Anonymous artefacts and revealing runes: Scandinavian runic artefacts from a gender perspective (50-page PDF)

(more details)
"The aim of this paper is to examine a group of runic artefacts dated to the Viking Age (800-1050 AD) from a gender perspective. The analysed material consists of 59 runic artefacts from Scandinavia, which differ in regards to base material, context and content. In the analysis, the material is separated, described and classified into different manageable groups of texts and artefacts. Several case studies are presented in the paper, based on information gathered from the inscriptions as well as the archaeological material. The main issue is whether it is possible to attribute runic artefacts to a specific gender by means of a combination of archaeological and philological methods."

Call for Submissions:CFS: The Northern Bestiary
"We are compiling a devotional anthology for the animals, animal-shaped deities and shapeshifters of the Northern pantheon, from myth and saga, provisionally entitled “The Northern Bestiary”. The Northern cosmos is full of horses, birds, wolves, hounds, deer, dragons, cattle, swine; shapeshifting witches and warriors; gods and goddesses in animal guise and with totemic relationships."

Runasilks by Valentina Kuprina [on Deviantart.com]
"The rune stone inscriptions graphic design is the inspiration source of my creations. I use the old rune stones graphic fantasies on silk and leave vivid colours to reinforce the impression of them. Animals, birds and human figures move over the surfaces of the paintings, together with the runic writings. I fill my paintings with both patterns, colours and excitement."
