Come a little wander
A wander with me
Down past the faraways is where we shall be
Where the many old pathways, shall show us the way
And the trees do whisper
“You’re welcome to stay”🍂

Blessings to you all
May you all be blessed this Winter🍂

Woden in his role as Wish-Lord from 'The Saxons in England, Volume 1 by John Mitchell Kemble'

One of the names of Odin in the Old-Norse mythology is Osk, which by an etymological law is equivalent to the German Wunsch, the Anglo Saxon Wisc, and the English Wish. Grimm has shown in the most convincing manner that Wunsch may be considered as a name of Wuotan in Germany; and it is probable that Wúsc or Wísc may have had a similar power here. Among the names in the mythical genealogies we find Wúscfreá, the lord of the wish, and I am even inclined to the belief that Oisc, equivalent to Ésk, the founder of the Kentish line of kings, may be a Jutish name of Wóden in this form,—ésc, or in an earlier form óski, i. e. Wunsch, Wýsc. In Devonshire to this day all magical or supernatural dealings go under the common name of Wishtness: can this have any reference to Wóden’s name Wýsc? So again a bad or unfortunate day is a wisht day: perhaps a diabolical, heathen, accursed day. There are several places which appear to be compounded with this name; among them: Wishanger (Wíschangra or Wóden’s meadow), one, about four miles S.W. of Wanborough in Surrey, and another near Gloucester; Wisley (Wíscleáh) also in Surrey; Wisborough (probably Wíscbeorh) in Sussex; Wishford (probably Wíscford) in Wiltshire.

Here is a very good summary of the Germanic religion (Heathenry), excerpted from an article in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Ninth Edition (1879), Vol. 10 (G–GOT), p. 474:

GERMANY, PART II. — HISTORY OF GERMANY. By James Sime.
Ancient Times: Religion.

ᚨ

“The religion of the ancient Germans was essentially the same as that of their Scandinavian kinsmen, but our sources of information respecting it are few and imperfect. The highest place among the gods was held by Wuotan or Wodan, the Scandinavian Odin. The Romans identified him with Mercury, and the medieval German writers, in referring to him, follow their example. He was the god of the air and of the sky, and was looked upon as the giver of the fruits of the earth. He delighted in battle and in the chase, and was represented as an imposing figure in a large white mantle, riding upon a white horse.

ᚦ

“Along with him the Germans worshiped Donar, the Scandinavian Thor, to whom Tacitus seems to refer in speaking of Hercules as a German divinity. He was the god of thunder and of the weather, and was armed with a hammer or thunderbolt. In later times, the Germans supposed him to be Jupiter. He presided over marriage, and controlled the operations of agriculture; and to him were sacred the oak and mountain ash, the bear and the ram.”

ᛏ

“Another great divinity was Ziu or Tiu, the Scandinavian Tyr, the god of war, whom Tacitus speaks of as Mars, and whose symbol was the sword.”

ᚠ

“Tacitus says that a powerful goddess called Nerthus was worshiped on the shores of the Baltic; he also mentions Isis as a goddess of the Suevic tribes. Both names evidently refer to the same divinity. On the coasts her symbol was a ship; inland, it was a waggon; in some districts she was represented with the plough. Like Donar, she presided over marriage; she also watched over the house and the fields, was the giver and protector of children, and ruled the world of the dead. At a later time, she was known to the Saxons as Fria or Frigg, to the Franks as Holda, to the Bavarians as Perchta, — the first name indicating her freedom of manner, the second her kindness, the third her splendour. In the Scandinavian mythology Frigg is the wife of Odin; and to this day, it is said, the peasants in certain parts of Low Germany speak of Fru Fricke, the wife of the wild hunter Wod.”

ᚾ

“The mythology of the Germans, like that of the Scandinavians, included the three sisters of fate, two of whom were fair and good, the third dark and evil. Beneath the gods were giants, elves, and dwarfs. After death, it was believed, good men were received into Walhalla; and by good men were meant warriors who never shrank in battle — above all, warriors who died fighting. The Germans were profoundly influenced by their religious faith, and both in daily life and on special occasions attended scrupulously to the duties and precautions it was supposed to involve. Each god and goddess had his and her own festival, and their images were preserved in sacred groves. Sacrifices were offered to them, and their will was discovered by means of lots, the neighing of wild horses, and the flight of birds. Priests, without dominating the whole of life, exercised considerable influence, especially when freemen met in public assembly, and when they were advancing on an enemy.”

In the spiritual history of the Aryan race in Europe, the worship of forests and trees played an important role. Because at the dawn of history, Europe was covered by huge rainforests, in which scattered scrubs must have looked like little islands in an ocean of greenery.

Until the first century before Christ, the Hercynian Forest stretched east of the Rhine into an infinite and unknown distance; The Germanic people whom Caesar inquired with said that they had traveled through the forest for two months, and had not seen its end.

According to many studies of the Teutonic words for „temple“, it seems likely that natural forests were also the oldest sanctuaries among the Germanic peoples. It is sufficiently proved that the worship of trees existed among all the great European branches of the Aryan race.
