A little bit 🦉 about 🦉the 🦉word “owl”🦉
Some words it seems, begin through what is called “imitative origin.” In the case of “owl,” our ancestors named them after the sounds they heard them make.
It seems the Germanics evolved their words mostly from the *who* sound; while Italo-Celts did it from *caw* and *who*

PIE: *kaw 🦉
Proto-Celtic: *kawannos (see Latin cavannus)

A kenning for Odin used by Egill Skallagrímsson in Sonatorrek was vagna rúni; friend of the wagon.
Grimm recorded that a 15th Century Dutch term for the Big Dipper was Woenswaghen, derived from Woden, along with Irminswagen in Lower Saxony. An Old English term was wænes þísl, wagon pole. 卐

In Confessio, Saint Patrick didn’t mince words. He proclaimed the Christian holy book as the true word of God, denouncing the druids’ texts as not only false but dangerously unholy.
Corc, a revered Irish druid, was outraged by this bold accusation. He defended the sanctity of the druids’ knowledge, earned only through at least a minimum of seven years of dedicated study and discipline. Incensed, he challenged Patric…

Krampus, Wild Lord of the Alps
In the Wilds there is no Good nor Evil. There is Strength and Cunning, Brutality and Kindness, Liberty and Passion, Fervor and Abundance. There is only Life or Death... and all of these things have their God, The Lord of the Wilds, Krampus the Wild Man of the Alps.
Sometimes he is horned. Sometimes he is not. Sometimes he is red or black, white or piebald, his face ferocious and sturd…

Showing the 8 most recent of 8 posts we hold for @thearyanseer. 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.
