👴📜 Oh, the internet's latest obsession: pretending to understand #gibberish from 1000 AD. Apparently, deciphering Old English is the new hipster pastime—because who needs modern communication when you have ancient scribbles? 😂🧐 It’s like trying to read your cat's mind and saying, "Look, I’m fluent in feline!" 🐱🔮

Reading English from 1000 AD

The past was not as foreign as we think.

Kulning - Ancient herdingcall - A farewell song to the cows




invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=nc7F_…The singing technique called "kulning" is an ancient Swedish herding call, that was used by women long time ago to call home the #cattle (the #cows and the goats) back home to the farm in the evenings. It was also used as a form of communication, since the high pitch sounds can be heard through very far distances.

I sang for the cows one last time before they had to go back to the farm for the winter. I always feel a sorrow when they leave the village in the autumn. Since May, they have been here on the fields, bringing some life to our little quiet village with only 10 inhabitants in the middle of the northern woods.

The sounds of cowbells in the quiet evening is one of the best sounds I know. And I love the #feelings of seeing them running towards me as i sing. Especially when I see my favorite cow, Stjärna (star ⭐️). She is always the first one coming.

I already miss them so much. —
