The Anglo-Saxon Sċop and Norse Skald, were the storytellers & keepers of culture, folk-history, and godly lore.
Skalds were highly-honored, and feared, in their ability to compose poetry about people; a poem could help or hurt one’s reputation. When a Skald praised their lords, they were well-rewarded. They were folk’s teachers, historians, advisors, & musicians. From a Skald, children learned their history, literature, and religion.
Sċops were Anglo-Saxon minstrel who, like the Skald, were teachers, historians, advisors, & musicians; teaching the history, literature, and religion of their folk.
The Old English poem ‘Ƿidsið’ (Widsith) is a fictional biography of a Sċop; giving us an idea of the Sċop’s status and role within society, as it surveys of the folk, kings, and heroes of the Northern European Heroic Age.
Interestingly, the poem refers to a group of people called the Wicinga cynn, which may be the earliest mention of the word, ‘Viking’ (lines 47, 59, 80).

We're all connected. This is why you may yawn, smile or sneeze when you see others do. This is why a friend might call you just when you happen to think about her. It's an intricate web of invisible strings.
In this spiritual war, you can help by working on yourself. As Tesla said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”. And when you have the keys, you may enter.
You're more powerful than you think. As within, so without. 🙏

The Dullahan, meaning “without head”, is a creature in Irish folklore who rides a black horse and carries it’s severed head in its hands. It was one of the inspirations for Washington Irving’s ghost story Sleepy Hollow.

And when you, O human, return to nature, that day your eyes will open, you will stare straight into the eyes of nature and in its mirror you will see your image. You will know that when you hid from nature, you hid from yourself. If we desire life, we must establish a new relationship with nature.
