In The Beginning

Here is the creation story. This is a modern retelling from 1912. Notice how similar it is to Grecian stories.

Arthur Rackham

One of my all time favorite artists.

    Arthur Rackham was an english man and he worked in the early 1900s, leaving us in 1939.

Beowulf.

The Story of Beowulf.

Forget about the movies you have seen, read the story for your self. 

This is a nice version from 1933. 

It is in the public domain so feel free to spread it around.

Beowulf was one of the very first stories to be written down in the Old English language, and many things historical can be gleaned even from the various translations that are out there.

Enjoy.

Lughnasadh prayer.

Lord of light,

Lady of love

The wheel turns ever according to thy will.

For the ripened grain and fragrant herb of the field

We praise thee and give thanks.

For the blessings of thy earth and bounty of thy yield

We offer up our grace.

Sun-king, warm us in thy final days

As the bitter voice of winter calls

And we wend our way unto the grave.

Fill these waiting hallowed halls

With love to light this maze

Lead us through this thorn torn way

Away from the garden of pain

And bring us again unto that place,

Where our laughing kindred wait

Our smiles upon their face

That we may share with them again

Your immortal divine embrace

Lord of light,

Lady of love

The wheel turns ever according to thy will.

For the ripened grain and fragrant herb of the field

We praise thee and give thanks.

For the blessings of thy earth and bounty of thy yield

We offer up our grace.
