Created one at a time from start to finish this ancient Talisman was crafted with great care and intent for its new owner.

This Talisman represents Loki. Forever known to bring chaos into the Nine Worlds, the Trickster. Not a God himself but born of Giants in Jotunheim he befriended, and betrayed, the Gods of Asgard shops. His own actions even bringing about Ragnarok itself. Father of Fenrir, the giant Wolf, Hel, the Goddess of the Underworld and Jormungandr the World Serpent. The front of the Talisman features a Bindrune which includes the runes of Loki's name itself. Laguz, Othala, Kenaz and Isa. The rear of the Talisman features Jormungandr the World Serpent with its tail in its mouth.

Loki is often disdained, looked upon with less than favorable opinion. Loki represents the darker, more destructive forces of nature around us. Within that destruction new beginnings are always born. A fire takes a forest, new plants spring to life eventually. As Loki brings about Ragnarok, the end of the Worlds, a renewal begins once the flames cease to burn. He represents that endless cycle of life, death, life. This Talisman is meant to bring its wearer the ability to get through chaotic, destructive times with strength. Only to come out the other side stronger and renewed in some way.

As mentioned above this Talisman was created individually. An original is hand carved from wax, one mold is then created from the model and casting is done one item at a time. This is an old way of doing things and I feel it gives each piece more power and more uniqueness for the wearer. This Talisman is heavy and will last for generations, maybe to become an artifact itself one day.

Thanks for looking!
