The Old Heathen's Emporium : Heathen Goods : Hwaet!
"Hwaet!" is the opening word of Beowulf and several other epics in the Old English language. It can be translated more or less as "Listen!" or "Hark!" or "Lo!" -- or as Seamus Heaney rendered it, "So." Anyway, here it is, in Old English spelling -- that second letter isn't a p, it's a letter called wynn that was derived from the rune alphabet and used for w. Perfect gifts for the Beowulf-geek or general medievalist in your life.
