The spider spinning a web and the Wyrd Sisters weaving our fate – it's easy to see how some superstitions regarding spiders invoke luck or involve fate – or even foretell a gift of clothing!

The words 'spider' and 'spinner' both come from the same root - *(s)pen – 'to spin' and the words 'web' and 'weave' also share the same origin - *(h)uebh- 'to weave'. So its no wonder how the two overlap.

But there is another element to the web – another beast who has eight legs! Sleipnir! Fathered by Loga (Loki) as Loki himself has a connection with the spider. According to Hilding Celander, writing in 1911, the name Locke meant 'spider'. This may be the meaning behind the name Loki.

The Faroese word Lokkanet (Lokke's web) meant cobweb, just as the Swedish word lokkanät does, from the Germanic root word *luk meaning locked, looped or knotted. Loki the tangler indeed.
Naenigne ic under swegle
selran hyrde
hordmaththum haeletha,
sithan Hama aetwaeg
to thaere byrhtan byrig
Brosingamene,
sigle ond sincfaet;

I have heard tell of
no better treasure fit
for princes
Since Hama carried back
to the Shining Citadel
Brisingamen
that ornament and Gem

There is very little reference to Freya in Old English, but in Beowulf there is reference to Freya's necklace Brísingamen or Brosingamene. It was returned by Hama, an OE name for Heimdallr, who in the Skáldskaparmal is called 'Seeker of Freyja's Necklace'.
Your fate is woven,
Your life-thread is spun.
Your wyrd is a song-
That will now be sung.
By Urd, who knows;
How your path begun.
By Verðandi, who chooses;
How your worth is won.
By Skuld who decides,
How your death will come.

poem by Hāmasson
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.”

Einhard, in his book Vita Karoli Magni described that when Charlemagne defeated the heathen Saxons and converted them to Christianity, he gave new Germanic names to the Latin months of the year, including Ostarmanoth for April, which means the same as Eosturmōnaþ. This is where the German word Ostern is said to come from. Ostern is the plural of Ostara and means Easter. In 1835, Jacob Grimm proposed that the word Ostern must have derived from the goddess name Ostara, or as we call her Eostre.

There are Ostern customs which are likely to have pagan origins – the Osterrad and the Osterfeuer (Easter wheel and Easter fires) for example, but more famous is the rolling of burning wheels down the Osterberg at Lügde. The custom was witnessed by Charlemagne in 784, who according to legend approved the christianisation of the ritual.

Images - Osterrad from Dechenheim and a burning Easter wheel from Osterberg.
Today is England’s national day, St George’s day. George may be christian but in his legend we recognise our own Germanic hero of Sigurd. Nor are George's feats tales from far off lands, because Dragon Hill near Uffington got its name as legend tells this is where he slay the dragon.

Tolkien had Woden in mind when he created Gandalf. In a letter to Sir Stanley Unwin in 1946 he discussed the subject of the German edition of The Hobbit and described his idea of Gandalf as being an Odinic Wanderer.

Mistletoe was once called Donnerbesen in Germany, meaning Thunder Broom (thunder besom). The name is shared with a stylised form of brickwork that was incorporated into Saxony houses designed protect against lightning strikes. The church later renamed this pattern teufelbesen or ‘devil’s broom’. Grimm stated that a kenning for donnerbesen was alpruthe ‘elf-rod’ whilst alpgeschoss ‘elf-shot’ was a kenning for the thunderbolt, which is somewhat different to the Anglo-Saxon idea that elf shot were the tiny flakes of flint arrows known to cause cramps and other inflictions.
The 7th Century Reiterstein stone from Hornhausen, Saxony-Anhalt, appears to depict the rider wearing a mask-or perhaps a full-face helmet, like unto the Sutton Hoo helmet and Broa helmet. It may have been a more widespread style.

“Now,” said Penda, “cometh death, and I shall die in the best company that ever I was in."

Illustrations by John Duncan of the heathen king Penda, from the book 'King Penda's Captain' by MacKenzie MacBride, published 1908.

The goddess Freya is married to Óðr (perhaps a name used by Odin) who himself is a wanderer. In Óðr’s absence Freya cries tears of amber. Her necklace Brísingamen (OE Brosings-men) is also said to be made from amber, itself symbolic of ‘fire made solid’. Freya and Óðr have two daughters, Hnoss and Gersemi and their names link back to Freya’s tears and the jewels she collects as Hnoss means ‘ornament’ and Gersemi means ‘treasure’ (OE gærsum).

Some images to accompany Wessex Nomad's video on the Great Canfield church, Essex. The first shows a face along with two birds - likely to be Woden and his ravens. The second picture is a clearer view of the fylfots, again a symbol we associate with Woden. The last image shows a face and what appear to be two linked serpents. The serpent is once again a symbol we can associate with Woden.

This widely recognised Anglo-Saxon pendant shows the face of Woden, but is formed from the shapes of two ravens. It was found in Ousden (OE for Valley of the Owls) West Suffolk in England. The impressive embroidery of the same design is by Alva Weaves.
Wyrd, Scyld and Weorðende. Three OE names that correspond with Urðr, Skuld and Verðandi, the Norns (OE Wyrd) who determine our fate. They weave a single thread called the Weft (our life-thread) back and forth between the Warps, all the folk, places and events we will ever encounter, which is probably why the OE word needle (nædl) was used as a kenning for the soul.
