*Ø* Blogmanac July 29 | Time of Thorn/Feast day of St Olaf, king of Norway
Around this time, ancient Northern Tradition honours the god whom the Anglo-Saxons called Thunor and the Norse, Thor. The time of Thorn, as it is known, is a period of proper order and higher powers. This day also honours the sainted Norwegian king, Olaf, murdered around Lammas Day (an ancient festival on August 1, a time when other European kings of old were allegedly murdered, but in fact relates to harvest magic). Traditionally it was portrayed on calendars with the sign of the axe.
