Tunwinni Stone At St Mary and St Michael, Great Urswick, England 700 CE

Tunwinni Stone 700 CE

(November 9, 2025) (November 9, 2025) This is a very important text because it is from a time when Druidry was transitioning to Celtic Christianity. Christianity was seen as a movement promoting life powers and being antagonistic to all emotion/motion powers. This role which each type of power should play in Druidry had long been a source of controversy so that this spin for Christianity was not unfamiliar. This sort of Christianity existing within the Druid worldview would be suppressed with the arrival of the Normans who enforced Roman Catholic orthodoxy.

The Tunwinni stone was found in 1911 when the plaster was being stripped from the walls of the church at Urswick. Professor W.G. Collingwood dated the stone to between 850 - 870 AD.

The church at Urswick is a Grade I listed structure and officially dates to the 13th century. The earliest parts of the building appear to be the tower and the Chancel dating to just after the Norman invasion of 1066. The Nave and the vestry date from a 14th century extension of the church.

Translation (Justified below)

Astrology-magic can affect Hu' prodding. Don't do astrology-magic. Don't emanate energy for Hu.
Openings can't compensate for envy. The life-threads prodding will not be disabled.
Life-threads can sack the Moon-Eye. Emotional-arousal will cause fear ejecting the emanations.
Devotion will disable energy. Fertility-fluids will be allocated. Pain emanates from involvement.
Openings are fate-shifting the network-birds equalizing the fertility-fluids. Pain is not being revealed. Don't emanate the Greaser (Thu).
