Raven Skull Merch
Description: The raven have been an important symbol in pagan mythology in many parts of the world. In Norse mythology the two ravens, Hugin and Munin, where believed to part of Odin, the God of knowledge, war and death. Hugin and Munin would fly around the world and gather information and knowledge and they would also help the Valkyries to decide which fallen warriors that would be chosen to enter Valhalla. This was believed to be the reason why soldiers would see gatherings of ravens above battlefields.
Description: Most people are afraid of death - this is normal. Since ancient times, folks have used amulets with the death-attributes to cheat death. Often, bird skulls were used for this purpose - Death will come nearer, but when he sees the skull, will think that he has been here before, job is done, will turn around and leave. Death drives death out! Rune Algiz, similar to a bird's paw, was used as a protection too.
Description: This detailed fine-line ink drawing features a striking bird skull centered within an intricate, ancient Nordic sigil. Reminiscent of a shamanic stave or a protective pagan compass, the artwork beautifully merges dark folklore with natural macabre elements. The delicate line art and stippling highlight the smooth, weathered contours of the bone, accented by an etched cross rune on the brow and a deep, darkened beak.
