Wyrms 🐉🐉 Two wyrms emerged from my sketchbook today — shaped in a style I rarely touch, carried by colors I usually keep at a distance. And yet… they felt right. Raw, winding, alive. #art #witchsky #heathensky #pagan #norse #digitaldrawing
Valkyrie A Valkyrie mask with crossed spears, a piece that’s been waiting in my sketch folder since last year. Finally finished it, giving it the strength and detail it deserved. #art #nordic #witchsky #heathensky #pagan
Renovation Two generations working side by side, hands steady, hearts aligned. In the soft chaos of renovation, a father passes down more than skill — he passes down belonging. #art #nordic #witchsky #pagan #heathensky
Vidar Godmask In the shadows of the forest he waits, patient as stone, carrying the power that does not boast. When the final battle comes, it is Vidar who rises, tearing the wolf apart and avenging his father Odin. #art #witchsky #heathensky #nordic
Sol 🌀☀️ On June 21st, Sol urges her golden horses across the sky, riding longer than on any other day. The longest day of the year has dawned — and the North glows beneath her tireless light. #art #witchsky #heathensky #pagan #nordic
The Three Norns Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld sit at the sacred roots of Yggdrasil, where time folds into itself. Urd draws the deep memory of all that has been, Verdandi breathes the living moment into form, and Skuld guards the veiled paths yet to come. #art #nordic #witchsky #pagan #heathensky
Runestone with Wyrms Visually contrasted and personally interpreted by me Period: Viking Age Inscription: ' kunhi... ... eft[i]R ' sun sn · hursefn(i) · [auk ·] oithafþ[a] uþ --b uil Translation: Gunnhildr ... in memory of her son Horsefni?, and Hvíthôfði. God help? #witchsky #heathensky #art
Runestone Anundshög Fascinated by the Aundshög runestone near the burial mound outside Västerås, I painted this artwork. The carving in the center of the stone may depict a woman and a man. What it is meant to symbolize is not entirely clear and remains hidden. #art #witchsky #heathensky #pagan
Ranes Stenar A Place that may be used to worship Odin. #heathensky #pagan #witchsky #odin #nordic
Sigurd fighting Fafnir 🌀 On the barren heath, Sigurd met the Lindworm Fafnir. Courage against ancient fury. As Fafnir fell, the ground trembled… and the curse of the dragon’s hoard awakened. #art #heathensky #pagan #witchsky
Petroglyphs carved into the rock during the Bronze Age, show long, stylized vessels that once shaped the Nordic world. Their lines are deep and deliberate, yet their exact meaning remains uncertain whether they marked rituals, journeys, or something now lost to time. #witchsky #heathensky #pagan
Ram Skull 💀 🌀 This ram skull carries three runes Othala, Algiz, and Dagaz. Eeach burned into the bone as a protective gesture. Othala calls the spirit of home, Algiz stands as a ward, and Dagaz marks the turning of darkness into day. #witchsky #nordic #pagan #heathensky #ritualart #art
The two Ravens 🐦⬛🐦⬛ Hugin and Munin, The Allfather's all seeing Ravens. Never tired of watching what happen on Midgard. #heathensky #pagan #witchsky #nordic #mythology #raven
Ingwaz 🌀 Two Wyrms in the Shape of the Ingwaz Rune. Because of its deep meaning its my favourite Rune of the Elder Futhark. #witchsky #heathensky #nordic #rune #ingwaz
The Shamaness 🌀 Inspired by the exhibition, I created my own drawing of the Shaman of Bad Dürrenberg. The beautiful artwork by Karol Schauer on slide two served as my reference and starting point. #witchsky #heathensky #shamaness #womanpower #völva #pagan
Dreamcatcher 🌀💀 Bonebound dreamcatcher crafted from pine bone, shaped with spirals, knots, and an Odal‑rune bead. A small guardian to keep unwanted dreams from my home. #witchsky #heathensky #pagan #nordic #dreamcatcher
Mjölnir 🌀 Forged by master dwarves deep beneath the earth, Mjölnir carries the raw force of creation itself. In Thor’s hands, it becomes the storm’s heartbeat — a symbol of protection, thunder, and unbreakable strength. #art #nordic #witchsky #pagan #heathensky
I’m Chris the artist behind Ritual Lines. I create every piece myself: from carved bone and burned wood to digital sigils. My work follows runes, guardian spirits, and the quiet rituals that bind the old world to the present. #witchsky #pagan #heathensky #trailer
Raven 🌀 I drew this raven covered in runes, inspired by the real one that visits my window every day for a snack. Watching ravens has become part of my routine, and their presence always brings a quiet kind of magic. #nordic #pagan #witchsky #heathensky #art
