Sköll and Hati

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

Can a soap dish be art? We think so. Here we have a few pieces from our ceramic artist designed to last years while extending the life of your soap and shampoo bars. We have these available on our website while they last- but act fast, they are truly one of a kind and handmade, so, they tend to sell out fast. We have here the kraken in smoke and rainforest. The scales range from (top left) in Mint, Green Tea, Matte Teal and Green Tea Wash.

You can order your soap dish here, just let us know which one you like!

The dance of the celestials.

Sol and Mani have no realm, have no home, always on the move, always travels, always alone.

But for a short moment, they get to see eachother again.

Lol ok since I had a few people message me about other woodburnings I've done. Here is one I'm most proud of. I definitely wanna do a more detailed woodburning like this in the future of the Lost Boys. But this is of the Norse Goddess Freya.

quick sketch for my next copper plate engraving.

Freyja. My muse and paragon. Mostly known for being the norse goddess of beauty and love but unfortunately rarely for the knowledge and power she posses that are almost without equal.⁠ She was the first who brought seiðr - a form of Norse magic and shamanism - to the gods. In this regard she is even more powerful than Óðinn, having been the one who taught him.⁠ ⁠ But she is also a war goddess. Half of the warriors who fall in battle go to her realm, Fólkvangr.⁠ ❖ Etsy Shop ❖ Instagram ❖ Facebook

BANDBRJOTR : HROÐVITNIR : VANAGANDR

In the Eddas, Fenrir is a monster, a violent beast that breaks free at Ragnarök and kills Odin. An enemy, clearly. But stories can be interpreted and re-invented in many ways, as we see for example in modern media, books, videogames, etc. In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, for example, Odin is haunted by the vision of a wolf being his downfall, and thus bans all wolves in Valhalla. When Loki brings his son Fenrir into the realm, he has to hide him from Odin and the others. Once discovered, Odin tries to kill the wolf without success, and later tricks him into being bound, thus setting in motion the very pieces that will lead to his downfall. As a queer person, I empathize not only with shapechanger and weirdo Loki, who is never fully accepted, but also with his offspring – monsters outcast from society, othered, vilified. The fear of what you don’t understand. However, as much as they tried to bind Fenrir, to keep him down and quiet, in the end he broke his chains. In my eyes, the story of Fenrir can be interpreted as one of oppression and freedom, and of unapologetically being who you are.
