“A more-than-worthy successor to THEOD Magazine.”- Gárman Lord
Welcome to Spellstów, the official newsletter of the Wínland Ríce and is published by Háliggyld Books of the Ealdríce Théodish Fellowship. The newsletter’s name, Spellstów is itself an Old English word meaning “a place (OE: stów) where news (OE: spell) is abanned (announced).” As one might well fathom from such a name, Spellstów serves as the means by which the Ríce, its théods, guilds, and halls, “abanns its spells” to its friends throughout heathendom.
Spellstów is published quarterly at Solmónaþ (February), Þrimilce (May), Weodmónaþ (August), and Blótmónaþ (November) and includes articles and abannings from Géring Théod (New York), the Ealdríce Háliggyld (Virginia), Hræfnscír Heall (British Columbia), and Æppeldor Friðstów (Tasmania).
