The great áttorsceaða -- a deadly and venom-destroyer/enemy. A monster, like a dragon, who spreads poison where-ever it goes. This creation is a great wyrm (worm) or serpent. Deadly and fearsome; it lives in those dark and lonely places, marshes and swamps and destroys all living things.

It's #OldEnglish #WordOfTheDay time and today, in honour of #NationalStorytellingWeek we are going with
spelspreca [ᛋᛈᛖᛚᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳᚪ]:
prose-speaker; storytellerspel(l): prose / work or prose
spreca: A speaker / one who speaks in council / Speaks with authority
Pronunciation: https://files-thefolklore-cafe.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/attachments/spelspreca.m4a
This is the title of a great storyteller, the person who tells the tales or greatness, adventure, of mourning and loss. There is no coincidence that we say stories are "spell-binding"; for the #AngloSaxons and #Jutes, telling stories were the deepest of magics. Every evocative word invoked the most powerful of spells.
