#Scotstober Day 21 #Weird

Today’s word is weird.

Weird doesn’t mean the same as it does in English. In Scots, it’s all about the supernatural. It means fate, destiny, fortune. Weird covers The Fates (like the weird Sisters), wizards, warlocks. It also means prophecy and prediction. If it’s magickal, supernatural, then weird is the word to use. My mum used to call my clothes, witchcraft books, and herbs, my weirdy gear. ? ?

Here’s a link to more definitions for weird.

Well, that’s it for today’s #Scotstober post. See you tomorrow ?

Ma wee, drummure weird (My wee, sad-looking wizard)
