Listen "Episode 3: Weird"
Episode Synopsis
Today's episode looks at the Old English sense of the word wyrd. Originally, it wasn't an adjective, but a noun that's commonly translated into Modern English as 'fate.' However, this oversimplified translation doesn't tell the word's full story. By comparing and contrasting etymological and cultural evidence, it's clear that wyrd and "fate" are really not the same thing at all.
