Bronze age Nordic women sometimes wore very very provocative short skirts. Thomas Froncek describes this in his book The Norhmen, and the theory that maybe only high class women wore them as a kind of boast that they could dress how they liked without being raped or harassed because they were so powerful. Other women in the Nordic Bronze age wore very long dresses but that isn’t so interesting to look at. The artwork if called Rites at Dawn by Christian Sloan Hall

It is the full moon of Hretha, Hrēþmōnaþ. Spring has sprung.
Only one month before Easter heralds the start of Summer.
It is a time for primroses and daffodils and lambing here in Devon.

Grimm believed Hrêða/Hrêðe to be cognate to Old High German Hrouda, with a connection to Hludana, attested in Frisia and western Germany, the root of whose name means fame, not unlike victorious/famous in Hrêðe.
Grimm linked Hludana with Old Norse Hlóðyn, a byname of Jörð/Frigg, who is also referred to as Hlín in the Völuspá, meaning protector. As a goddess governing fate, it makes sense She would be invoked in battle.

Tom considers the meaning of Heathen terms like goði, rune, galdra and treeman in relation to a long view of history encompassing the distant future. What are the forms of magic which will shape the world to come?

Halstatt salt mine in Austria with 3100 year old wooden staircase.
The Celts were a powerful culture perhaps because of the mineral resources of the mountains they mined but the Celts delved too greedily and too deep...

This 2nd/3rd c. Roman inscription from Bornheim, Germany translates as "after heeding the warning, Nigrinia Titul donated to Mercurius Hranno gladly and deservedly."
"Hranno" is Germanic and is cognate with one of Odin's names "Hrani." We also know that Odin was associated with the Roman god Mercurius. The proposed etymology requires PGmc Hrainô in alternative form or altered by metathesis to be Hranjô which then becomes Hrannjô from gemination of the consonant preceding -j- which is rendered by the Roman as Hrannon due to early west Germanic use of -on suffix as a form for the accusative of -an stem words. The same PGmc word became
Proto Norse Hranji and then ON Hrani. If correct this is the earliest written mention of Wotanaz
