How the blog works

The poems on this blog are mostly written on the basis of my historical reading and are intended to be both educational and entertaining.
Recently I have also begun posting some of my work with Anglo-Saxon charms. This work is somewhat speculative and is conducted as an amateur researcher and keen Pagan historian.

Please feel free to use anything on this site as a resource if you think that it may be relevant to your needs.

Stir up Sunday


Stir up Sunday (November 25th)

Stir up Sunday, Its Christmas pudding day,
All stir the pudding, lets go have a play.
Stir from east to west, good fortune for to be,
With 13 ingredients, a blessing unto thee.

A silver coin will bring, wealth to the finder,
Keep it safe till Christmas, who’ll be the minder?
A lucky life thimble, if thee do discover,
A ring to bring marriage, it may be thine lover.
