Thors hammer pendant (mjolnir)
Thor's hammer pendant reconstruction Romersdal, Bornholm, Denmark.
In Norse mythology, Mjölnir is the hammer of Thor, a major Norse god associated with thunder. Mjölnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of leveling mountains. In his account of Norse mythology, Snorri Sturluson relates how the hammer was made by the dwarven brothers Sindri and Brokk, and how its characteristically short handle was due to a mishap during its manufacture.
Seeking knowledge - This is a dream of mine, I feel it symbolizes my thirst for knowledge. As in Odin sending out Huginn to look over the worlds. It’s an older piece but with new followers I thought I’d share it again. Have a great day ✨🖤
Fenrispunk is a word for a lot of things. Dialoguing and identifying with Fenrir, with werewolf imagery too, othered from society, reclaiming the 'monstrous'. Who gets to decide your worth, how to live your life, whether you're loveable? Who gets to write the laws and control the narrative? Who gets to decide your humanity?
It's nothing new that queer and other marginalized people turn to the outcasts and monsters in stories, side with the 'underdog' and the villain(ized) - familiar with the traits assigned to us by those who hate our existence.
Queer, transformative, animistic, being in touch with who you are without shame. It's about body autonomy, about breaking free from oppression. Eco & climate activistic against those who seek to chain, dominate and destroy the wild.
Also against moralizing nordic stories into good and evil, and countering the focus on the Aesir (as the good and worshippable heroes) a bit. :P
▪️The Skald▪️ I got asked to make a skald inspired by @einar_selvik - It‘s really amazing to see how the work of Einar influences a whole wave of music and living, it‘s more than music, it‘s reinventing a culture. As he said ‚sowing new seeds‘ - That‘s it 🔥 Thank you!
