Kjósa, kýss, kaus, kuru, kørinn.

These are the principle parts of the Old Norse verb "to choose". Sort of similar to the English word. But do you know why the "s" suddenly becomes an "r"? 🤔

Kennings are figurative compound terms used in Old Norse and Old English alliterative verse.

"The wood-bear of old walls" is a kenning for a mouse.

"The dark betrayer of the wood-bear of old walls" is a cat! 🐈‍⬛

Do you have a favorite kenning?

Known for his quest for knowledge and his mystical ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory), Odin's influence is profound.

Wednesday is named after Odin—'Woden's Day' in Old English, reflecting his Old Norse name, Óðinn. 🗡️

🌟 Let’s journey back to 793 AD, when the Vikings launched their infamous raid on Lindisfarne, marking the start of the Viking Age.
But a Christian community at Lindisfarne survived, and recorded the event on the famous ‘Domesday stone’.
