Norse Symbols

<p>This book explains Viking symbols where they are effective: in use. Instead of retelling myths it shows how Mjölnir Gungnir runes ships Yggdrasil Valknut and the animal style (Borre-Urnes) function as consecration framework threshold and memory-on the body on stone on the house and on the ship. The result is a comprehensible reliable guide that separates historical forms from modern projections.</p><p> </p><p>What you get:</p><p>• Clear explanations of Mjölnir Gungnir runes ships and picture stones Yggdrasil Walknut animal emblems (raven wolf bear) and ornamental styles from Borre to Urnes.</p><p>• Context instead of buzzwords: archaeology textual sources and stylistic history intertwine; each interpretation is linked to place medium and date.</p><p>• Orientation in sensitive areas: difference between Viking-era runic practice and early modern Icelandic sigils; responsible use of historical symbols today.</p><p>• For beginners and advanced learners: narrative well-structured scientifically sound-without esoteric promises.</p><p>• Plus: glossary with 30 key terms.</p><p> </p><p>Who is this book for? For anyone who does not want to see Norse symbols as arbitrary logos but as a living easily readable cultural technique - from runestones to churches with Urnes portals from boat graves to belt buckles.
