Say What I Am by Ben Waggoner
Say What I Am collects forty-nine of the best of the Old English riddles found in the Exeter Book, the largest surviving collection of Old English poetry, plus two more found in other manuscripts. Carefully translated by Ben Waggoner, these riddles provide a unique look into the Anglo-Saxon worldview. Through their poetry, common tools and household objects-a key, a plough, an oven, a butter churn-are shown to possess hidden beauty, humor, and wonder. Birds, bees, plants, beasts, men and women, and even stars are described in rich metaphor, often getting a chance to speak for themselves. These riddles make a witty and charming introduction to the culture and daily life of Anglo-Saxon England.The Troth is a global organization that brings together a variety of Germanic Heathenry pathways and traditions, including satr, Theodish Belief, Urglaawe, Forn Sed, and Anglo-Saxon Heathenry. We welcome those who have been called to follow the ancient traditions of Heathenry, and who have heard the voices of the Heathen Gods and Goddesses, our ancestors, the landvttir, and the spirits surrounding us.
