Njótið and Skádi

Njörð and Skádi got married but couldn't stand where the other lived so instead of being unhappy by the sea or the mountains together, they decided to live apart and be happier.

This is something that modern relationships don't have and they force themselves to be happy together when they're not.

Norse got it right

Old Norse - Nouns and Pronouns

Anglo Saxon

The Old Norse nouns and pronouns belong to one of three genders - masculine, feminine and neuter. The gender for the most part can't be predicted.

Masculine nouns can be identified by an 'r' (ᛣ᛫ᚱ᛫ᚱ) or an 'i' (ᛁ᛫ᛁ᛫ᛁ) ending. The 'r' ending generally means that it's a strong noun while an 'i' is a weak noun.

Normative - subject, predictable nouns and adjectives.

Accusative/Direct - direct object, object of certain prepositions

Dative/Indirect - direct object, object of certain prepositions

Genitive/Posessive - possessive

Pronouns - YR/EF/ASF

Norse Myth

I've been doing a LOT of reading about Norse mythology recently and I was thinking about writing the myths up in my own form - with notes that I found that could be useful to understanding it. Figured it would be fun to do and good writing practice

Anglo-Saxon Futhorc

The Anglo-Saxon Futhorc wasn’t commonly used to be written down but dates between the 5th (500′s) to the 11th century (1000′s), during the time of the Elder Futhark. It’s believed that the Anglo-Saxons created more runes for the different phonetics in Old English, resulting in 33 runes, while other places such as Iceland had condensed it into to 18 runes (Younger Futhark). Not much is known about Anglo-Saxon Runes as they weren’t commonly used so it’s hard to say how they were used for magic. However, the first 24 runes are borrowed from Elder Futhark so they can be used if you so wish.
