Sword Mugs
Description: In Norse mythology, Surtr - The fiery giant, lord of Muspelheim. During Ragnarok, Surtr will come from the south with flames, carrying a very bright sword. In the battle his sword will cut down the world tree Yggdrasil, and this will be the beginning of the death of the present world and the beginning of the birth of a new one.
Description: As with so many people, video games have been a major contributing medium of my cultural education since as far back as I can recall. One of my earliest memories is actually being four years old and pushing a stepstool up to a video game cabinet so I could play Q-Bert (for about 12 seconds). For this design, I wanted to highlight some of the most awesome 'weapons' from the history of video games including some of my personal favorites (but less obvious ones) like the Arkanoid paddle, the line piece from Tetris and the Katamari.
Description: St Michael the Archangel becomes it in the Old Testament and has been part of the Christian tradition since the early days. In Catholic scriptures and traditions, he acts as the protector of the church and opponent of Satan. In John's New Testament revelation, Michael appears in an eschatological context as the conqueror of Satan, whom he falls down to earth. Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies (You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him alone!). This Bible quote from the Gospels speaks Michael to Satan on the first scroll. Non serviam 'I will not serve' is a phrase that is attributed to satan in church history, which is why it is under the dragon.
