Wyrd is a concept in Anglo-Saxon culture roughly corresponding to fate or personal destiny. Their concept of fate, wyrd, was stronger than that of the Classical Pagans as there was no resisting it. The word is ancestral to Modern English weird, which retains its original meaning only dialectically.
The cognate term in Old Norse is urðr, with a similar meaning, but also personalized as one of the Norns, Urðr (anglicized as Urd) and appearing in the name of the holy well Urðarbrunnr in Norse mythology.
The Old English term wyrd derives from a Common Germanic term *wurđíz.Wyrd has cognates in Old Saxon wurd, Old High German wurt, Old Norse urðr, Dutch worden (to become), and German werden. The Proto-Indo-European root is *wert- "to turn, rotate", in Common Germanic *wirþ- with a meaning "to come to pass, to become, to be due" (also in weorþ, the notion of "origin" or "worth" both in the sense of "connotation, price, value" and "affiliation, identity, esteem, honour and dignity.)

Based on the story by Terry Pratchett, this animated feature is fun for all the family. Masterful storytelling and character development, this is a must see for any fans of British comedy, or fantasy animation. Seeing as how Terry will likely not be with us much longer, please share these films, and continue his legacy.

Wyrd-The Hounds Of The Falls This is a song from the band Wyrd. *DISCLAMER* I dont own this, so give credits to the amazing band! Lyrics: The rivers, the lakes, and the oceans All stood still, And nothing stirred within Their silent depths Ships sailorless lay Rotting on the sea And their masts fell Piecemeal Come September, Summer dies away Come October, So cold are our ways Come September, Summer dies away Come October, So short are our days They slept on the abyss Without a surge The waves were dead The tides were in their grave And the clouds perished; Darkness had no need Of aid from them She was the universe This is from the album Kammen, buy it at... http://www.amazon.com/Kammen-Wyrd/dp/B000X9ZFDK/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s;=music&qid;=1239331073&sr;=8-1
http://www.support.ThunderWizard.com The pre-Christian Teutonic Shamanic view of time is still reflected in modern English with the word "weird" which means something inexplicable, strange or frightening. This is a hold-over from our pagan shamanic past which saw time as being the weaving of three primordial giantesses called "norns" who wove the fabric of existence from three sources; Origin - Coming into Being and Debt.
From Wyrd - Death Of The Sun. Available in January 2016 via Moribund Records
The sun sets below the foam of the ocean
And the shore is fast asleep
I stood on the mountain and sang
When my verses hit the water they were already dead
I know where the sun sleeps at night
Down in the lonely sea
I know where the sun hides at night
Up a tall spruce-tree
The song vanished behind the pine-trees
And the dusk cried it away
Below the depths of the ever storming sea
My song of something that will never return
I know where the sun sleeps at night
Down in the lonely sea
I know where the sun hides at night
Up a tall spruce-tree
Struck by your words like stones
The grief comes like winters cold, cutting breath
I want to turn the sun and the moon from their paths
And press the countless stars in my fist
I shall curse this world
Turn back the sun
Turn back the moon
I shall curse this world
Turn back the day
Turn back the night
And when I have trampled it all underfoot
Smiling I'll turn my back on life
I know where I'll sleep tonight
Down in the lonely sea
And when the dawn has blown upon it's fire
