Horn

I've got a horn, quite old, quite small and not very pretty. It comes straight from the polish cow ;-) And I found it as a very good material to learn - how to prepare a horn. My horn is clean, desinfected and chafed with an abrasive paper.

I knew that a horn should be filled with wax inside, so I bought 3 candles made from beeswax.

I cut the candle along, take out the wick and tear the rest of wax for a small pieces.

I prepare a "hot wash" - so I put some empty pots to the big pot with a boiling water.

I put the waxscraps inside the smaller pots and wait until everything is liquefied.

Now I use a brush to "paint" my horn inside with the melted wax.

I used only one candle, but it was enough. I made a few layers of wax inside my horn. It looks like on the photo below:

Next time I'm going to decorate the horn, but now I'll check if wine taste better when it's drinked from that horn :>

(*I realized that my english isn't very well - sorry for all mistakes :-) but I hope it's still understandable :-P)

Bindrunes

I'm working on bindrunes, which may help to achieve some succes, defend some barriers and protect an ownership. I'm carving in the very stony oak... Uff... I've broken all my drills til now... But when it's done - it will be a very strong stuff! :-)

Cold Winter

When I feel cold - I think about FEHU. It's good to sign "feeeoooh" or "fehooo", when you freeze. And it helps to set the bonfire as well :-)

Besides... Fire puryfies. I imagine that a flame is a source, I'm holding my hands upon the fire and I "wash"them in that stream of heat. I feel the warm getting into me, filling me, and I fell much better now.

I wash out my anger and sadness, rinse my hands, flick the reminders of dander. It's clear now. It's gone away. My mind is free and clear, I move on.
