[Eleanor Parker @ClerkofOxford]

'In June, when the jewel climbs up
highest in the year into the heavens,
brightest of stars...
At that time the fairest of lights
likes to gaze longer upon the earth,
to move more slowly across the meadows.'

Anglo-Saxon writers on the summer solstice: https://t.co/koxgcemjp7

Everyone needs to know the origin of the word “rune.” When ancient Germanics formed their own alphabet, they called the letters *rūnōz or “whispers,” because as your eyes followed them, they spoke to you, silently. Reading is magic to a people at the dawn of literacy, who haven’t yet learned to take the miracle for granted.

[Wylfċen @wylfcen]

In Old English, lēodwynn meant “the joy of being among one’s own people.” It’s an ancient feeling which most people on Earth take for granted: the joy of being surrounded by the people you belong to, because so much of them is in you, and you them.

If the Anglo-Saxons saw an herbarium, they might call it a wyrthord, or ‘plant-hoard’.

Viking Ship Money Trail: A Thread: While independent archaeology projects are being suppressed as "fantasy," records show a real-life "money-grab" involving senior Wirral figures. Let’s look at where your Mayor’s Charity money actually went. 🕵️‍♂️ #Wirral #Archaeology #Transparency

Fact: In 2025, the Wirral Mayor’s Charity Fund awarded £3,500 to "The Draken Project."
The conflict? The Mayor (Cherry Povall) and Sheila Clarke were DIRECTORS of the project they awarded the money to their own private company https://t.co/vFmMU9t6YU

Misrepresentation? On the official Councillor Register, the project was listed under "Charities" and misspelled as "Dragan."
In reality, it was THE DRAKEN PROJECT LTD (16118067)—a private limited company. It was NEVER a registered charity.📉https://t.co/zUJdpdW9MB

The Sinking Ship: After receiving the £3,500 "good cause" donation, the company was Dissolved (Struck Off) on 10 Feb 2026.
No ship. No public archaeology. No refund. Just public money vanishing into a private venture. 💸https://t.co/Y5tI7ZNWZX

Why does this matter? Becuase it is yet another Viking tourist attraction that "secured funding" but never materialised like the proposed 2014 Viking Village at Clatterbridge also in Cherry Povall's ward https://t.co/4GCGAOKZ4h @ChtyCommission @WirralCouncil @WirralGlobeNews

STOP saying “aristocratic.” That’s from Greek. The native English word is “athelborn,” from Old English æðelboren or ‘noble-born’.

It was Steve Harding former Director of @WArchaeologyCiC who highlighted the Viking coin forgeries... https://t.co/yUW45eeg49
