		<description><![CDATA[In my rune research the other day, I followed a hypothesis that &#8220;eight&#8221; and &#8220;ætt&#8221; are cut from the same cloth. That there is more than phonetics connecting the two. It turns out that I wasn&#8217;t far off. Átta is the Old Norse word for the cardinal number eight, descended from átt which relates to [...]]]></description>

This has been a tricky one because the Old Norwegian and Old Icelandic poems talk about wounds while the Anglo Saxon talks about safety and light inside a cabin. For the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kind of a short post here, but the sentiment is from my heart: stop creating &#8220;Heathen&#8221; groups. It doesn&#8217;t make any sense. Heathenism is powerful because of its decentralized and unorganized nature. Families on disparate farms had their own ways of tracking and marking holidays, prayer and sacrifice were &#8212; for the most part &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FEHU (FAY-hoo) is the first rune of the three rows or Aetts of the Elder Futhark. The word FEHU comes from the Proto-Germanic and is the origin of our modern word &#8220;fee&#8221;. The literal and pictographic representation of FEHU is the domesticated cattle. Cattle were often used to pay debts, settle disputes, and establish other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been studying the runes for almost 20 years now. I was in my freshman year of high school when I first stumbled across these mysterious symbols as I was doing research for a chemistry paper: a picture of a Viking-era sword whose blade was etched with a combination of &#8220;Isa&#8221;, &#8220;Nauthiz&#8221;, and &#8220;Tiwaz&#8221;.
