The Morrigan

Yesterday morning three of my crows friends were lined on my porch. I think of them as The Three Morrigna from the Norse mythology. Even if they might have seen as signs of doom, I'm very fond of them and I'm sure they're here to lead me in a path of wisdom and rebirth. 

Of course I love Omnia song Morrigan ...

... Over hills and over meadows
see the crow fly, feel her shadow
Over woods and over mountains
searching for a war
Her wings embrace each strife and battle
where swords they clash and chariots rattle
seeking out the one whose time
has come to take the blade
Morrigan ancient crone of war
I see your face, I'll cry no more
Morrigan ancient crone of war
come lift me on your wings
Morrigan ancient crone of war
I hear your voice, I'll breathe no more
Morrigan ancient crone of war
come set my spirit free....

Aegishjalmur or Helm of Awe

One more try at carving. I'm especially happy of the outcome I got this time.
This is Aegishjalmur , or the Helm of Awe, an ancient Norse symbol, whose general meaning is protection and irresistibility in battle. As many mysterious things there's not a real reason why ones feel drawn to something and I really not know why I feel so bound to this symbol at this moment, but as I always do, I just let this feeling flow and this has been the result.
