Description: CORGI, CELTIC DOG - Ornamental Corgi design by RAIDHO. Just a small present for all Corgilovers :) - According to one version of the origin - the ancestors of the Welsh Corgi Cardigan were brought by the Celts during the colonization of the British Isles in the late Bronze Age. - The name Corgi is derived from the Welsh words "cor" and "ci" (which is mutated to "gi"), meaning "dwarf" and "dog", which was not intended as an insult to the dog's size, rather as a purely descriptive term. - Of course, these are just dry encyclopedic facts. But the most important thing is that they are loyal, cheerful, playful and endlessly sweet friends, communication with whom helps to heal all mental wounds :)
Description: Ornamental Bull as a Symbol of Power, Vitality and Fertility and Two-Horned Moon with Triskelion as a Symbols of the Circle and Renewal of Life.

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: 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.
