In Edward the Confessor’s law code, a term used for outlaws was wulfesheafod; wolf’s head.
In Notker’s The Life of Charlemagne, Charlemagne refers to the Norse as cynocephali, or dog-headed, quite likely on account of their wolf warrior cults.
“Ah, woe is me!” he said, “that I was not thought worthy to see my Christian hands dabbling in the blood of those dog-headed fiends.”
The term was used by pagans themselves in earlier times; in the Historia Langobardorum, the Langobards claimed they had cynocephali in their camps, who “waged war obstinately and drank human blood”, to deter potential attackers; likely referring to koryos and/or berserkir of sorts.
Its use in Christian accounts and law codes seems to invert and demonize a once-esteemed term, and make it synonymous with pagans. Like the double-bird motif, the wolf-man motif disappeared from Germanic art post conversion.

The Landnámabók and Njáls saga mention an interesting Old Norse term; ófreskr, meaning second sight.
In the Landnámabók, second sight includes the ability to see landvættir following Hafur-Björn, a witch in disguise, and Dufthak and Storolf’s fylgjur fighting, as well as foresight, also mentioned in Njáls saga.
Painting: Älvalek by August Malmström, 1866.

They say the Bear was born not of the earth, but of the silence between thunder.
He did not speak often — not because he had nothing to say, but because his voice was meant for moments that mattered.
When storms broke trees and rivers forgot how to flow, the Bear did not run.
He stood still.
And in his stillness, the forest began to breathe again.
His fur holds the colors of autumn leaves, ancient clay, and forgotten fire.
His eyes reflect not the world outside, but the stories buried within you.
The elders say he carries the wisdom of those who walked before — not loud, not proud, but patient.
He teaches not with words, but with presence.
With weight.
With quiet knowing.
They call him Tawíya — The Silence That Carries Mountains.
He comes when you need to be reminded:
You don’t have to roar to be strong.
You don’t have to fight to be brave.
You just have to remember who you are . Artist- Jan Sky

A remnant of Ostara worship in Germany, recorded by Helene Guerber in 1895…
“In various parts of Germany, stone altars can still be seen, which are known as Easter-stones, because they were dedicated to the fair goddess Ostara. They were crowned with flowers by the young people, who danced gaily around them by the light of great bonfires, a species of popular games kept up until the middle of the present century, in spite of the priests' denunciations and of the repeatedly published edicts against them.”
Painting by Josephine Wall.
