Thor Ewing

Myths and rites, legends and literature, gods and goddesses.
And the ὑποκείμενον which underpins it all.

@deel Hi, I was commissioned by DigitalWebPrints to record a short novel "for an internal Deel presentation later this year", but the company has disappeared.
So I have an audio book which I believe was commissioned on your behalf, and it would be nice if we could work out a deal

[Thor Ewing @ThorEwing]

@TOEwithCurt It was this that brought me here. Just DM'd you

@TylerAlterman @_space_punk_ The pre-Christian religious worldview of Europe doesn't seem to have been based on dogma or competing hierarchies, so no, unlike Abrahamic faith-based religions they don't kill each other on religious grounds

It is an enormous honour for me to be made chief of Clan Ewing, and a delight to share the day with so many great people

Tonight the Lord Lyon accompanied by Rothesay Herald attended the inauguration of Thor Ewing as Chief of the Name and Arms of Ewing at historic Riddles Court on the Royal Mile of Edinburgh.

This is just like the stories I grew up with of life during the Blitz. I never expected it to happen again in Europe in my lifetime, but this is now 🇺🇦

I can't post the unblurred footage right now in case it helps the russians but seeing a kamikaze drone pierce through the clouds of smoke will be forever scarred into my memory along with that horrifying sound.

They are terrorists, pure and simple.

@Solzi_Sez As a storyteller, I couldn’t agree more!

@serbiaireland . . . but not in Springtime!

[Thor Ewing @ThorEwing]

@JohannesAchill witty, but perhaps not his most perspicacious remark

[Thor Ewing @ThorEwing]

@g0blinegg Ooh, interesting! I was talking just yesterday about a similar tradition in Highland Scotland. Do you have any references for this?

Roman Mosaic of the Spring from the Villa La Olmeda in Pedrosa de la Vega, Palencia, Spain. Dated to the 4th century AD. All that rich foliate and floral energy bursting forth!

@ColoursOfBharat This one doesn't work for me. It's exactly the same weird image through whichever eye I look.

We are concluding the Lincolnshire Folk Tales symposium with a storytelling session by Thor Ewing, telling of the Buried Moon 🌙 #LincsFolk25

[Thor Ewing @ThorEwing]

A delight to perform yesterday at the Lincolnshire Folk Tales Symposium @LincsFolk

[Ceri Houlbrook @CeriHoulbrook]

Just two of the many highlights of today's @LincsFolk symposium - Melanie Giles and Abbi Flint's talk on Fenlore and Thor's poem 'The Poem Tarrif' (written just last week)

[Thor Ewing @ThorEwing]

Primroses and violets are traditional flower markers for the start of Spring. On my morning walk to see the Sunrise, I met a pair of crows, a pair of hares, a pair of geese, a pair of deer, and a pair of ravens

[Thor Ewing @ThorEwing]

Equinox, Sunrise.
Until the year 1600 in Scotland, and 1752 in England, Wales, Ireland and the British colonies, New Year was on Lady Day, 25th March, the liturgical equivalent of the Spring Equinox. Easter on the following Full Moon, takes its name from the goddess of Dawn.

@ecstatic_0 This is an important perspective, but real Wisdom also includes the ability to look both forward and back from the present moment, not just to focus blindly on the now.
