This badger skull altar is built around the story of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, and the dragon that gnaws at its roots. The skull is mounted to a dark wooden base, framed by an engraved serpent that mirrors the ancient being Nidhoggr, whose endless movement speaks to darkness, decay, renewal, and the cycles of death that feed life. The engraving flows downward into branching roots, anchoring the skull to the great tree itself, creating a sacred place where worlds can meet and offerings may pass between realms.
The lower platform offers room for candles, offerings, runes, or written petitions, allowing the altar to become an active point of ritual work. The brass corners add a quiet weight and age to the piece, contrasting against the pale bone and the shadowed wood. Each altar holds its own shape, spirit, and character, shaped by the natural form of the skull and the carved lines of the serpent and its roots.
