Wind in my sail, A Viking ship with a vegvisir on the sail. This is hand tooled piece of thin Brass (Repousse) 9" X 6" I treated it with acid and then tarnished it to make it look old. It is derived from my tattoo (the viking ship) and Bjork's tattoo (the viking compass) It symbolizes Bjork's influence on me and the motivation and power she has given me to start doing artwork again after I had almost lost the willpower to do so! Thanks Bjork!

I'm sorry that I'm unable to reply to all comments nowadays but I do appreciate them. Thank you for looking and for the kind comments!

Thank you for having such nice thoughts about me! It's very interesting that you should consider me a beacon, since I read somewhere that the rune corresponding to my zodiac sign, Aquarius is Kenaz, which symbolizes a beacon! :) I don't know if I am a beacon or if I bring light but I do hope that those who are ment to see or hear me will do it! :)

I do see you as a beacon. You really seem to have a wisdom beyond your age. I'm always looking towards the north, in the manner of speaking. I always think of you when I think of Norway. You are a bright light! keep shining as you are meant to! :)

That's interesting about Kenaz! I didn't know that. What rrunic symbol corresponds with the cancer sign? :sun:

I am not sure and I was googling but I just can't seem to find that site again! But I'll keep looking! :)
You are very nice! Thank you for all your lovely words! But I feel more attracted to Sweden, it's quite funny!

I found this, but this is not the site I saw the first time. It's so weird! And I see it's different!
Well, my Viking blood is quite interesting! As I might have told you already I am not Norwegian, but Romanian. The Romanians are of Roman or Dacian heritage. I am of Dacian heritage, I feel it in my blood and the Dacians have many things in common with the Celts and Viking, a lot of symbols and myths, and it's very easy to understand, because once upon a time, we were all descended from the same European tribe. I actually read some articles that suggest that some of the inhabitants of southern Sweden came from the Carpathian area,but these are all just theories. We can never really know what happened!Maybe I have no trace of Viking blood, but what matters most is what I feel in my heart and what gives me a feeling of awe and spirituality. And in that matter, I am more Viking than many others! :) And yeah, I guess that makes me wanna explore, always! I wanna know, I wanna push the frontiers! And I always had a fascination for the North! :)

Thank you for the link!

I didn't know about that. That's really very interesting history! Thanks for enlightening me! See, you are a beacon! :sun:

Oops! That was silly for me to assume that. But still, It sounds like you do have the Viking spirit. :)
