RE: Needlework Monday: Bead Weaving the Song of Amergin
Wow, I got goose bumps! I so love mythology and especially the Nordic stories. And I think weaving poetry is absolutely magical (ok, maybe I read to many fantasy books :-D ) If you use it for clothes (in my fantasies) it will perhaps keep you safe .... or make you a sorceress (ok, sorry, really too much books on my side)
No such thing as too much books! 😁 And I legitimately have wards and charms all over my home. Catholics wear saint medals and scapulars, there are Tibetan prayer flags, mala beads (which are prayer/meditation beads but if you pop the string it means you worked off some karma), the string of tiny cloth chickens, a horseshoe on the wall ...charms are everywhere in the real world. ;)
You are right, books are the best (but I always think I should read more serious and scientific things and then end up with the next fantasy book) And I really like symbolism, may it be in form of charms or words or art in every form. I hope you post the whole coat, when you are finished!
