Mapping the Wyrd

In the beginning there was a sacred thread.A thread of binding, warp and weft.A thread of binding, strand to strand.In the formation of the thread, the world.In the weaving of the thread, the wyrd.What is the wyrd? To the ancients, the Saxons, the Norse, wyrd is fate.And fate is woven.In my studies of the runes these past years two things have come clear: historical record and our dependence on quantifiable experience have left fractures in the web. A hole torn without regard for the strands.
