Painting depicting women in flowing white gowns dancing hand in hand on lush grass around a tree, which sits in the centre of the scene. Painted in 1913. Thought to be inspired by the dancer Isadora Duncan.

Second ? So maybe the goat had tried before. Hopefully it had survived. A long , serpentine body rolled into view, coiling around a shimmering treasure hoard. FΓ‘fnir! I spoke up boldly. β€žI am Lif and I need to save the new world tree, my spouse and a goat.β€œ

Suddenly I smelled dragon breath. The sulphuric tang reminded me of the favourite recipe of the the oldest and most respected crone in the village. Century eggs! I shuddered. A deep baritone rang: β€šWho wants to conquer my mountain? Second thief in one day!β€˜ My thoughts raced.

Egyptian goddess Seshat. She writes upon a scroll. She wears a white robe with a leopard skin sash. Columns and pyramids are behind her. A crescent moon and star are upon her head.

Egyptian goddess Seshat. She writes upon a scroll. She wears a white robe with a leopard skin sash. Columns and pyramids are behind her. A crescent moon and star are upon her head.

February 23rd - A Journey with Goddess.

Seshat - Egyptian goddess of writing, of knowledge, of wisdom.

Writing was sacred to the Ancient Egyptians - for them it was the act of preserving something that might otherwise be lost. Writing makes the transient into something eternal.

[He] bounds from the earth, as if his
entrails were hairs; […], the Pegasus […]! When I bestride him, I
soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth
sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his
hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.

…mountain range loomed in the distance.

Wyrdlings!

The platform that was once twitter faces the Wyrd’s final curtain this week and so we give you:

β€œDownfalls, Demises & It's All Over"

as this week’s #WyrdWednesday topic.

And while the Mothers of Wyrd quit * that * place, we'll still be here on Bluesky & over on Instagram every week!
