On a cold night, a man arrives at the doors of the hall and asks for a seat by the heat of the fireplace and the head of the house (following the values ​​of a good host that his father taught him) allows the stranger to sit at his table, giving him bread and beer. The newcomer is old, with gray hair and beard, he is tall as an ash tree, he carries a crude spear, an eye patch covers his left eye, but his right eye shines like the flames of a bonfire. When asked who he is and where he comes from, the old man replies "my name doesn't matter or the land where I was born, because I'm just a poor wanderer, what matters is only what I can talk about my travels. Because I've been all over Middle-earth, from the frozen north to the hot south, from the far east to the west beyond the sea, and on this long journey I walked among many peoples. I hunted reindeer with the Sámi in the icy deserts, I rode with the Bulgarians on the endless plains, I have lain with the dark women of the Arabs, I have seen the sorcerers of Ireland sing to the dead, I have seen the stone halls of the Romans." Everyone is stunned by the old wanderer's reports, deciding whether to believe him or not, but in the shadows at the back of the room, another white-haired old man knows who that strange traveler is and knows that his stories are true. He knows that one-eyed man is more than he says he is. All this happens inside the long house, but outside, two brother crows wait for their master to come out and go on another journey again... A new journey in search of knowledge, as always. Opinions ?

We homeschool our daughter and I'm looking for a couple educational norse posters to hang on our classroom wall. Open to all art types but I'd like it to have some information on it.

This artwork shows Fenrir breaking free of Gleipnir, while Hati and Sköll swallow the sun and moon!

Norse Mythology is so metal from its beginnings to its end I freaking love it! 🤘

I hope y'all enjoy this piece as much as I did creating it!

In preparing the figurine of my paternal line great-ancestor I think I came up with a figure that today's post-industrial lawyers can put on the desk as an alternative to the the Greek goddess Themis... Sculpture is supposed to represent the descendant of the Ingaevones tribe (in my case: R1a-Z289 > R1a-YP694 > ...), who left the Jutland Peninsula around 800 AD, so the figure has a medieval hood, holds dane axe and a boar-crested helmet is only crossed.

Figure in medieval costume with scales and danish axe, stepping over a boar-crested helmet...
