Jörmungandr help me shed my skin and feel confident in who I am.
Hail Jörmungandr 🐍

Oldest reference to Norse god Odin found in Danish treasure
Scandinavian scientists said Wednesday that they have identified the oldest-known inscription referencing the Norse god Odin on part of a gold disc unearthed in western Denmark in 2020.
Lisbeth Imer, a runologist with the National Museum in Copenhagen, said the inscription represented the first solid evidence of Odin being worshipped as early as the 5th century—at least 150 years earlier than the previous oldest known reference, which was on a brooch found in southern Germany and dated to the second half of the 6th century.
The disc discovered in Denmark was part of a trove containing about a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of gold, including large medallions the size of saucers and Roman coins made into jewelry. It was unearthed in the village of Vindelev, central Jutland, and dubbed the Vindelev Hoard. Read more.

Archaeological things that made me happy 2
The Wijnaldum Fibula, a bow brooch from Great Frisia, was found plowed to bits. Metal detectorists and archaeologists spend years searching the fields of Wijnaldum trying to complete the brooch and to the world’s (and my) joy, the brooch was reassembled to its most complete form in 1500 years.
The garnet inlay originates from India, and two Dirham coins were found, signifying long distance trade with the East.
Just for the fun of it, can you spot Wotan’s face in the garnet inlay?

Prayer to Loki
Change-bringer,
Flamehaired deity of mischief,
You who break chains,
and social conventions
Who burns what is old,
to grow what is new
Who brings a smile,
and bright ringing laughter
Who gives strength to the weird,
the outcasts and the queer
I love and honour you

Older pieces of Loki that I'm rather fond of.
Easter Egg time: The wolf in the top image is actually just Loki from Too Human.
