Norse Amulets
Inscribed Heritage
Before parchment, the Norse carved what mattered into stone, wood, metal. These marks recorded oaths, navigation points, names requiring preservation.


Traditional Talismans
Symbols from Distant Traditions
The Hamsa hand emerged in the Middle East—five fingers extended, believed to deflect malevolent attention. The Sanskrit Om resembles a curved mark; Tantric tradition holds it as the first vibration of existence.


Material as Talisman
Inherent Properties
Certain materials function as talismans before any metalworking begins.


The Language of Form
Shape as Symbol
Form communicated before written language existed. A tiger's fang marked a hunter's achievement—wearing it signalled capacity for confronting danger. An arrowhead always points forward; its shape inherently suggests direction and purpose.
