Like many people I have experimented with AI systems ChatGpt and stable diffusion ONLINE. Formatting a story outline in to a script with ChatGpt worked better than expected.

Stable Diffusion prompts is more of a challenge.

Welcome to Autumn
In early medieval Anglo-Saxon calendars, August 7 is the first day of autumn.
We are halfway between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox.
In Old English autumn is hærfest, and the beginning of autumn coincides with the beginning of the harvest: August 1 was Lammas, the 'feast of bread', the earliest festival of the wheat harvest when loaves made from the first corn were blessed.

For no apparent reason other than I was just reading about him, here’s King Aethelstan giving a book to St Cuthbert (who was long dead at this time so that was clever). It’s the oldest surviving pic of an English king.

Both day 1 and 2 of the new so far were really good. Sam Newton's poem at the end of 2 made me cry, Paul Blinkhorn, the pot-monkey is back and he's just great in 2 and Helen Geake's site is beyond phenomenal. Everyone is awesome in this, don't get me wrong. Gus is a nice fit as presenter and I was so happy to see Jackie and Naomi return as well, I just love it! My favourite thing about the new shows is that they have more time to document each day!

Behold the likely face of a 7th-century girl
A teen with a tale that can unfurl
Isotropic analysis revealed her diet
Revealed a migrant sure and quiet
From Southern Germany to England she came
This Anglo-Saxon maiden of fame

Researchers reconstruct lifestyle and face of 7th-century Anglo-Saxon teen

Dr. Leggett said, "She must have known that she was important and she had to carry that on her shoulders. Her isotopic results match those of two other women who were similarly buried on beds in this period in Cambridgeshire."

The amazing Undley Gold Bracteate (400 CE) from Britain which is has Druid symbols, Roman symbol, and an Alphabetic Akkadian text. The language of all these Elder Futhark Runes are Akkadian which indicates Druids were indeed specialized Akkadian speaking priests that did exist past the Roman era. (Culturally, Akkadian seems to be like late Medieval Latin at this time). Akkadian was the language of the Neolithic farmers who built Stonehenge. The text reads (in Akkadian it is also a tongue twister):

"Make-super, make-super, make-super the soaking. Make-super the activity-level. Fertility-fluids are not being activated."

This text is a plea for avoiding a drought by using magic. It is claiming not enough rain is being made because the fertility-fluids needed to trigger it is not being pushed (activated) enough to get through the life network of Hu.

Experience: Meeting the Ædwynna (A Thread)

As the man ventured into the woods on that peaceful spring day, he found himself immersed in the symphony of nature. The vibrant melodies of the birds intertwined with the gentle hum of insects, and the sweet scent of bluebells filled the air, casting a serene spell upon the surroundings.

Lost in the tranquillity of the moment, the man walked deeper into the heart of the woods until, unexpectedly, an unusual stillness fell upon the forest. The chorus of nature fell silent, and a hushed anticipation filled the atmosphere. It was as if the very essence of the woods was holding its breath.

With a sudden jolt, the man's attention was drawn to a figure emerging from the ethereal mist. Standing before him was a deity, radiating an ancient power that resonated with the earth itself. The deity spoke her name: Ædwynna, a testament to the rich history of the land.

Ædwynna revealed herself as the local goddess of the woods and the sacred springs, a guardian who protected the very area they stood upon. Her presence exuded wisdom and grace, and a sense of deep connection to the natural world.

In this mystical encounter, the man felt his heart race, and a mixture of awe and reverence coursed through his veins. The deity's voice, like the whispering wind through the trees, reached his ears, imparting profound knowledge.
