Solmonath potest dici mensis placentarum quas in eo diis suis offerebant – Bede. (Sol-Monath can be said to be the month of cakes, which were offered to their gods).
Solmōnaþ fell around our February and as Bede claimed, was named for Sol-cakes (hearth cakes) that were offered to the gods. The hearth cake recipe was very simple (according to the Early English Bread Project) just flour and water - anything from pea flour to wheat or rye depending on wealth. The Irish word bannock and the Germanic scone both come from words meaning ‘flour’ so may have a similar origin. My family-hearth will make an offering of these on the Solmōnaþ full moon, which falls on the 12th.

WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. In a message on his Telegram channel recently recounting the episode, Durov wrote: "I lost my company and my home, but would do it again – without hesitation." The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform.
