VALKNUT REFLECTIONS

Elder Futhark Rune Art 2023

Gifts-of-Heimdall-Runes

●

Valknut Reflections shows a mini project created between February 2023 to May 2023 using Elder Futhark rune circles and Valknut designs.

●

The Valknut is a symbol consisting of three interlocked triangles that appear on a variety of objects from the archaeological record of the ancient Germanic peoples. The term valknut is a modern development; it is not known what term or terms were used to refer to the symbol historically. Scholars have proposed a variety of explanations for the symbol, sometimes associating it with the god Odin.

●

The appearance of the valknut in the archaeological record is highly open to interpretation. The term valknut is a modern Norwegian compound word meaning “knot of those fallen in battle,” referring partly to the theory that the symbol was associated with death (source: Bing AI query, April 2023.)

●

Valknut designs have been featured within my designs since 1987. The design below was on the front of a rune journal (at least until the adhesive died), contrasted by a contemporary version of the 1987 original created by apps, design software in 2023.

●

These pictures were also created using components created whilst making "Textures of Bifröst- Abstract Staves."

●

These pictures were shared as representations of creative journeys over time.

FUTHARK RING CIRCLES Rune Art 2020 - 2021 Gifts_Of_Heimdall_Runes ● ‘Futhark Ring Circles’ groups a loose collection of the following seven designs. All were a likely byproduct of being unhealthily over-fixated on the futhark rune ring, but discovery of some PNGs with lovely background textures via DeviantArt & Flickr proved rather too compelling. ● 'Futhark Ring Circles’ were broadly created September 2020 to March 2020 but took a while to reach this blog because sharing 'Bifröst Shining - Rune Reflections’ took priority. The images however provided an unexpected but convenient link to a new collection of rune art which follows this section. ● 1.

THE ECHO OF GJALLARHORN’S FINAL CALL Gifts_Of_Heimdall_Runes: Elder Futhark Rune Art 2020 ● [57]I see the earth rise a second time green once more. Waterfalls flow. and eagles fly overhead, hunting for fish among the mountain peaks. ● [58] The Aesir meet on lđavoll and regard the bones of the Midgard-serpent, and there they recall the great events of Ragnarok, and Odin’s old wisdom. ● [59] There they will find once more the wonderful golden game pieces in the grass, which they had once played with in the earliest days. ● [60] Fields will bear harvest without labor, all sickness will disappear, Balder will come back. Hoth and Balder will live in Odin’s hall, as well as other gods. Have you learned enough yet, Allfather? ● [61] Then Hœnir will speak forth his prophecies, and the two sons of Odin, the two brothers, will inhabit the heavens. Have you learned enough yet, Allfather? ● Völuspá (Poetic Edda) [Crawford translation: 2015; Hackett Publishing] ● #Runes #Rune #futhark #futharkart #runeart #giftsofheimdallrunes #giftsofheimdall #serifsoftware #futharkrunes #elderfuthark #elderfutharkrunes #futharkruneart #norserunes #norsepagan #runemagick #norsepaganism #norsemythology #norsegods #runicart #norsepaganart #norsespirituality #runemeditations #ragnarok #seedrune #hagall #dagaz #spirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QgNyJHpjv/?igshid=ret3v7f94nnz
