Millstone

"In the lean months, communities lived off a bitterwheat berry so tough that its flour contained more millstone than grain." —*On the Early History of Keld*

i like how this came out but i definitely want to revisit it down the road because there's some layering i want to do with vocals.

there's an instrumental bridge that has some vocals normally but i opted to just play the bridge and not sing because of how quick the turn around was between the verses so whatever

i really like this song so ill definitely give it a crack again soon

Millstone - Orchha, 2013

[drmorbius12]

In the beginning I knew nothing of pain, only the wide-eyed innocence of freedom, and a mind unchained. My mother was an artist who believed the world was full of goodness, as she painted what she saw in everyone and everything. My father was a carpenter who built many things, and knew the worth of labour and desire, raising his sons to be honest, true and strong.

But so as turns the great Millstone, so it cannot be stopped, and all that lives and dies is ground beneath, leaving both grist and chaff to fall as it may. Knowing which we will become is when childhood ends, and sorrow, joy, and forgiveness begins.

/it's a self-inflicted wound/all my wounds are/

In the city where I was born and raised, there was great promise, but also guile and danger. It is said that opportunity knocks only once, and yet I have been given many, not knowing if I would succeed or fail, create or destroy.

/she loved with a pure love untouched by doubt or hesitation/I am bent but not broken/not yet/

I only know that somehow, for a purpose I have yet to fathom, I have been given a power few others possess. Within that power lies healing and sickness, life and death, and endless forks in a river of time that never stops flowing, with no beginning and no end.

/all my wounds are my own and will be my undoing/

Norsery Rhymes, Northern Mythology from A to Z Fenja - The Great Mill Maker, Warrior, and Thresher Well here we are another Thor’s Day and another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, sometimes Celtic) mythological characters. This week it’s another version of Fenja  / Fennia / Finnie. A Jotnar (Jötunn / Jotun / Jotunn / Jetten / Eoten / Giant. Mentioned in the Grottasöngr, Skáldskaparmál, Ynglinga saga.

Her name can be translated as ‘’the Fen Dweller”. From the Old Norse Fen, still used today meaning ‘wetlands’ or ‘marshes’ of the ancient peat forming kind. or Alternately as “Hearth Dweller”. She is called the “Marsh Dweller”, “the ‘thresher’ remover of the chaff from the wheat”, “the Hard Worker”.

Sister to Menia / Menja /Minnie who were always together, and as close as can be.

Menja and Fenja were tall and strong. With some ability to see the future. But not enough. They also built a magic millstone Grotti / Grótti / Grotta, that could grind out anything the grinder wanted for as long as they sang of it. They had fashioned Grotti out of the top of a mountain, and it was so heavy that no man could turn it on his own. Grotti is why they were prayed to for gold.

The grew up together as the closest pair spending several years underground, or in the underworld that gave them their gift of prophesy.

They were maiden free servants and warriors of several princes and kings including the powerful and wise King Fjolnir who oversaw, and maintained a time of peace and bounty gifted by his parents and his wisdom. And possibly from the magic of two giantesses who could grind from a millstone anything including peace and happiness and prosperity. They fought armies and prices, and were victorious in battle and resected for their talents. They travelled with him as his servants to the court of King Frodi / Fróði . Where they served him at least until he sold them to King Frodi who foolishly did not treat them as well, and lead to Frodi’s cursed downfall. How Frodi managed to buy them is never revealed. But It’s incredibly suspect.

Frodi kept them chained to the millstone, where he gave them no rest and demanded them to grind out all the peace and prosperity they had for Fjolnir, but also non stop gold. Frodi was never satisfied with their incredible results. Working them endlesly and berating them. Keeping the cold and dirty. They warned him that if he did not stop his ill treatment he would face ruin and death. When not supervised they ground out an army against Frodi that the Sea king Mysingr / Mýsingr aligned with to kill Frodi, and take all he had. Including Fenja, Menja and the Grotti stone.

But he had not learned from Frodi and they ground so much that his ship was low in the water, and impossible to maneuver and sank in a maelstrom whirlpool. Which is told to be one of the reasons the sea is salty.

There is no word on if they survived the sinking. But I like to think that the fact they were offered to for gold and other things indicates an expectation of them existing in some kind of power.

I’ve depicted her here in worse times.  I may do another version of her as a warrior next.

Bauernhof in Norddeutschland

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Joan Thynne of Caus Castle and Longleat took on all of the day-to-day work of running the estates. In September 1600, she reported in detail to her absent husband:

I have received the wheat which is very little, and not so much as we shall need at this time, not by forty bushels, for this will not serve one of your fields, and for the sacks, they shall be presently returned to you again. They demand much more than you write that I should give them for the carriage of the millstone, but he shall have no more than you have set down. I have received one hundred and four score pounds five shillings and four pence, there is a great part of it owing, of the rest I will make what spare I can. I know your travail to be both great and troublesome, for the which I am heartily sorry, wishing that it lay in me any way to ease it. For sending of beefs thither, they must be fat and very forward in fat before they come hither, for here is very little grass to feed any here, by the reason of the great wet which hath been here very lately, for all the Lord's Meadow is covered with water so that there can be no feeding of any beast till there be frost to dry it up, and the rest of the grounds are not much for feeding, considering how many are here already.
