King In The North

The Fair Folk

The Wild Hunt

When the winter winds blow and the Yule fires are lit, it is best to stay indoors, safely shut away from the dark paths and the wild heaths.

Mother Earth, hear me calling I’m Your daughter, You’re my home Sister Moon, hear me calling In the night, we’re not alone Father Sun, hear me calling Let your strong light shine in me All my ancestors stand by me Teach my spirit to be free……

The complete Icelandic staves / Ásatrú symbol series. (Artwork 2015)

Reupload of one of my most popular posts.

Each artwork is representing an element. They are presented here in the following order : fire, earth, metal, water, wood and air. The symbols are accompanied by stanzas of the Hávamál or Völuspá, written in runes.

Disclaimer for purists : admittedly for aesthetic effect only, as these runes are Elder Futhark and thus predates the viking era by a few centuries. (Let’s not even go into the subject of Icelandic staves which are even a lot younger than that). The transcription is also a wild approximation, again accuracy wasn’t a concern during the creative process.

The stanzas :

1) Fire : Helm of Terror

Cattle die and kinsmen die, thyself too soon must die, but one thing never, I ween, will die fair fame of one who has earned.

2) Earth : Vegvísir

Happy is he who hath in himself praise and wisdom in life; for oft doth a man ill counsel get when ‘tis born in another’s breast

3) Metal : Hólastafur

Hard is it in the world, great whoredom, an axe age, a sword age, shields shall be cloven, a wind age, a wolf age, ere the world sinks.

4) Water : Veiðistafur

He welcomes the night who has enough provisions Short are the sails of a ship, Dangerous the dark in autumn, The wind may veer within five days, And many times in a month.

5) Wood : Varnarstafur Valdemars

An ash I know, Yggdrasil its name, With water white is the great tree wet; Thence come the dews that fall in the dales, Green by Urth’s well does it ever grow.

6) Air : Valknut

Thought and Memory each morning fly Over the vast earth: Thought, I fear, may fail to return, But I fear more for Memory.
