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: The hardy Wolves Folk never feared diseases. There is only night, friends, enemies and prey. Everything is decided only by the courage of your heart, the speed of your paws and the sharpness of your teeth... We are not wolves, and should not become like them, but we can learn their vitality. Don't let intimidate you!
Description: In this work I tried to combine the main symbols of the Thor, God of Thunder, Protector of Midgard. Mjolnir, Trinity Knot and Lightning. Hammer Mjolnir - the oldest and most famous symbol of Thor, the god of thunder and lightning, who protects gods and people from giants and hostile forces. The image of Mjolnir and the hammer-shaped pendants have been used as protective amulets in Northern Europe since ancient times, and after the adoption of Christianity, people for a long time still wore a cross and an amulet - a copy of Mjolnir. Also, one of the Thor's symbols is Triquetra or Trinity Knot - as a symbol of continuity of life.
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: St. Georgios and the Wyrm. Inspired by the small joke poem by the medieval orthodox monks and beautiful ancient Orthodox Art of Lettering. The inscription starts at the top left. Verbatim translation: " Saint Georgios in fight, On a dashing sits steed, Holds in hand the spear, Pokes the Wyrm in the ass." My understanding of this medieval verse - is that sometimes flogging is worse than killing. Shame is worse than death. "Make the scary funny, and it stops being scary."
