![]() The use of runes in Old Norse Saga is paralleled in the Anglo-Saxon charms that have come down to us, but in Old English the Latin letters (and often the Latin language) were used for the magical inscriptions. EV Gordon, Introduction to Old Norse, (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1978), p183. There is a description in Egils saga of how Egil detected poison with runes: he cut them on the drinking horn, reddened them with his blood, and recited a verse (quoted in the saga). An event might be brought to pass if it were cut in runes which were inlaid with blood while charms were recited. The most varied and interesting are those cut for magical effect. The Historic Uses of Runes The uses of runes were specialized, and most of the inscriptions fall into clearly-defined conventional types. It is therefore impracticable to provide a definitive list of rune names. In Anglo-Saxon scholarship there is incomplete agreement on the set of names that should go with the Anglo-Saxon futhark, since in poetic use some runes clearly have different names in different contexts. These names varied from language to language, and even from dialect to dialect within a language, and also from one time period to another. The runes seem to have been developed as a means of recording brief texts by scratching them onto stone or wood 3.Įach rune's name was an actual word in the language using a particular futhark. The number of characters depended in part on the number of phonemes (units of sound) in the language being inscribed. ![]() The different futharks had different numbers of characters, ranging from 24 characters in the Elder Futhark to more than 30 in that of the Anglo-Saxons. Many of them resemble letters of the Roman or Greek alphabets, from which the runes may have been derived 2. The Anglo-Saxon runes came to England in a wave of migration earlier than that of the great Norse expansions.Ī futhark consists of runes made up principally of straight lines in various combinations. Runes became established wherever the Norse people settled for a substantial length of time, including on the Isle of Man. Southeast to Constantinople, with the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Emperor. Westward with the Vikings, as far as Greenland.Įastward with the Rus, to Russia and the Ukraine. The use of runes spread from the Scandinavian countries: ![]() This is analogous to the derivation of the word 'alphabet' from aleph, bet and alpha, beta. A runic alphabet is called a futhark (also futhorc or futhork), from the first six letters: F - U - Þ - A - R - K 1.

![]() I am requesting a religious exemption from the vaccine, because as a Christian, it is my sincerely held belief, as based on the clear and explicit teaching of God’s Inspired Word, the Holy Bible, that taking the COVID-19 vaccine would be a sin, and therefore a violation of my Christian faith and devotion to God. It is my understanding that I must receive one of the approved COVID-19 vaccines in order to maintain my employment. Note: be sure to keep a copy for your own files. I am also placing a link at the bottom of this post where the letter can be downloaded and printed, and then all you have to do is sign it and hand it in. ![]() If you become sick, or disabled, or die because of the vaccine, then their attitude is, "Too bad, so sad, stinks to be you!" So use this request letter at your own discretion, with the understanding that it might help and it might not. I simply believe the decision whether or not to receive the vaccine should be left up to the individual, and not dictated by the state or by an employer, especially in the current situation where none of them can be help liable if something goes wrong. Nor do I advocate either for or against the vaccines. I make to claim or guarantee as to its efficacy, however, as all employers and other authorities are always free to reject or otherwise ignore such requests. ![]() I am putting it up here for anyone to use if they so desire. I have written up a comprehensive request for a religious exemption to the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. ![]() ![]() ![]() He was in actuality as well as in title the commander in chief who, by his larger strategy, did more than Grant or any other general to win the war for the Union.” 3 Historian James M. Harry Williams said President Lincoln was “a great natural strategist, a better one than any of his generals. “The President is himself a man of great aptitude for military studies,” wrote aide John Hay early in the war. But Lincoln was a conscientious scholar – and he became a student of military tactics and eventually a better master of military strategy than his generals or Davis. The nation’s president did not have the military education or experience of his Confederate counterpart, Jefferson Davis. ![]() If you have not, please inform me, so that I, incompetent as I may be, can try assist in the formation of some plan for the Army.” 1 Have you already in your mind a plan wholly, or partially formed? If you have, prossecute it without interference from me. “An early movement would also help to supersede the bad moral effect of the recent one, which is sure to be considerably injurious. “If possible I would be very glad of another movement early enough to give us some benefit from the fact of the enemies communications being broken, but neither for this reason, or any other, do I wish anything done in desperation or rashness,” he advised the commander of the Army of the Potomac in May 1863 after the Battle of Chancellorsville. ![]() Lincoln himself deprecated his expertise even as he pushed West Point generals into more aggressive action.

This weekend, the foundation is celebrating its 75th anniversary. In her will, Agnes Wahl Nieman left a large part of her estate - which had been built by the Journal’s success - to Harvard to “promote and elevate the standards of journalism and educate persons deemed especially qualified for journalism.” That gift led to the Nieman Fellowships and the Nieman Foundation, of which Nieman Lab is a part. He died in 1935 the next year, so did his wife. Editor’s note: In 1882, not long before his 25th birthday, a Wisconsin newspaperman named Lucius Nieman gave his new paper, The Milwaukee Journal, a mission: “The Journal will be the outspoken, independent organ of the people against all that is wrong or unworthy of support in public men and the legislation of the State and nation.” Over the following half-century, he built the Journal into a nationally noted, Pulitzer-winning powerhouse. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can get a car through a driving school, see if a friend or family can accompany you with their car, or Skip offers a car and driver for the Tennessee road test which you can reserve ahead of time online.
