Winters in the World

I recently finished reading @ClerkofOxford's 'Winters in the World' and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the Anglo-Saxon poems in it have since inspired a few of my paintings. This is a great review. https://t.co/VLmjNKPcKy

George Fitzhugh

George Fitzhugh *hated* the Enlightenment and what he called 'Free Society'. Highly critical of the Reformation, John Locke, etc. He wanted to go back to what it was like in England before at least the English Civil War as a form of government. Very illiberal writer. pic.twitter.com/uEDpD4id4O

Anglo-Saxon Harvest Poetry for Autumn

In many early medieval calendars, 7 August - halfway between midsummer and the autumnal equinox - is the beginning of a new season. It's the first day of autumn, when the earth is rich with the abundance of the harvest. Some Anglo-Saxon harvest poetry: https://t.co/mVAnDVogNv pic.twitter.com/penuaoEGGg

Something You May Not Have Known about the Magna Carta

Nice short text on the Magna Carta and English medieval woodlands and forests. Say what you will about the Normans, but they did make an effort to preserve woodland. These laws were in effect until 1971. https://t.co/A5up6KQEv8

Clare and Kingsnorth

Kingsnorth also sees how enclosure in the widest sense is the main driver of the processes of modern capitalist and bureaucratic tyranny. He well grasps just why figures like Cobbett, Ruskin and Chesterton were more radical than Marx in denying its inevitability and rationality.

Do subscribe to this and read Paul Kingsnorth’s eloquent defence of the Luddites: they were no technophobes but coherent protestors against the needless subordination of people to machines which has now increased exponentially and disastrously. https://t.co/jkMU2GaSzL

Early Shift in English/British Identity?

I just read Susan Oothuizen’s brilliant revisionary book: she shows in terms of a longer duree that the English were more Romano-British than we think. But Francis Young’s reserves convince: why the lapse to specifically Germanic paganism? Why diff A-S tribes? Language shift? https://t.co/bVeM9AOill

Merchant Aventurers' Hall

Here’s a short clip of some Binchois from our rehearsal at the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall in York.

The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien by John Garth

CWR: A World Alive: How Tolkien transformed England-as-Elfland into Middle-earth by Sandra Miesel

Generations of critics have studied Tolkien’s sources in minute detail, but none has integrated information and insights with visuals as elegantly as John Garth has done in the lavishly illustrated The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien: The Places That Inspired Middle-Earth.

Holy Cuthbert, Pray for Us!

Saint Cuthbert was born in Britain in 635 & became a monk at the monastery of Melrose. After years of struggle as a priest in the service of his own brethren and of the neglected Christians of isolated villages, he became a solitary on Farne Island in 676.https://t.co/SW2YsyEvMt pic.twitter.com/JfptfZzize

After St. Cuthberts death he became one of the most important medieval saints of Northern England, with a pilgrimage centred on his tomb at Durham Cathedral. Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northern England.https://t.co/SW2YsyW6E1 pic.twitter.com/Bc8fpdJ0Cs

Slow Food Not Necessarily Aligned with WEF

They could just be concerned with humane, sustainable ranching, but it still doesn't look good.

EU launched "Become a Beefatarian", an absurd campaign, supported with public funds, which invites European citizens to increase their meat consumption, without questioning environmental sustainability, animal welfare or climate justice. FULL ARTICLE 🔽 https://t.co/eBwlmhXziX

Or, we could just stop living in big cities, especially if we know they are not sustainable. How's that for a change?

In the 9th Century, all Christians who were canonical belonged to One, Holy, and Apostolic Church. The Orthodox Church is the foundation of Christendom - East, West, North, and South. The Pat of Rome eventually went rogue making claims that are unsupported by history. https://t.co/czOErCSKUU

Alfred the Great died on 26 October 899.

A chance conversation between Oswald, Bishop of Worcester, and Æthelwine, Ealdorman of East Anglia, led to a life-long collaboration and a legacy which outlived them both, bearing fruit for generations of scholars.
