The Wyrd
"The Old English term wyrd derives from a Common Germanic term *wurđíz. Wyrd has cognates in Old Saxon wurd,Old High German wurt, Old Norse urðr, Dutch worden (to become), and German werden. The Proto-Indo-European root is *wert- "to turn, rotate", in Common Germanic *wirþ- with a meaning "to come to pass, to become, to be due" (also in weorþ, the notion of "origin" or "worth" both in the sense of "connotation, price, value" and "affiliation, identity, esteem, honour and dignity)."
To the ancient Germanic Folk, The Wyrd/Urd represented something larger than our own little worlds. It was Destiny, Fate, Identity the flow of all things. it is the source of the modern English word "Weird" and i think weird is the best way to describe this very German but also very English phenomena.
The Wyrd is that which is indescribable but I must stress not just a new word for the supernatural or paranormal nay it is a specific feeling and essence, It is seeing Stonehenge on a misty autumn morning, It's the green hills and forests that fill us with wonderment. It is the essence of our Land and People. The Weird and Strange.
I think the Revivalists of English Nationalism should look to our "Wyrd-ier" parts of our folk, this should be a core component of the Spiritual essence of the English Folk, We should say our Wyrd.
The Wyrd is your Wyrd, your spiritual essence, your destiny and identity. See the Wyrd as an energy that flows through the land, It is by the Land, from the Land and for the Land.
You can attune your Wyrd by simply experiencing England in all it's strange ways. Sit in the ancient wood that you visited as a child, do you remember? the excitement and almost a sense of fear? go further back! Did your father or mother also go here as children? did your grandparents? did your Ancestors? Feel that connection and embrace the wyrd that connects it! The Great tree roots of the World tree atop a dragon, the Dragon is the Land....
"Wyrd is a feminine noun, and its Norse cognate urðr, besides meaning "fate", is the name of one of the Norns; urðr is literally "that which has come to pass", verðandi is "what is in the process of happening" (the present participle of the verb cognate to weorþan) and skuld "debt, guilt" (from a Germanic root *skul- "to owe", also found in English shall)"
On a final note. A common Symbol for the Wyrd as you see above, you can actually place the whole Ffuþorc (Runes) into the symbol, hence the Weave or web of the Wyrd, The Norse for wyrd being Urd being one of the three norns who overwatch the Well, What well? the one Wodenn cut his eye out to learn of the mysteries of the runes.
Interesting thought.
So to finish this off fellow English Folk I say Embrace the Wyrd!
