Description

The original Beagnoth Seax was found in the River Thames at Battersea in 1857 and is on display in the British Museum. This wonderful item is a replica of this amazing Anglo-Saxon sword as it would have been in its full glory. It is decorated with elaborate patterns of inlaid copper, bronze and silver wire. On one side of the blade is the only known complete inscription of the twenty-eight letter Anglo-Saxon runic alphabet, as well as the name 'Beagnoth' in runic letters (possibly the name of the owner or the smith who forged it). Although many Anglo-Saxon and Viking swords and knives have inscriptions in the Latin alphabet on their blades, or runic inscriptions on the hilt or scabbard, the Seax of Beagnoth is one of only a handful of finds with a runic inscription on its blade. This faithful replica is based on the dimensions of the original. It has a hand forged steel blade with wood grip and hand crafted leather scabbard. A wonderful, wonderful item that brings alive the masterful skill of the anything but 'dark age' craftsmen!

Brief History Paganism: 

Paganism represents a wide variety of traditions that emphasize reverence for nature and a revival of ancient polytheistic and animistic religious practices.  Paganism is not a traditional religion per se because it does not have any official doctrine, but it does have some common characteristics joining the great variety of traditions. One of the common beliefs is the divine presence in nature and the reverence of the natural order in life. Spiritual growth is related to the cycles of the Earth and great emphasis is placed on ecological concerns. Monotheism is almost universally rejected within Paga
