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.
So, here we begin a look at the Anglo-Saxon rune Wen - the rune of joy. After initially scratching my head and wondering what I could possibly find to talk about, I soon realised that actually, there is a lot that can be said about this. Hence my first-ever five-parter episode! We start this episode by looking at the poem and the words which are used to convey the message. Through exploring what the Anglo-Saxon people required in order to experience joy, I examine family structures within Anglo-Saxon England, and then we take a peek at a Pagan Blood Ritual in Old English.
So now let us raise a drinking horn and take a step back in time 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.

Do you know any thing about the Saxon family named Ainslie? I've been studying my family history. I know they used to have lands in Scotland and England
No, I am sorry. I'm afraid I don't.
