Merseburg Charms Pyrographed Wooden Plate!!

Back to woodburning again after a very long time! So we must be back to pyrography across a big gate. Nothing to say about the well-known charms but just to mention that these charms are one of the most important survivals of the pre-christian pagan Germanic beliefs. As it use to be, own freestyle design, paying respect to the original Old High German text.

Fraujo entering Halja

I wanted to make a more "realistic"  drawing some time ago, something personal...so I did the East Germanic version of Freyja, called Ingwon/Fraujo in Gothic, who regarding some scholars she had a triple attribute: Goddes of Earth, Goddes of Fertility and Goddes of Death. Therefore the pic is entitled "Fraujo enering Halja", the realm of the dead... The drawing is hand penciled and inked, and then digitally coloured. I shall probably sell printed copies on the shop soon.
