Inspired by the artist The Raven from the North and the designs of the video game Total War: Thrones of Britannia, our very first emblem was created by our singer Mattjö Haussy at the beginning of 2020.

"Hrafngrímr" means "the one who wears a raven mask."

Unnamed Celtic Tribal Ally.
He holds a shield and that medicine shield is before the world, and made up of the world.
Side profile, in guardian battle stance.
In the background are waters he protects, seen as falls and mists that become streams, springs. In the shape-shifting that is going on, The top of his headdress is the bright red representative of the blood. In the blood is also the bright red of plant colors, as in the blood feeding the Earth.

At the very front of the warrior side profile, you might make out, looking diagonally downward, the Bull, who's tongue comes out waving and twisting, issuing forth raging life and intense magic. Heaving primordial air. Sky element. A woad spiral emanates of his forehead, which is like the top of the waterfalls here.

The red continues and you can see it is the mouth in the mask of the elements expressing and giving him an animal power. The antlers or horns point forward as a gesture, at the very top central in the space.
You might see dragon or serpentine faces and presence throughout, making a complex knotwork.

I'm sober, I like to mention.
I often get asked 'so, what were you on, and can I have some?'

With the amount of energies that come through, being not sober can actually be detrimental. That, and it's extremely hard to sit still and discipline. I couldn't tell you that unless I have tried in the past.
Being more kinetic, if I'm not sober, I'll wander to and fro.

I wanted to do something that marks the Spring transition and taps into the that aspect of my lineage of my personal tree.

Woad is intentionally everywhere interacting with the vibrant green.
It has elements of fertility mixed with battle. Medicine and healing mixed with power and strength.

Two new finds from the winter melt in Norway I believe a new hammer and a new god mask

Uploading first photo. My latest work.
There's so much to say about it and I don't know if there is a character limit.
I can start you off exploring.
In the upper right corner under the disc of light is a hare. If you've got good eyes you can see the eye is sort of red.
Reflective of the light above, somewhat softer. Spring tones.
I start with extremely dark disturbing layers and continually work with it like a metal.
All the elements are involved.
This one presents more earth and air.

The hare is important as, of course an ultimate springtime fertility fylgja. I work with many.
I stay surrounded by a party of guardians at all times.
The works could be thought of as hyperspatial knotwork and Interdimensional runes.
My work with the runes began when I was a teenager.
As you can see, the hare is in motion. Great quickness, leaping through the air.

It is harder to see, you may need to stare a while but almost subliminal and silhouette is a tiny wide eyed baby underneath the hare.
If I was going to call this one thing, it might be The Hardest Lesson.
For the serpent rising along the right side of the canvas. See the gridding pattern like DNA.

This is something we all have to face.
The serpent wants to take the hare.
Rises to the throat to lunge and feed.
Yet, now the wild-eyed infant hare, see that eye now as an insanely menacing grin on a face that is facing you, lunging at the serpent.
It might be better if I upload videos at some point and zoom into parts and highlight things.

The hare is one of the most important associates of the goddess, with feminine divine overall.
In the upper left of the canvas one might get a sense of wings being spread and flapping and a bird ready to descend on either the serpent or the hare. Curved back and descending upon, talons extending to snatch up.

To sum it up quickly, the lower left of the canvas is the tree trunk of the world tree. Where one can get a sense of the goddess shape, the feminine divinity, If you see the sky beside the tree as her back into her side and where the roots begin as her hips.

I travel the world tree and have protected it. The tree we call Yggdrasil.
Now my work is more intensive than ever after my findings and after the beginning of the war.

My part in the war has been dealing specifically with a corruption that has taken root in it. A great offense.
One I seek to purge, actively.

I do not speak of it to get others involved or recruit.
I've been a man of the world, but the vikings taking me in after the fallout has meant so much to me.
It was Odin who spoke highly of me at the Thing. It was the High One who said, 'he is one of us'. Since most here interact with All Father, look into it for yourself.
I have solid Germanic roots but my ancestry is also cosmic. I wouldn't be considered a 'pure blood'. I could have chosen from many paths.
I said I would rather burn in Hel as a viking. It wasn't then that it was decided.
The values are my own.

I am always in love with Brigid. That never changes.

This is skrying, it's also the cauldron or the Well of Wyrd. It also is Seiðr, only nonsexual. I know the history of that, and many other things.
I am by no means an expert, and wish I spent more time learning earlier on.
I tend to be like the berserker, more than the sage.

I post this here as I will intentionally be bringing all of my work here from now on. As much as I can. Please understand that I work multiple jobs.
These are for this community to become stronger in magics and meditations, to be inspired.

For a long time, I gave it freely to the wrong people. Those who are like that serpent, if in this case, we would be that hare.
In that regard, it also offers knowledge of the sometimes frightening and terrific masks shamans don. To protect. Not to use their magic to go around preying on the light of others. You will see endless of these faces and voices of ancestors revisited in my work.

Truly, this is amazing being here with you, and something that I honor.
This went way over over what I was going to write here.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to upload. Social medias are not really my thing lol

Bronze figure from Glasbacka in Halland, Sweden. The figure probably wears a mask with a hooked bird's beak. Late Bronze Age. S.Pollington in 'Woden - a historical companion' argues that this may be the earliest evidence for a one-eyed aviform character in Scandinavia. )Note the bulging eye on the right).

Wer seine Intuition trainiert, kann Lüge und Wahrheit sehr leicht von einander unterscheiden. Gerade in der heutigen Zeit, in der viel mit Manipulation gearbeitet wird, und sich das Böse oft hinter der Maske des Guten versteckt, ist es wichtig, mit den Augen des Geistes hinter die Dinge sehen zu lernen. Wissen ist Macht.

It's the time of the year when the veil between our world and the world of spirits is very thin. This day has many names in different cultures. Here, in Poland, we call it "Dziady" (archaic word for ancestors). In the slavic tradition we wear Karaboszki (masks seen in the photo) for protection against evil spirits and leave food and drinks for the travelling spirits of our ancestors. As old slavic faith is not dogmatic, traditions may vary but this is the core

Let us not forget about our ancestors
