ARTIODRAWS

Santa’s reindeer having the ability to turn into humans or being human looking spirits who can turn into reindeer is one of those ideas I like to play around with every winter and has spent too much time thinking about. Like, they always fly in an upright position as if they were ice skating thought the air unless they have to go faster than usual at which point they lean forward because at that point they are basically falling and aren’t in as much control of their movements.

A collection of rune art by HEIDI RICHARDSON.

The collection was posted originally on Tumblr via her blog: @mystrangebones but combined by gifts-of-heimdall-runes or this blog entry.

With regret, neither Ehwaz nor Laguz were shared by Heidi to complete this collection.

If you have a friendly relationship with your gods, that's valid.

If you have a romantic relationship with your gods, that's valid.

If you have a casual relationship with your gods, that's valid.

These are a few keywords and themes for rune symbols along with their modern alphabet equivalents.
