RUNE ART: THE DRAGON AND THE SPEAR Part II - JOURNEYS IN TEXTURE

Welcome to Part II of "THE DRAGON AND THE SPEAR" rune art project "JOURNEYS IN TEXTURE" that showed further creative travels with the mystical world of the Anglo-Saxon FUTHORC through a visual exploration of these ancient staves using an abstract theme. Part I was of the project was entitled "Journeys of Anglo-Saxon Staves."

The FUTHORC, an extended version of the older Elder Futhark, consisted of 26 to 33 runes used by the Anglo-Saxons and Frisians from the 5th to the 11th centuries CE. Each stave not only served as a letter but also held significant symbolic and magical meanings, often associated with natural elements, deities, and everyday life.

The Dragon and The Spear symbolise power, protection, and the journey of the soul. The dragon, a creature of legend, represents the primal forces of nature and the guardian of treasures. The spear, a weapon of both war and ceremony, signifies strength, direction, and the warrior’s path. Together, they weave a symbolic narrative of courage, wisdom, and the eternal quest for knowledge.

The project was created from a personal collection of images foraged from originals found via Tumblr, Flickr, Facebook, Google, DeviantArt, ArtStation & occasional screenshots. These designs were then modified to idiosyncratic personal preferences with the combined use of:

▪︎ Serif DrawPlus X8

▪︎ Mirror Lab [Ilixa]

▪︎ Chroma Lab [Ilixa]

▪︎ Artificial Intelligence [Copilot]

Through this series of images, you are invited to experience a visual richness of these ancient symbols. Each picture in this collection was designed to evoke textures symbolising the beauty and timeless mystery of the Anglo-Saxon era.

This post showed 33 images created by @gifts-of-heimdall-runes the Anglo-Saxon FUTHORC and an additional ten designs based upon representing the nine realms of ancient norse mythology within Yggdrasil, The World Tree. A tree of life image was found by PINTEREST.

'The Dragon & The Spear: Journeys in Texture' was created Summer 2024 and posted Autumn 2024 on Instagram & Facebook. It was shared to honour Spirit inspiration and for fun.

Part III of "The Dragon and The Spear" entitled "JOURNEYS WITHIN WYRD" will follow in 2025.

My free knitting pattern for the rune-inspired Jera Lace and Cable Choker is finished and the written pattern is now available on the blog.

The design has been inspired by the Jera Rune, the 12th rune from the Elder Futhark.

Jera symbolises connection and perpetual movement, the recurring seasons and the natural cycle.

FUTHARK RING CIRCLES Rune Art 2020 - 2021 Gifts_Of_Heimdall_Runes ● ‘Futhark Ring Circles’ groups a loose collection of the following seven designs. All were a likely byproduct of being unhealthily over-fixated on the futhark rune ring, but discovery of some PNGs with lovely background textures via DeviantArt & Flickr proved rather too compelling. ● 'Futhark Ring Circles’ were broadly created September 2020 to March 2020 but took a while to reach this blog because sharing 'Bifröst Shining - Rune Reflections’ took priority. The images however provided an unexpected but convenient link to a new collection of rune art which follows this section. ● 1.
