The name Wusc-frea which appears in the Deira royal lineage means ‘wish-lord’, Wusc being cognate with the German Wunsch and Norse Óski – a byname of Woden in his role as wish-lord. Writing in 1849, John Mitchell Kemble suggested Óski may also be cognate with Oisc (also recorded as Ésk) the founder of the Kentish line of kings, and perhaps a Jutish name for Wóden.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 6 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.

Béowa and Béole appear in the Lokasenna as Byggvir and Beyla and both are servants of Fréa. Béowa means barley and his name has also been recorded as Beaw, Bēow, Beo and Bedwig, whilst Béole is meant to mean either bean or bee. Hāl Béowa and Béole!
August is the month the grain harvest was bought in from the fields. So big was this task that everyone including children would help bring the harvest in, which is why the English school holidays fall in August. The celebration of Hlafmæsse or Loaf-Mass fell on August 1st, is known today as Lammas. As it falls halfway between the sunstede and equinox the origin of this observation was likely heathen.

It's the full moon today. Some calendars will refer to it as the Æftera Liða full moon. The name buck-moon is of Amerindian origin but there are examples of Germanic names for this moon, including hay moon and berry moon. The OE Æftera Liða refers to the second Liða month (Ærra Liða and Æfterra Liða fall roughly either side of the sunstede). Those of us in England will know it's been a very hot and dry summer so far,…
Hjúki and Bil are two children who became servants of Máni (OE Mōna) the moon god. They carry between them a pole called Simul from which hangs a pail called Sæg. Bil is later listed as a goddess in both Gylfaginning and Skáldskaparmál and is believed to be the same figure as Bilwis, a female corn spirit. The names Hjúki and Bil survive in the traditional English nursery rhyme ‘Jack and Jill’. In the rhyme Jack and …

Some of Woden’s bynames reveal him to be the Gallow’s Burden. Hangaguð and Hangatýr are his names and both mean God of the Hanged.
Hanging was said to be introduced to these isles by the Anglo Saxons, the last person to be hanged was August 13, 1964. It is a death we associated with Woden, Lord of the Gallows, who himself hung on the wind swept tree. There are a number of places in England which derive their name from the fact they had gallows, Gallow Field for example. The OE for gallows was ġealga however the wulfhéafodtréo or wulf-head-tree …
The Old English Rune Poem (OERP) stops with the Ear rune. In the book Eagle’s Mead, author Eirik Westcoat pens another four verses for the runes cweorð, calc, stān and gār, sometimes referred to as the ‘grail’ runes.

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @AEHTEMEN. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 39,408 of 1,160,990entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.

Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
