Norse Sleep Protection Runes, "Svefnthorn", Northern European Viking "Dreamcatcher"
from $30.00
These runes have been found carved into bedposts in ancient Scandinavian homes. They are thought to represent protection for the sleeper. The runes on this piece are drawn in red ochre on a piece of Reindeer rawhide and mounted in a willow hoop. Red ochre is a traditional dye used in ceremonies back to Neanderthal times, and represents the sacred blood of birth and death. Reindeer is sacred to the Northern people and represents abundance, security & family. The willow hoop was hand cut and bent by me at the Sandy River in Portland, Oregon. Each one is custom made, so small variations will occur.
