A more recent project! I started these runes a couple of weeks ago. They are serving almost as a meditative practice and I'm really enjoying the process of drawing them!

“A sixth I know, if harm one seeks
With a sapling's roots to send me;
The hero himself who wreaks his hate
Shall taste the ill ere I.”
~Hávamál 152, Bellows
“Þat kann ek it sétta:
ef mik særir þegn á vrótum hrás viðar,
ok þann hal er mik heifta kveðr,
þann eta mein heldr en mik.”
This is referenced in Grettir’s saga; Thurid curses Grettir by carving runes on the root of a fallen tree, reddening them with blood, and pushing it out to sea towards the island of Drangey. Grettir attempts to cut the tree for firewood, but his axe glances off and cuts deep into his leg.

A commission for the lovely Hrafna! She asked me to paint the logo for her business, Wheat and Sky. This was such a joy to work on and I am tremendously honored! If you haven't already, please go check out her beautiful work 🌸🪻🌿

An intriguing harness mount from Vendel, Sweden, with two Salin-I style wolves with bearded faces on their thighs. Similar motifs appear featuring a bird of prey with an often one-eyed face. It could depict Freki and Geri, and/or Gods in disguise; in the Hrafnagaldr Óðins, Odin disguises Iðunn as a wolf.

How many of you have heard this?
“The reason you reverted to Paganism is because you haven’t experienced REAL Christianity!”
“Okay, but you can’t really say that you were Christian because you didn’t experience Christianity as an adult. You’re just mad that your parents made you go to Bible Study.”
Oh really? So you’re saying that childhood religious upbringing isn’t valid? (Which I don’t believe at all, of course children should be brought up with their parent’s religious beliefs, but that’s EXACTLY what atheists argue, that it’s “child abuse” to baptize infants and choose their religion for them). I also loved Bible Study as a little kid, and had very positive experiences in the Presbyterian and Episcopalian churches I went to growing up. I loved going to church as a little girl and I loved my teachers and pastor at my first church. I only stopped liking church around the age or 16/17, so I left, and I was agnostic until age 26, when I reverted to ancestral beliefs.
“Okay, well you went to those churches, but that’s not REAL Christianity!!!!! You need to attend a Catholic/Eastern Orthodox/Baptist/Wesleyan/so on and so forth church because THAT’S the real church. You’ve probably never read the Bible.”
No, I’m not going back to church unless it’s to attend a wedding or funeral and I’ve read the entire Bible. Next?
“C.K. Chesterton said ‘Neo-Pagans have sometimes forgotten; when they set out to do everything that the old pagans did, that the final thing the old pagans did was to get christened’ lol get owned.”
First of all, I don’t listen to people that are fat, and second, I can pull out several hundreds of examples of the Church violently forcing conversion in Europe Do you have any other cute party tricks you’d like to share aside from quoting a blustery old dead man?
The Old Ways are the True Ways.
