This scene was really powerful.

It is very easy to misinterpret words, read them out of context or manipulate them to justify your actions.

The real art is to read with an open mind, to discover the truth in the truth and to get to the real meaning.

Slavs and Vikings Festival in Wolin, Poland

The Slavs and Vikings Festival is one of the largest early-medieval events in the world. There are archery and spear-throwing competitions, games and contests for kids, craft-making presentations demonstrating how jewelry, coins, horns, and amber were created, live music, readings, and much more.

Wolin is a town located on Poland’s largest island (of the same name) on the coast of the Baltic Sea. It's a City of History, whose glory days date back to 1000 years ago. In the early Middle Ages, it was one of the largest and most powerful cities in this part of Europe, and ranked among the most important ports of the Baltic Sea. Wolin is considered to have been the gateway through which Scandinavians traveled southwards from the Baltic Sea to inland Piast state.

lando’s win in zandvoort is for sure going to make the rest of this year interesting. especially since we saw the issues red bull has first hand and how much max couldn’t handle it (he drove amazing though no hate).

but it also sets up for an interesting 2025 year. because we know lando is great of course- but so is oscar. and im really interested to see how mclaren handles having two really good drivers on the grid. especially since oscar is wdc material. i’m not entirely sure what this race is foreshadowing yet but it’s foreshadowing something and it’s going to showcase in 2025.

also- max’s future at red bull. this race proved that red bull is well and truly falling quickly and with the exit of that engineer (i’m so tired i forgot his name) it sets up for an even more disastrous 2025- especially if red bull loses the wcc to mclaren which is a very real scenario and has been for a few races now. i also think while they didn’t have hopes to win this race- they were not expecting to lose THAT MUCH to norris. so now max is probably asking what’s his deal with red bull. and we know he’s not planning to stay if f1 forever, maybe a few more years. i do wonder if it makes sense for toto to revisit his persuasion and have max do some crazy resurgence of dominance with mercedes in 2026 if red bull continue to fall off.

i know if i was toto i would at least try and bring up those points- and those ring more true and evident now then when he was trying to get verstappen for 2025.

I… was tricked. Everything he said was a lie. Kolbe is a wicked man. If only… that were true. Things would be much easier. But it's not so. He's a good man. He really is looking out for me. This must be the best I can hope for. This is my reality.

Piast Kołodziej

Bez Jezusa nie pokonałam swojego serca, które chce kochać wiecznie. No i cóż Jezu - czy będziemy się ścigać , kto pierwszy stanie przed Świętym Obliczem Ojca ? To takie.... -proste. -Nie, Jezu. - dla mnie jest to okultyzm, a tego bym nie chciała. -Ale beze Mnie będziesz się w tych sprawach bardzo męczyła. ................... ................... - To mogłoby być absurdalne Myszko, gdyby w "grę" nie wchodziłą tak wielka miłość do Mnie. Czy bez skazy? Nie wiem, po prostu nie wiem. A wiesz co znaczy Moje nie wiem. - Że mogę się opierać także i w tych sprawach. - Tak, w sprawach proroctwa. Spróbuj być grzecznie moją oblubienicą. To ci wystarczy - na wiele. - spraw? - Nie, na wiele próśb, na zażegnanie wielu złorzeczeń, któe ludzie mają w związku ze Mną. , bo zapomnieli połączyć się ze MNą z modlitwą na ustach. -I z uczuciem do Ciebie w sercu. - Za wiele wymagasz. :) - To smutny uśmiech. -Wiem. - Kochaj mnie Jezu łągodną miłością zmartwychwstałego Baranka. - To ci się nie uda. - Mimo to próbuję. - Myszko , czy ty jesteś śmiała? - To zależy - Mizoginizm? O to Mnie oskarżyłaś? -Nie mówmy o tym. -Starczyło ci serca? - Z ledwością - To wszystko otwiera ci rany- tego chcesz - Muszę kończyć. - Myszko... Myszko... - Ależ idę się modlić. -Przełykam ślinę , tak dobrze, tak można. To możliwe. - Spotkać się u Taty? - Nie tego oczekiwałem. - Jako mój Mąż? - Oczekiwałem cudu. I go mam... oczekiwałem

FOUR WIVES OF LADISLAUS JAGIELLO AESTHETICS

↪ anne of cilli

“ in the literature is well—established opinion that anne was a calm, passive person who had no particular influence on her husband, his advisors and the public life of the kingdom. anne never took jadwiga's place, because it wasn't even legally possible — jadwiga was born prepared for the role of queen, which she later fulfilled with distinction in all areas. anne, on the other hand, was not raised to be future queen and had to prepare herself for such an important position in short period of time. despite that, she was warmly welcomed in poland and throughout her life with the king, accompanied him on his journeys, fulfilling her representative role that, due to her piast origins, took a political character on polish lands. [...] anne participated in many political events in the background, so we can conclude her political involvement was mostly a formality, but there are some indications that she was not as passive as it might seem at first glance.”

“Unique” Medieval Gold Ring Found in Poland

An elaborately decorated medieval gold ring, likely to be from the 11th or 12th century, has been discovered buried beneath Wawel Castle, the former seat of Poland’s kings in the city of Kraków. It is the only one of its kind ever found on Polish territory. “Wawel never ceases to surprise us,” wrote the castle museum on social media while announcing the “exceptional discovery” on Monday.

The ring is decorated with opposing faces, making it extremely unusual. Only a few early medieval gold rings have been found in Poland and they are devoid of ornamentation or have simple geometric patterns.

That makes the latest find “unique”, says Jerzy Trzebiński from the castle museum’s archaeology department. “This is the only example in which human images (or figural ones in general) are depicted on an early medieval ring from Poland.”

He also notes that the item contains no references to Christianity (which had begun to be established in Poland from the 10th century) and suggests that the two faces could represent Janus, the two-faced Roman God.

Given that the form of the ring is typical for that period in Poland, Trzebiński believes it was probably a local product and could have belonged to a member of the elites under the Piasts, Poland’s first ruling dynasty from when the state was established in the 10th century until the 14th century.

The item was discovered during archaeological research in the basement of the so-called Danish Tower (Wieża Duńska), one of the castle’s four residential towers.

It was built from the late 14th to early 15th century on the orders of King Władysław II Jagiełło as part of the reconstruction of a previously existing tower. The tower’s facade was then added in the 16th century.

The building took its name from one of its first guests, Eric, king of Denmark, Sweden and Norway (often known as Eric of Pomerania). He stayed there in 1424 while attending the coronation of King Władysław’s fourth wife, Sophia of Halshany.

The ring was found on top of the remains of a former stone structure, probably a defensive rampart. The history of Wawel Castle dates back to the 11th century, but long before then the hill that it sits upon had been an important seat of power.
