NorsePlay.

The short art video Æ'siala ià Skjugge by Danish Heathen  runecrafter  Ræveðis . We love how creepy cryptic this is, with the videography feel of a 1990s industrial music video on VHS, married to Trollhunter /The Blair Witch Project/Marble Hornets horror film aesthetics. #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven. Since t hen he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the  Map of Midgard  project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.   If you have e mployment/ opportunities in  investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer,  do contact him .

One of NorsePlay's favourite landmark sculptures, the Sólfar , or Sun Voyager. [Photo from Day 2 of my Iceland: a travelogue experience.] Made by Jón Gunnar Árnason in 1990 for the birthday of Reykjavík. While there we watched foolhardy tourists fail to climb its overslick aluminum sides and nearly eat it. We see the probable influences of the Nordic Bronze Age petrogylph ship images and the staves of galdrastafur within Sólfar 's structure. #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.

Taken in a dark utility closet, this Vegvísir, Valknut, & Ægishjálmr trio of morale slap patches glows with runestave & symbolic power laser cut in a modern milspec cordura . We bought them for our dog's tactical harness so we can inspire awe wherever we walk. [Made by tacticalfreaky-usa of Barcelona, Spain on ebay.

My wife indulges in some artful NorsePlay with the henna.
