Lindisfarne, 793: lightning, dragons, and Viking fury. The holy hotspot of English Christianity gets hit like a Norse crime scene, monks down, relics gone. Not just a raid. A brutal mic drop that launched the Viking Age.

Heavenly Havoc: Lindisfarne and the Dawn of the Viking Age

On June 8, 793, Vikings shattered the peace of Lindisfarne, the heart of English Christianity. This brutal raid wasn’t just about loot; it symbolized a clash that would redefine medieval Europe.

Today we’re visiting Lindisfarne, otherwise known as Holy Island, and won’t be able to leave until dinner time. It’s a tidal causeway and the times change rapidly, so if you ever visit be sure to check tide times first!
I’ve been a couple of times but not for many years.

This is the second of two poems I wrote after doing a past life meditation which featured memories of being a monk on Holy Island (Lindisfarne).

It has been a while since I posted anything but here is an etching of the view from the window of the Edinburgh to London train as it crosses the Royal Border Bridge over the River #Tweed above #Berwick. #Lindisfarne and #Bamburgh castles are on the distant horizon.
This is from a brass plate etched by spit-bite. Plate size 300x210mm.

I wish you peace
when the cold winds blow
and your boots no longer lie
about the cold around your feet
