Wessex Woodcraft

Hope everyone's having a good Saturday. Aiming to get Wuldor/Ullr here done today!

Have a good Thursday

Thinking I need to make the face a bit smaller. Give me a chance to even those eyes up a bit aswell. I've been pretty damn busy these last couple of weeks but we're back on track and its getting there

Went camping at the weekend for my nephew's 16th and made him a drinking horn. I also carved him a spoon but I forgot to take a photo... nevermind. I've got a batch of these so once I've cleaned them up they'll be going up for sale. Not woodwork, but not too different in terms of finishing

Another great piece by Alex from England. Inspired by the elements and imagery of the Oseberg ship. It contains elements from the burial cart as well as the ship itself. Find more of his amazing work here; https://www.instagram.com/_____alexandru?igsh=bTI3eTdxajZ4amlu

Roughing it out for Ullr. The yew is actually quite nice to carve. When I was hewing the log down the splits and giant splinters were a nightmare, but its been a pleasure with the chisels so far. Not sure how it'll be with fine details but I'll soon find out

DECLARATION OF TRADITION Months in the making, the Declaration of Tradition is now OPEN for all Germanic Pagans to sign today! Working with various Pagans, the DOT has been devised so as to represent the traditional values we are to adhere to as followers of Germanic Paganism.

If you are a Germanic Pagan and believe in the traditional values taught to us by our Gods and ancestors, become a signatory today. You can sign as an individual or as an organisation if you have a gathering. Special thank you to WodenWyrd and Þórr Siðr for their valuable assistance in the Declaration's creation, to Dan Capp / The Fyrgen for the website building, and to all individuals and organisations that have become signatories.

FAO: Heathens in SW England Every Midsummer the Hearth of Devon holds a blot to Thunor at which non-members are welcome, providing they are Heathen.

If you would like to attend, contact the admin of the HOD fb page and give some proof you are a practising Heathen. Non-believers are not permitted. https://www.facebook.com/HearthofDevon/

Arrived safely to the US, now taking pride of place on another heathen's harrow
