The name “rowan” is derived from the Old Norse name for the tree, raun. Linguists believe that the Norse name is ultimately derived from a proto-Germanic word raudnian meaning “getting red” and which referred to the red foliage and red berries in the autumn. [via Wikipedia] In some regions it’s referred to as “Dogberry” tree.

Midwinter Fire
Welcome to Midwinter Fire, a collection of things that we find personally inspiring for Heathenism. Although we focus on Scandinavian culture, also represented here are other Northern European sources including Celtic, Scottish and Slavic. We live in rural Vermont.

By the way, whatever you do, don't view this in IE. It's crap.
