Stand with Ukraine

Algiz-Rune Workshop

Thanks a lot to everyone who is supporting our Ukrainian Norse Pagan Arts workshop and continuing to buy the art pieces from our masters. We are sending today our crafts through Poland. As local international postal services hardly available. We are shipping by couriers to EU and it takes a little more time than it was before the war. Some of our artisans in Ukraine were forced to postpone their peacetime jobs. And exactly now they do everything that they can to resist Russia occupants. And today our beautiful country is united as never before, we are united and strong to protect our land. Glory to Ukraine! Slava Ukraine!

Norse art traditions were formed during Ice Age and Neolithic times and what we know as Viking Age Pagan art was for sure the highest level of Norse art development and also the result of interaction with other European and Asian cultures.

During the Viking age, Norse people were pretty practical and majority of symbols we can see on Historical Vikings jewellery are symbols of Devine Protection. Norse art characterized by extraordinary ornamentation of everyday objects. Even the minor objects are elaborately and artistically decorated with runes, zoomorphic motifs, etc.

High status Vikings weapon as kings swords, axes and spears were decorated by cutting groves into the iron axehead, then pounding a contrasting silver wire into the groves to create the design…

Many things changed since Christianity was adopted by Vikings but its other story:)
