I had the honour of contributing a guest blog for the OG(H)AM Project of the University of Glasgow! In my post, I explore the fascinating intersection of history and mythology by looking at Ogham, the ancient Celtic script, and its surprising role in Alfred the Great fanfiction. 📜✨👑

Super proud that my article "The Multilingual Tapestry of King Alfred Fanfiction" was published in Etudes Médiévales Anglaises (ÉMA, ISSN : 0240-8805). 🥳
It's the first scholarly paper for which I translated from several Asian languages, so a personal milestone. With many thanks to my friends from @japanfans and the Japans Cultureel Centrum Utrecht for their help. You make me happy. 🥰

Here's a #postcard showing the University of Winchester. Founded in 1840 as the Winchester Diocesan College, from 1928 to 2004 it was King Alfred's College
I'm currently reading the Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell, in which said Alfred has a central role. Hence today's share!

Panic in Detroit (David Bowie), as I had to hand over my "I am autistic"-button at the airport security... for it was a " sharp object" . 🙁
But... I made it to #kalamazoo! Cannot wait for the International Congress on Medieval Studies to start!
Of course, I also brought one of my flutes with me, for some neomedieval entertainment. 😉

Today we are going to be talking about the enigmatic St Wite (aka Candida/Gwen/Blanche) of #Dorset (feast day of 1st June)
This #saint is venerated in both the Catholic and Orthodox traditions under her latin name "St Candida", but within the Anglican communion she is known as St Wite -- patron saint of Dorset.
This seems to be a reoccurring theme when it comes to the saints I speak about: Although we don't know a lot about her, her story has been passed down through the centuries though oral traditions. This history has been recorded by the local people Whitchurch Canonicorum (The village is named after their local saint)
Local tradition says that she lived as a hermitess on the rocky cliffs and would light beacons to guide sailors safely home. She was martyred by Danish #Vikings while defending the people of Dorset and #KingAlfred himself.
The Viking cut off the saint's head which rolled down the hill. When the head came to a stop, a miraculous spring appeared.The waters were said to cure blindness; the well (St Wite's Well) is in Morcombelake.
King Alfred built the church of St Candida in honour of her. It has the distinction of being one of only two in England to still have it's original shrine and holy relics still intact after #Reformation
Inside the shrine is a lead box with the inscription of Hic Reqesct Relique Sce Wite (Here rest the relics of St Wite)
