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.

Other / unclassifiable — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 20 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 35% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

18 posts held, back to 16 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 3 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

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. Cweorð byþ cweorna sum and se cwica fýres; bēam hēo byrneð, bǣr-fǣġne þeġn; sāwle hēo lȳseð, þe sēċoð rodor. Querth is a sort of quern and the quickener of fire. It burns a tree, a thane doomed to the …

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.

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.
