Anglo-Saxon Creatures

Anglo Saxon creature lore moves between halls, churches, rivers, wetlands, and boundary stones. Beings confront travellers at fords, barrows, and woodland tracks and they shadow feasts and vigils through the night. Symbols include ring and spear, candle and bell, carved rood, and woven scrip that holds charms. Entries supply Old English and later spellings and note attestations in verse, homily, and chronicle. Roles include oath tester, grave guardian, marsh sentinel, and herald who warns of breach or pride.
