This commanding wall hanger features a real elk skull mounted on aged wood, engraved with burnt Elder Futhark runes forming the circular body of Jörmungandr, the World Serpent. Each rune has been carefully inscribed by hand, wrapping around in a continuous loop, symbolizing eternity, fate, and the unbroken cycle of life and death.
In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr is the great serpent who encircles Midgard, embodying transformation, balance, and the inevitability of destiny. This piece captures that energy through both the circular rune design and the natural strength of the elk, an animal sacred for its endurance and spiritual presence.

Ritual spaces dedicated to Odin, Loki, or the primal forces of creation and destruction

Each skull is ethically sourced and burned by hand, ensuring the energy and craftsmanship remain true to tradition. The natural wood base enhances the grounding energy of the piece, while the engraved circle represents the serpent’s endless grasp upon the world.
