History and Etymology
The genus name Lobularia comes from a Greek word meaning "small pod", referring to the shape of the fruits. The name of the species maritima refers to its preferred coastal habitat.
Alyssum (n.) Type of European flowering plant, 1550s, from Latin alysson, from Greek alysson, which is perhaps the neuter of adjective alyssos "curing madness," from a- "not, without" + lyssa "madness, martial rage, fury," an abstract word probably literally "wolf-ness" and related to lykos "wolf"; but some see a connection with "light" words, in reference to the glittering eyes of the mad. To this I add, is madness or rage when in a time of threat and war mode is required, is such actually 'madness as derogatory as implied' or is nature given madness at times actually, self preservation? If it is nature’s instinct to preserve oneself and ones community then I conclude the 'madness in a derogatory sense' is actually the unnatural acceptance of a threat, when nature natural installed a wolf mode into us when faced with a real threat. On Wolf The name Wulfstan shows, Wulf is one of the commonest compounds in Anglo-Saxon names, appearing also in Beowulf (literally "bee-wolf," a kenning for "bear"), Cynewulf, Ealdwulf and Ethelwulf. Surnames like Lowell, Lovel, and Lovett are versions of diminutives of "wolf" in Old French or Anglo-Norman, either from nicknames "wolf cub," or meaning "son of Wolf." They came to England with the Normans. Richard Luvel (Ricardus lupellus in a c. 1118 charter from Sussex) was descended from William, earl of Yvery, who was called Lupellus to distinguish him from his father, Robert, who had acquired the nickname Lupus because of his violent temper. The Italian equivalent, Lupino, was the name of a theatrical family who settled in England by 1642. Wulf by itself, however, was late and uncommon as a personal name in Old English. M. Redin, "Studies on Uncompounded Personal Names in Old English" [Uppsala, 1919] doubts if any of the examples are really native and not from viking. The modern frequency of the surname in the U.S. is due to immigrants from Germany. Ælf ranks with wulf among the most popular component in Anglo-Saxon names, many of which survive as modern given names and surnames: Ælfræd "Elf-counsel" (Alfred), Ælfwine "Elf-friend" (Alvin), Ælfric "Elf-ruler" (Eldridge), also women's names such as Ælfflæd "Elf-beauty." The Irish Werewolf Not thought of as a monster, but a skin walker or shape shifter that is guardian and protector of children, wounded men and people whom are lost. In some ancient sources some werewolves were even recruited by kings in times of war. The Werewolves are natively known as 'Faoladh' or 'Conroicht' to Gaels/Ireland. In my work with wolves including their spirits this is how I have always seen and experienced them since childhood. As protectors and I've always found their demonization grating which to be honest seems to always be coming from an angle of Abrahamic influence/agenda especially when this agenda took hold of Europe and also I might add 'Interpreted and retold all our European Sagas including of the Norse'. It is in that light I only believe the stories I'm shown from beings and my first hand experience over religious propaganda... Especially when coming from what I refer to as someone who is or no better than a village idiot repeating a tale based on low thinking/hive and not individual deduction or actual experience. As a final note or conclusion on the Irish tradition of being a skin changer or 'Conroicht' I fully believe the turning upside down and demonization of the ability even if it is a temporary change of mindset that makes one 'battle ready' is more about not becoming a threat to the status quo or 'Authority' especially authority which is of foreign interest that is a threat to one's community. Perhaps no matter how much wolves and werewolves are demonised, there is always somewhere especially within the European soul, a desire no matter how dimmed out, to run with the wolves and fight tenaciously when cornered or threatened. No matter the demonization what is also clear the wolf and the other ancestral beings of which Europeans or white folk/folklore descend from, still influence our names and traditions long after the attempt of those outside trying to erase and re-write them. |
Carl Linnaeus
(1705-1778) Also known after his ennoblement as Carl von Linné, was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin, and his name is rendered in Latin as Carolus Linnæus. Linnaeus has been called Princeps botanicorum (Prince of Botanists) and "The Pliny of the North". He is also considered as one of the founders of modern ecology In botany and zoology, the abbreviation L. is used to indicate Linnaeus as the authority for a species' name. In older publications, the abbreviation "Linn." is found. Linnaeus's remains comprise the type specimen for the species Homo sapiens following the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, since the sole specimen that he is known to have examined was himself. |
