Je vais rajouter de nouvelles entrées d'#InterlaceArt dans les mois à venir. Je m'étais fait couper les jambes par une perte de données qui a causé la perte d'un très long billet mais on se laisse pas abattre. La Quête continue.
Ce soir, un fermoir en or trouvé dans le tumulus de Taplow en Angleterre, 7e siècle

Written and Performed by Me.
The fallow season is a time of rest for the living; also a time for us to put away all the things that have entertained us through the brighter months. However, for the creatures of the night and the jealous souls of the restless dead, it is a time for them roam free. The spectres and ghosts use this time to travel far and while, fore they know their time is limited and the days are slowly growing longer... Listen to hear the whole story

Born of fire, these fatherless fraternal two of Niht
From the day they first breathed this darkened air
Conflict was their nature as it was built
betwixt their bones; siblings and rivals.
Like whisps of smoke sailing into the night,
The brother of the sister floats forever on,
He brings that waking dream, Nobleman of the Wist,
And known to ethereal edgelands as Wūscfrēa...
It's #Monday or #Mōnandæg [ ᛗᚩᚾᚪᚾᛞᚫᚷ ] - Mōna or Mōnē's day, the Day or the Moon God, his name is rooted on the old proto-germanic word for "to measure". It also the root of the word "mæl" (meal today) and #Mōna is the root of the word #mōnaþ [ ᛗᚩᚾᚪᚦ ] or Month.
There is very little written evidence left about Mōna, apart from his name being given to the word for today. However, as he is cognate to #Mani (Norse Moon #God) who is attested in Prose #Edda and the Poetic Edda.
I for one however, like to look at Mōna how the Germanic tribes might have, and let us create our own stories and traditions. That is how storytelling works -- nothing is made up, just remembered differently.
The #Moon was what was used to mark time, he travelled the heavens, guiding us forward, from the cradle to the grave. That is why some people believe he was also the protector of Children and life.
This piece of art, that I drew shows Mōna, cradling the children that he protects as he crosses the night sky and the passage of their lifetime. It is done in the Early Medieval Style
