In stanza 138 of the poem Håvamål, Odin describes how he once sacrificed himself to himself by hanging on a tree. The stanza reads:
I know that I hung on a windy tree
nine long nights,
wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin,
myself to myself,
on that tree of which no man knows
from where its roots run.
Odin describes how he had no food nor drink there, that he peered downward, and that
- "I took up the runes, screaming I took them, then I fell back from there."
I work closely with local Norwegian farmers to source all of my pelts including my rabbit pelts. im able to visit the farmers and see that they live good life and part of my craft insures that every part of the rabbits are honored. these animals are meat animals, meaning that the pelts are a bi product of feeding families. part of honoring our ancestors means not letting anything go to waste and finding uses for every part we can.
The pelts I work with are not dyed and will vary in color if not specified when ordering. They are soft to the touch and have a range of colorations from white and grey, lighter brown to deeper warmer tones , deep Black and variations combining them all.
