...Y'know, I got this a long time ago at Space is a Waste, and...why did I not really sit down and read this before the huge fallout? SoSsy summed it up by saying it means destiny in Old English (and made me feel like I've done nothing with my life), but...well, if you knew how much I think about reprocussions, you'd swear I was freakin' Post. And who knows? I am a very complicated person...

"...They recognized cause and effect, and the interconnectedness of all
things. The word to describe this interconnectedness was "wyrd", which was
eventually perverted into the modern meaning of "weird". It did not
originally mean something unusual or strange. Rather, it referred to the
far-reaching effects of that which one does. The concept of "fate" was
also not as we know it now. Instead of a helpless predestination, "fate"
meant a destiny created by one's earlier actions. Wyrd was pictured as a
web, like that of a spider. The symbology is excellent. When the spider
steps onto a thread (a path) the vibrations affect the entire web and that
which is contained within the web, just as our actions affect our
immediate world and those around us, and the actions of others affect our
lives..."

And did I ever tell you me and Post both like Dr. Pepper? Kinda blows you mind, huh? Rings within rings...
