RUNE ART: WOOD AND BONE ELDER FUTHARK [ST.JINX ART]
THE WOOD AND BONE RUNIC ORACLE was a rune deck with artwork created by New Zealand artist St. Jinx and a guide written by Walter Freyrsson, that was published late 2018 and marketed by The Game Crafter.
The deck contained twenty-four cards of the Elder Futhark illustrated with homoerotic imagery. The deck was available as censored and R18 uncensored versions. The rune oracle deck was accompanied by the following text:
"WOOD AND BONE AND PATH UNKNOWN: GAY RUNIC ORACLE
A RUNIC SYSTEM THAT MERGES THE MYSTERlOUS TRADITION OF THE RUNES WITH THE PERSPECTIVES AND DRIVES MEN-WHO-LOVE-MEN.
THIS DECK IS A DEPARTURE FROM THE USUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE RUNES WITH EACH CARD PROUDLY DEPICTING STRONG HOMOEROTIC IMAGERY
HOWEVER THE CARDS AT THEIR CORE MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELDER FUTHARK ON WHICH THEY ARE DERIVED
WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE WOOD AND BONE ORACLE, AND THAT YOU FIND INSPIRATION FROM THE DIVINE MESSAGE THE RUNES HOLD FOR YOU AND THOSE YOU READ FOR."
In February 2021, the artwork was adapted for a new deck 'WOOD AND BONE REINVENTED' that extended the deck to 42 cards with additional artwork created by St. Jinx. The omission of the runes was the main change to the reinvented deck. These images of the full deck of 42 cards were copied from @st-jinx-art originals.
The Wood and Bone Elder Futhark artwork by St. Jinx was shared on an earlier blog by @gifts-of-heimdall-runes that was collected from various online sources. The collection was mounted for this post to celebrate a return to the original rune inspiration.
On a final personal note, the uncensored deck was purchased by me in 2019. Regrettably, these images were too R18 to be shared in this blog, but I'm happy to report that, without exception, the deck showed lots of explicit gay sex and big willies.
