I dont talk much about my spiritual/religious side but it’s been a pillar of strength for a good while. I’m Ásatrú (or Heathen, Norse Pagan whatev you’d like to call it!), so naturally runes are very important to me, both as tools to understand ones life and path and as symbols of strength and connection to the gods.
The rune up top is Sowilo, it represents the sun and the god Baldur, it’s my guide, as the sun is always there above us guiding us in day and as a promise at night. On top of my heart is Ingwaz, and is the rune that represents home, family and the goddesses Frigga and Eir. My family are the ones I hold the closest to my heart and have been there since the beginning. On one of my hands is Ansuz, and it’s the rune of knowledge and of the god Odin, it represents the self always reinventing, always seeking to better one self. On the other is Ehwaz, the rune of the horse and it represents changes and journeys, that life always goes on. The Mjölnir pendant is obviously a symbol of the god Thor, and is a source of protection and strength. Under it is a pendant I bought in Iceland in the shape of a polar bear and made from mammoth ivory, it’s my connection to a place I hold very dear 💕
And of course, my bf’s hands cradling me, soothing and loving 💖💕💖
