there's a light shining on the surface reflected in thousands of waves but my true light is beneath the surface 'cause only the depths can endure such a shine

Viking sword with beautiful decorations. 

The extreme nature of the ornamentation on this sword, combined with the unusual (for Scandinavia) motifs coupled with the apparent lack of a fuller (lenticular, ‘grooveless’ sword blades being a common hallmark of swords from Constantinople) may indicate that this sword was manufactured in Byzantium and may have belonged to a Varangian Guardsman or may have been gifted to a Nordic person held in esteem by the Romans Read more: http://sword-site.com/thread/1066/ornamented-lenticular-viking-byzantine-manufacture#ixzz40SiXOPHc 11-12c AD

Special large leather journal adorned with genuine lizard leather straps, deep embossing and hand tinted leather for the fine collectors among you. Blank book is in 8 x 10 inches size, thickness around 3 inches and has 350 leaves (700 pages) of cream toned paper in 100 gsm paper weight. The inside cover - endpapers are marbled parchment which gives it a nice touch. The aged paper edges all contribute to that authentic vintage look. More pictures of this book can be seen on the link below: https://alexlibrisbookart.wordpress.com/2016/12/08/the-book-of-shadows From customer reviews: “… and the paper, while listed as 100 gsm, is absolutely not bleed-through at all - I’ve used a fountain pen, a quill with India ink, and even a Sharpie!!!!” “The book is of an unparalleled quality; the lizard leather detail is amazing and the paper inside, though only 100gsm is very high quality that can be used with pencil or ink…” ____________ www.alexlibris-bookart.com

Being on a spiritual path does not prevent you from facing times of darkness. But it teaches you how to use the darkness as a tool to grow.
