Galdr Design

About

The design I've based on these Galdr books, there are many of these - and sometimes they were well kept family secrets - as the Christian church worked like an authoriterian regime and was very insecure and prosecuted those who didn’t follow the ruleset. Many of these are lost due to the same reason, as the Christian church burned many of these books, the same way the Christians burned Sami drums, or the same way the Chrisitans destroyed tagelharpas on the Estonian island of Saaremaa because 'they made the people too happy' and so on, I could continue but this is not really about my rant on that topic :D Anyway, this design features on the white the pages of these books - that explain how these spells work in old Icelandic and on the black are the staves themselves. The staves are on the right side of the design and the text on the left as the heart is on the left, so we keep the knowledge close to our hearts and the secret symbols we wear on our right - no one knowing the meaning without us giving them the context. The context we carry in our hearts, as long as we learn and carry these stories with us they will survive, no matter how much evil tries to destroy it.
