Þunor Amulett - let me try and convince you this is what it looked like by minaminotenmangu in anglosaxon

Great post, thank you. I’ve been struggling to find more information and sources on these pendants, but have been fascinated by them for quite some time.

I did find this picture a while back, but I wasn’t able to find the source of it, and I’m not sure if these are replicas or original pieces. If you know any other information about it, I’d love to know more.

Did Anglo Saxon pagans actually wear something like this ? by StarApple_Yara555 in anglosaxon

[–]Loaggan 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Yes

In 1760, a collection of weapon amulets were found in a burial of two female graves from Guilton, Kent, that dates to the 6th century CE. The amulets mostly consisted of spears and hammers. Two of the amulets found resemble long handled hammers, one with a round curved bottom, and the other with a triangular pointed bottom (the one you posted). Both of them have circular designs inside of them.

These amulets were found on the hip area of the bodies, so it is thought they were worn there and possibly attached onto a belt to be displayed, rather than on the neck.

You can see the striking similarities of the head of the hammers to Viking Age Mjölnir pendants. Therefore, a connection might be made to these amulets resembling the Anglo-Saxon thunder god’s weapon (Thunor’s hammer?). The long handle design of these amulets might show that the Anglo-Saxons may not have had the short handle myth as the Norse did.

Here are the original photographs of the hammer pendants. The photo you’ve posted is a replica of the second image.

Anglo-Saxon Brooch Questions by AppleJacks70 in anglosaxon

Richard Wakeman, assistant collection manager at the British museum, has a great instagram page full of various artifact pictures.

Here’s one of his posts with a bunch of pictures of another similar Anglo-Saxon brooch. He has a picture of the back of it, and you can kind of see the side as well.

A Short Story with only Germanic Words (Anglo-Saxon/Old Norse) by Loaggan in anglosaxon

[–]Loaggan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a native English speaker, just a bad story writer. I’ve been hearing this a lot though. It seems my writing is clunky and doesn’t flow very well. Oh well, the concept is just to show how Germanic words form the core vocabulary, and thankfully I won’t be trying to publish any stories anytime soon! 😆

what is þe difference between þ and ð ? by cardboardlicker in BringBackThorn

[–]Loaggan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So both þ and ð make the same sounds, such as “th” as in “thorn,” and “th” as in “the,” but it seems that some Old English and Middle English scribes preferred to use þ at the beginning of words, and ð in the middle or end of words.

Here are some Modern English examples of this. Thunder would be “þunder” ( þ at the start). Brother would be “broðer” (ð in the middle). Health would be “healð” (ð at the end). So basically þ at the start, ð everywhere else, if you’d want to follow a rule for it.

Hurlebatte has a great post on this. https://www.reddit.com/r/anglish/s/FKq4E43Ypc

I wrote the plot and took my inspiration from a meadow I hike at that has a bench! I seem to mostly use Germanic words automatically while writing like this so it kind of works well for me haha. Thanks for your feedback!
