We have little or no sources how Slavic priests and guślarze (kind of "shamans") dresses but as a musicians we can let our imagination off the leash and try to have fun with symbolism and looking cool 😎 In Slavic beliefs the god of magic, oaths and underworld was Weles. He was directly connected with cattles so his main attribute was cattle horns on his head. There are few sources that says when people took oaths they sat on fur, the best option was cows fur. The fur was meant to connect the person with the underworld and Weles himself. So here we have our Guslar shaman with cattle like horns and a mask made of calf's skin

scandinavian folklore → nøkken/näcken The nøkken/näcken, known as the neck or nix(ie) in English, is a shapeshifting water spirit - often brought up in Germanic myths and legends. The water spirit usually appears in human form, and can change form depending on his victim. In Scandinavian folklores, the nøkken is usually described as a beautiful man who plays enchanted songs on his violin to lure women and children into the water - and drown them. He is often said to live in rivers, lakes or ponds, preferably near a waterfall - and there’s usually water lilies (also known as näckrosor in Swedish, which translates into “nix roses”) growing in these waters. Although, there are some stories where he is harmless - and attract men, as well as women, with his enchanting songs; and is even said to teach a musician to play so well “that the trees dance and waterfalls stop at his music” - if approached properly. It also said that nøkken will teach you how to play such enchanting music if you bring him something. The sacrifice changes from region to region but a few examples are: a black cat, three drops of blood from your ring finger or some moonshine. There are many ways to protect yourself from being carried away and drowned by nøkken and these include: spitting and tossing a steel needle (or cross) into the water or by binding him to a nøkkstein (nøkken rock) and then let it drop it into the water from a vertical angle from as high as you can possibly can - or, when already grabbed by it, shouting “Nøkken! Nøkken! Needle in water. Virgin Mary tossed steel into the water! You are sinking I am floating!” #folklore

Here's a bit about me and my interests outside of music, while still staying on topic. Here's my first battle-ready Viking shield, which I recently created. I also made a few smaller ones for decoration. Maybe also a different insight into what else musicians do. I also make the axe handles myself. It's definitely fun, looks good in the studio, and provides some good inspiration every now and then.

Been thinking about this for some time ! i know the page is to support musicians , but can also see and also myself use it as a new kind of FB ! So i will take my chance and ask you to, tommorow take a bag in you hand , "waste" ½hour - 1 hour of your life , to pick up "waste" in nature or do somethink non selfish for nature ! take a picture and put it in this post , its not a competion , its you me us , doing somethink bigger ! bid you all a good evening

Stuff I've made last year. Sharing ideas. One went to Eolya (singer and musician, it's the music of the video), one went to a Briton friend (french britany), the third was for me. It's just a pouch with a rubber band on the back (to put it on a journal for example) with a hand painted fabric sewed on it.
