And here it is!
If you all remember this post from last week—you’ll know that my husband and I have been working on a project for the past couple of months. We bought a hutch from Facebook Marketplace so we could have storage for all of the china, crystal, and milk glass I inherited from my paternal grandmother. The cabinet was not particularly old (made in the 50s or so), and the wood not particularly beautiful or rare, so we decided to paint it a dark color to match the furniture we have in our apartment and paint it with meaningful designs.
My husband made twining vines that would invoke both Celtic and Germanic folkish art, and we choose flowers to represent the countries of our ancestors origins:
Bluebells for Sweden 🇸🇪
Edelweiss for Germany 🇩🇪
Roses for England 🏴
Thistles for Scotland 🏴
Shamrocks for Ireland 🇮🇪
In addition, we decided to do something we had discussed for months, which was to sit down and make a family bindrune, which is painted on either side.
The white paint needs a few touch ups, but that’s unfortunately the nature of working with oil paints, they take forever and a day to dry. I’m so excited to finally be able to have a place to store all of my grandmother’s beautiful dishes and thrilled that Mr. Huwila is an adept painter (because I sure as hell ain’t 😩🤣)

My rune series is finally complete! I can't post them all together (thanks telegram) but here are a few favorites! Not sure what I'm going to make with them but I'm thinking maybe stickers would be fun!

Very amusing when certain Christians say paganism isn’t a real tradition because it hasn’t got an unbroken line.
Christian priests don’t descend from the Kohanim. Christianity doesn’t have an unbroken connection to Judaism because it represents a break from it. Therefore Christianity, by this definition, isn’t a proper tradition.
Paul says that the new tradition is based on faith in Jesus and not bloodline and that there is “no longer Jew or Greek”. A new tradition is by definition not a tradition

Every one of us comes from an unbroken ancestral line, all of which were once Pagan. If we believe in reincarnation as our ancestors did, then we believe that we all share souls with those ancestors.

The Gundestrup Cauldron was found in Denmark, the Anglo Saxons were buried with hanging bowls with Celtic decoration, and Irish hanging bowls have been found in Viking burials in Norway.
The Germanic peoples have always had a particular liking for Celtic ritual vessels.
