@richardiiisocca.bsky.socialHappy October! The most common #LaboursOfTheMonth was sowing seeds. This fellow is rather earlier than our usual 15th C manuscripts but we liked his attitude. That frame can hardly contain him! (MS N.19, f. 4r) #Medieval #MedievalSky

Easily share pics of Viking heritage from your photo archives... like this super pic of a modern runestone (the Vasastenen) taken by user Ingski and submitted this week.
@shieldofskuld.bsky.socialEggers does manage to create a very distinct atmospheric folk horror, although far from Bergman’s philosophical musings - impossible to pull off with today’s audience anyway. #medievalsky

@culinavetus.bsky.socialGrapenbraden is a Low German unicorn hunt, a beloved dish with no surviving recipe. Hafen braten means the same thing in High German, and there are a few texts. The rest is hope, and a decent onion sauce.
