This new shirt design combines the Anglo-Saxon WAINE ritual head dress design by @christian_sloan_hall with the Vendel era Nordic triple beast triskeles along the arms. The combination of these two powerful ancient Germanic symbols makes for a striking and unique garment.

My next video will be about the pan-Germanic bird-horned weapon dancer motif found mainly in Anglo-Saxon and Norse artwork. The motif is found in various archaeological contexts, all of which will be covered, and is usually agreed to depict a dancing ritual as part of the cult of Odin/Woden. These two pictures were created for the video by the artist @hungerstein_sketchbook his art also features on a t-shirt available in my Teespring store now (link in bio) #HornedMan #Odin #Woden #Weapondancer #VendelEra #AngloSaxon #GermanicArt #Vikings #Nordic #NorseMythology #VeryIndoEuropean #Warrior #Paganism https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cmQ5bATmZ/?igshid=3ye3zahzm3g0

This beautiful Vendel era sword scabbard is not on display! The museum who own it have it locked up in a cupboard somewhere. Surely there are museums in Sweden who would love to display it to the many who would appreciate the artistry? I find animal interlace style of this kind enchanting- the Vendel era style is more simple than Viking era “knotwork” and I think I actually prefer it! This was in one of the Valsgärde ship burials in Sweden. #Norseart #swordscabbard #vendelera #nordicart #swedishart #swedishhistory #sweden #vikingart #archaeology #norse #viking #vendel (at Gustavianum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0nfsQmAqSp/?igshid=n7y7l46h4n5s
