The name is thought to be derived either from the medieval meaning “high day” or the meaning “to bind.” Both are fitting, since Hocktide celebrates an auspicious occasion for the Saxons in 1002 A.C.E.– the day King Ethelred the Unready seized and devastated  the Danes.  Of course the marauding Danes… Continue reading Happy Hocktide: Kisses or Coins
