Young Loki and the First Flame - Norse mythology art print Digital download

Illustration

Young Loki and the First Flame - Norse mythology art print

The poems never give him young. They hand you the finished thing: the liar, the mother of monsters, the one chained under a serpent. So the boy here is invention. A green coat with gold clasps and no armour yet, a small flame balanced on one hand, and a grey wing in the other that he holds far too casually. He has already taken something that was not his, and it does not weigh on him at all. That is the whole trouble in one frame, before any of it happened to him. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling admits the boy is invention, then says why: the poems only hand you the finished liar. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Jormungandr: The World Serpent - Norse mythology art print Digital download

Illustration

Jormungandr: The World Serpent - Norse mythology art print

Everyone knows Thor fishing for the world serpent. The poems keep the part the films drop: the bait was an ox head, the line was strong enough to hold a mountain, and when the serpent came up Thor's own nerve nearly went. The gods got what they wanted in the end, but not there and not then. So the picture is the moment before it. One whole serpent reared out of a black sea in a great arch, spines down its back, a single gold eye on the water. Under the arch a longship, small enough to be swallowed by a wave. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the fishing trip the films drop: the ox-head bait, Thor's nerve going, and why the picture is the moment before. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Fenrir: The Wolf Bound by a Ribbon - Norse mythology art print Digital download

Illustration

Fenrir: The Wolf Bound by a Ribbon - Norse mythology art print

They called him a whelp and then a danger. Three fetters, and he broke the first two like wet thread. The third was thin as a ribbon and made of things that aren't there: the sound of a cat's footfall, a woman's beard, the roots of a mountain, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, the spittle of a bird. He said he'd wear it if one of them put a hand in his mouth as a pledge. None of them would. Tyr did, and lost the hand keeping it. The picture is the whole of him: the sword driven point-up between his jaws so they can never shut, the ribbon round his legs, one calm eye on you. It isn't rage. It's patience. What's in the download: one JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling names all six impossible things the ribbon is made of, and Tyr's hand is in the middle of it. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Ceridwen: The Cauldron of Inspiration Digital download

Illustration

Ceridwen: The Cauldron of Inspiration

She brewed a cauldron of inspiration for a year and a day, and it was never meant for the boy who got it. Ceridwen is the Welsh goddess of the cauldron of Awen, the brew that makes poets and seers, and her whole story is a chase through five shapes. She a greyhound, he a hare. She an otter, he a fish. She a hawk, he a bird. She a hen, he a grain of wheat. She ate the grain, and nine months later gave birth to him again, and that child was Taliesin, the greatest poet Wales ever had. Nobody in it is a villain. She lost her own son's gift to a boy who only touched what he was told to touch. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling goes through all five shapes of the chase and ends where the poem does: she eats the grain, and Taliesin is born. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Loki, Unbound: The Young Shape-Changer Digital download

Illustration

Loki, Unbound: The Young Shape-Changer

No chain, no venom, no rock. A young man in a falcon-feather cloak with a flame in one palm and a knotted net at his feet, and a face that has not decided yet who it is going to be. The feathers are the shape-changing. The net is the one he built himself. The flame is the thing he was always going to be blamed for. This is him before any of it happened, while the poems still had nothing to hold against him. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling has no chain and no venom in it: feathers, a net he knotted himself, and the flame he'd be blamed for later. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

The Three-Fold: Maiden, Mother, Crone Digital download

Illustration

The Three-Fold: Maiden, Mother, Crone

One light, three ages. The maiden with the new moon at her shoulder, the mother at the full, the crone at the waning. The same woman at three points of a life, standing in a ring of shadow and flame. Not three sisters and not a costume. The whole arc of a woman's life held in one picture, which is why the old craft put it on everything it meant to keep. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the same woman at three ages, new moon to waning, and why the old craft put her on everything it meant to keep. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Lugh: The Long-Armed, the Many-Skilled Digital download

Illustration

Lugh: The Long-Armed, the Many-Skilled

He arrives at the door of the hall and is asked what he alone can do. He answers with a list, and the keeper of the door runs out of reasons to refuse him. Lugh is the spear that never misses, the sun on a bright day, the one who kills the tyrant with a stone through the eye. His skill is the whole of his argument and it is enough. The long arm is the reach, and the reach is the point. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the door and the list: every skill named until the keeper runs out of reasons to refuse him. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

The Morrigan: Raven of the Battlefield Digital download

Illustration

The Morrigan: Raven of the Battlefield

She comes to a man before the battle and tells him how he will die. The Morrigan is the raven over the field, the red cloak, the spear, and the stream at twilight where the washing is done. She is not cruel. She simply does not look away from the part everyone else looks away from. Here she stands on the stone carved with the triple spiral, with her bird beside her, and neither of them blinks. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is a man being told how he dies, and the plain reason she is not cruel for saying it. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Cernunnos: The Antlered God Digital download

Illustration

Cernunnos: The Antlered God

He is the oldest face on this wall and he never got a story to go with it. Cernunnos survives in a handful of images: the antlers, the gold ring held open in one hand, the ram-horned serpent at his feet, the stag and the wolf and the bear keeping him company. His name comes from one carving and almost nothing else. The silence is the point. A god of the wild edge who does not explain himself, and has never once needed to. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling keeps the silence whole: no story survives him, only the antlers, the open ring, the animals. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Brigid: Goddess of the Forge and the Well Digital download

Illustration

Brigid: Goddess of the Forge and the Well

The fire she keeps is not a war fire. Brigid is the smith's flame, the healing well and the first rushes of spring, and she is one of the few the old Irish never stopped calling on. The goddess and the saint share the same day and the same name, which is how a fire survives a change of religion. Here she stands in the forge light with a rush cross bound in the smoke. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the fire that is not a war fire: forge, well, first rushes of spring, and one name surviving a change of religion. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Hel and Hela: Queen of the Cold Hall Digital download

Illustration

Hel and Hela: Queen of the Cold Hall

Half of her is a living woman holding a lantern. The other half has been dead a long time already. At her feet her hound Garmr is chained to the stone with blood on his muzzle, the dog who howls at the mouth of her cave until the end of the world. In the poems she is Hel, daughter of Loki, given one realm to rule and told to take everyone who dies of sickness or old age, and nobody argues with her about it. Marvel calls her Hela and gives her a crown of antlers. This is the poem's queen, split down the middle, with the hound that keeps her door. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling gives you the poem's queen, not the film's crown: half alive, half long dead, and Garmr chained at her door. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Alviss the Dwarf at Sunrise Digital download

Illustration

Alviss the Dwarf at Sunrise

He came to collect a bride and talked until the sun came up, and the sun is what took him. Half of him is stone already, one hand still open mid-sentence, morning landing gold across the flagstones behind him. That is Alvissmal: the dwarf names every thing in the world in every register the gods demand, and wins the argument and loses everything. The gods did not beat him. They kept him talking. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the whole of Alvissmal in one scene: he wins every answer and loses to the sunrise, half stone already. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Völund the Smith: the Morning After Digital download

Illustration

Völund the Smith: the Morning After

The morning after the swan-wives fly. Völund stands at the lake with the ring he made for the one who left, the forge still lit behind him, and their swan-shapes lying on the stone. The wings on the rock are invention, not the poem: in the text the women put the shapes on and go, and here they are laid back down so the leaving has a shape you can see. A smith, a ring, and a lake at first light. Everything in the frame is what she left behind. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling says plainly which part is invention: the swan-shapes on the stone are mine, the leaving is the poem's. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Off the Clock

Helmet off on the table. Both eyes still disagreeing, one red and one green. A cup of tea in his hand, and the west coast going sideways behind the glass. Not a god in armour and not a story. This is Loki after the telling is done, which is the only hour in which he is not performing anything. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling has no myth in it at all: the helmet on the table, two eyes disagreeing, tea, the west coast behind glass. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Surtr Coming Out of the Fire Digital download

Illustration

Surtr Coming Out of the Fire

The end of the Norse world, told straight. The fire giant walks out of the burning south with the sword that ends everything, and even the gods do not stop him. Surtr is not a villain with a reason. He is the fire that was always going to arrive, and the poem gives him no motive because he does not need one. Then the green comes back, which is the part people forget. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling gives the fire no motive, because the poem gives him none, and it stays for the green coming back. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Yggdrasil and the Norns

The great ash, and under its roots the three old women at the well, carving out what is coming for everyone alive. They are Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld: what has been, what is becoming, and what must come. They cut the wood. You do not get to argue with the cut. The tree holds the nine worlds and the women hold the tree, and neither of them is asking for an opinion. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling names the three at the well and what each one is: what has been, what is becoming, what must come. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16.

The Volva on Her Chair Digital download

Illustration

The Volva on Her Chair

She sits on a chair carved with knotwork, staff across her knees, two ravens at her back, rune-bones scattered on the pelt, a grey storm coast behind. The volva is the Viking-age seeress: the woman a chieftain went to before he risked his ships, the one who tells Odin what is coming and says it anyway. She is working seiðr, the Norse magic a seeress sings to find what is hidden. Households paid her in food and silver for one night of it. The chair is hers, and so is the storm. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling says what a volva actually was: the seeress a chieftain paid in food and silver before he risked his ships. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

The Green World Rising

The poem names Loki twice and then never looks for him again. So he gets out. He is standing on the shore of the world after the fire, watching the grass come back through the ash, and there is an eagle over the water that the poem never bothers to name. The eagle is his. The last pages of Voluspa are the only place in the whole poem where the future is left open, and he is standing in it. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the last pages of Voluspa, where the poem stops looking for him and never names the eagle. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.

Loki and Sigyn: Bound, and the One Who Stayed Digital download

Loki and Sigyn: Bound, and the One Who Stayed

Everyone remembers the punishment. Almost nobody remembers her. They came for him after Fenrir was already bound. They turned one of his sons into a wolf and he tore his brother open, and they bound him with his son's own guts. Skadi hung a serpent over his face so the venom would fall on it, and it has been falling since. Sigyn sits beside him with a bowl and catches it. When the bowl fills she gets up to empty it, and in that one moment it hits his face, and the ground shakes, and people say the earth is angry. It isn't angry. It's him. The picture is not about the punishment. It is about her. Nobody ever tells the bowl. Everybody tells the serpent. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling is the bowl, not the serpent: eleven sentences, and she is in every one of them. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16.

The Third Giver

Ask and Embla, shaped from ash and elm on the shore, before anything was put in them. Three gods stand over the empty forms, and the nearest is the one doing the giving. The poems name Odin and Hoenir and leave the third as Lodurr and almost nothing else, so the giver is the one with the least said about him. He is held as Loki here, and if it is him, what he poured in was not the breath and not the soul. It was the wanting, and the flush that comes with it. One JPG that prints clean at 20x16 in. The telling covers Voluspa 17 and 18, names the third giver the poem barely names, and says what he poured in. Print it yourself, or take the file to any print shop and ask for 20x16. It is the same picture either way.
