Legacy, Honor, Luck, Soul, Family
“The name, then, goes out from him who bears it as a conqueror, and lays the world at its feet, goes forward undeterred by life or death, because it has in itself, nay, is in itself, the soul. If the man dies in body, then all life contracts in his honour, his fame after death, his name, and lives its life therein undisturbed; it can at any moment fill out a new body and inspire it to a life in honour and luck. When the name is given to a kinsman, the soul emerges into the light again, as if nothing had happened. He is come again, men said.”

A 2500 year old olive tree perished in the wildfires on the Greek Island of Evia this week. The tree, which was fertile and still producing olives, was so large that 10 people could fit along the diameter of its trunk.
Greek geographer and historian Strabo wrote of this tree nearly two thousand years ago. It endured the passing of countless ages, but perished in August 2021.
Very symbolic of our rotten and dying era.

Life and Fate
Another word designating the human soul is the Anglo-Saxon ealdor, and is rendered as “age, life-time” and in other places simply by “life”. The texts speak of losing age, staking age, taking age from another man. A man can hazard his ealdor and lose it, he can take another man's aldr from him in battle. Ealdor is the feorh residing in the breast, which the sword can force its way in to bite. But this soul, or life, does not exist merely in a pale generality, as a white board on which the world casts its shadow. It has some contents, it is a fate. According to the Lay of Helgi, the norns came to the homestead of the hero on the night of his birth and created, or formed, his age; they bade him become the most famous king, greatest in renown among princes.

Bad Jodesbersch is a municipal district of Bonn, southern North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Bad Jodesbersch, originally spelled Wuodenesberg, means "Wotan's Mountain".
722 AD - First official record of the town, which was named after a nearby mountain, the Woudenesberg (later Jodesbersch), a basalt cone where the Ubii, a Germanic tribe, worshipped Wotan.

Fate
A man's age is determined from his birth, say the Norsemen, meaning thereby, that one's history, as we should say, or one's fate, as they themselves would put it, is a given thing; through such and such happenings he is to be led to his end. One can recognise a hero of the past in one's contemporary, by his courage, and by the contents and strength of his honour, but also his career provides its evidence, and this perhaps of the clearest, as to the connection between past and present. When we know what sort; of a soul there is in a man, we can say with immediate certainty what awaits him, and what his end will be. A man's fate is determined, and therewith both friends and enemies, alliance and conflict, tradition and aim; and with the characteristics of a race there follows, in rhythmic repetition, the same history.
