Og ja, måske er internettet blevet noget rod de sidste år, men der er stadig mange ting, som er brilliante. Så når jeg begynder at stave mig lidt rundt i en angelsaksisk tekst, så er der selvfølgelig nogen, som har lavet en brugbar angelsaksisk ordbog, jeg umiddelbart kan slå op i. Det er man jo nødt til at elske.

"I Kveld blev der banket paa Helvedes Port" trækker mig så over i Grundtvigs forhold til den angelsaksiske litteratur. Der nusser jeg så for min fornøjelses skyld rundt i hans forhold til "Beowulf" og får bekræftet, hvad jeg godt vidste, men delvis havde glemt, at Tolkien kendte Grundtvig godt og lå tæt på ham i forståelsen af "Beowulf".
Måske skriver jeg i virkeligheden om Grundtvig, fordi jeg er rollespiller og fantasylæser.

Today is St Ethelburg’s Day!
Or it's sometimes recorded as 9th July. We can celebrate on both days!
6th February is also the feast day of her husband, King Ine.
Ethelburg. Queen of Wessex. Battle leader. Traveller. Pilgrim. Nun.
There's a whole chapter about the fascinating Ethelburg in Unsung Women in Somerset. Out now! books2read.com/unsung

It's time for #OldEnglish #WordOfTheDay and also the #AngloSaxon unattested #Saint of the month.
gomel-ferhþ [ ᚷᚩᛗᛖᛚᚠᛖᚱᚻᚦ ]: old sprit / old soul / wise heart or mind
gomel: Advanced in age, aged, old, ancient
ferhþ: 1. life 2. heart ; spirit ; mind
This is sometimes associated with people of great and deep magic. People of great wisdom and compassion.
An unattested #AngloSaxon saint from northern #Kent, Ædgingra (Blessed Vassal / Disciple), was said to be a gomel-ferhþ. He was known as a local healer and one who was very skilful in the arts of healing magics.
One story goes he was visiting the Kentish village of Hartlip, where when to pray under a tree and passed away peacefully.
After several days the villagers approached him and realised he had died. However, this body had not attached any flies and did not smell. In stead of disturbing him, they brought earth to where the rain kneeled and buried him. This became the spot there St Michael and All Angels Church was built.
They say, that during the rebuilding process in the early 1500s, as they dug down into the foundations, the body of the local saint was found, still in perfect condition.
