdom are forever grateful. Blessings.

Thanks so much, Ryan. Makes all the hard work worthwhile to get comments like this. The series will definitely continue - may take longer than I hope as I am a busy working mum but it will all happen. : )
Thank you so much I really enjoyed this video. It is making sense of my ancestry....I look forward to the next video....
Thank you, Jan : )
Your story telling skills hold my interest. Thank you.
Thanks, Pat 😊
Excellent & informative video Sharyn, l look forward to more 💚✨💫
Thanks, Frank. New one coming very soon. New camcorder purchased after a failed filming attempt last week and just waiting for a break in this wet weather. I am being challenged on this one! Take care.
Interesting series. I look forward to finding more, and have subscribed. The braceate is lovely. And so are the coins. One of my (probably very distant) ancestral 5th to 8th cousins seems to have an ancestor Bryan Faussett who discovered the Kingston brooch.. My god fancy getting to touch something so precious! His family on Ancestry has portraits so you know they were well to do!! god knows how we are related, but I bet their story was more interesting than ours. Are you sure you are not related to Sharon Turner!!? Love the research you have done, and think I will enjoy the rest of the series. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I am pretty sure I am not related. I think all my Turner ancestors were labouring in the Suffolk fields from what I have discovered from my research. : )
This looks like a very pleasant woodlands you're filming in.
Thank you. Yes, it is a lovely wood and luckily not far from where I live : )
@Sharyn Turner What is the best book for the Futhorc please?
Very interesting my family are also eastanglian. Norfolk kings lynn. We also have german ancestry. And french.
Being huganots.
But i follow more the germanic side of things spent many years in east anglia in my youth.
"wyrdwayz" I LOVE IT
you are gorgeous
Thank you : )
When is the next one coming Sharyn ? 😁
I'm sorry it's taking a while. My life has been manic!! And not in a good way! Working on it now. If I manage to pull off my ambitious plans I am going to be well pleased!
Ok well hope all goes well for you, life and all its bits come first.
Hello
I was hoping you could share the source for the translation of the undley bracteate.
The translation I read was
" 'gægogæ' reward for my kinsmen".
"Gægogæ" being a chant, not a word.
Thank you.
Hi, my source was "Runic Amulets and Magic Objects" by Mindy MacLeod and Bernard Mees ISBN 978 1 84383 205 8. Hope that helps.
Excellent. Thank you sister.
@@Hamrik_Oswald you are most welcome
The collapse of the Roman Empire was around 450 AD/450 CE, not 450 BCE.
Yes, I know, thank you. That was a silly mistake!
