The days are inching toward Lughnasadh. The harvests are well underway as the mountains get smokier and the buzz of insects in the afternoon gets more insistent. Even as the days get hotter, I yearn for cool autumn mornings wet with dew and the fragrance of bracken browned in the sun.

22nd April, Today we commemorate the last British #Pagan King, and last king of the #IsleOfWight Arwald.
On this day in 686, Cædwalla, King of Wessex invaded the #Jutish kingdom of Wihtwara, the land of Whit [ ᚹᛁᚻᛏ ] (Spirits / Supernatural Beings).
Arwald had sent his two son to his kinsfolk, the Meonwara to keep them safe.
Due to their superior size, the army of Cædwalla were victorious. However, not without many casualties. #Folklore says that Arwald dealt Cædwalla a near fatal wound that never healed and would ultimately take his life many years later. The story says, that the last curse, uttered using the last of the old magic was from Arwald's lips as he struck Cædwalla.
After the battle, Cædwalla sent his men the commit genocide on the island. A memory that still runs deep on the Island, even to this day.
The two princes were also betrayed after they had been forced to convert to #christianity -- Cædwalla had them killed.
This is not the of the story, the sister of Arwald was the wife of the King of #Kent and was the great great great Grandmother of #AlfredTheGreat. One could argue, the line of Wiht is behind the whole of the British royal family.

geonsíþ [ ᚷᛖᚩᚾᛋᛁᚦ ]: yon-journey; journey to the other world, death / Journey to the other place / travelling to the Somewhen
The is the great journey to the other place / to death. It is when the spirit leave the body and moves on to what is waiting for us. It is more than just a journey though, it is the etherial movement from this place to another, to the mysterious place yonder -- out of reach.
In Anglo-Saxon / Jutish pre-christian / #pagan beliefs, it would be to #Hel, not the #Christian Hell, but the after-life.
After #Christianity took over, it became the journey to either #Heaven (for reward) or #Hell (punishment / damnation)
geon: Yon -- Something over there. A place or thing in the far off distance. The root of Yonder
síþ: going journeying; going from this world; a journey voyage course expedition undertaking enterprise
Pronunciation: https://files-thefolklore-cafe.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/attachments/geonsith.m4a
Example: Æfter hyra geonsíðe [ geonsíþ ] hié tó hellewítum beóð gelædde
Translation: She was lead on the yon-journey to pay within the torments of hell

wælmist [ ᚹᚫᛚᛗᛁᛋᛏ]: A mist that covers the bodies of the slain.
wæl: the slain, the dead, a number of slain, generally of death in battle.
The wælmist rises off the slain in a way that leaves the mortal heart arching with loss and fear -- the wælbrecða (or heart of sorrow for the slain).
They say, that after the battle between #Arwald (the last #pagan king in Britain) and #Cædwalla, Cædwalla's troops move their camp into the woodland of the #IsleOfWight at the sight of the wælmist lest the #Death (Hel) mistook them or one of her own.
