"There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic. "

Sedna and the runes


It was a long time ago...I had just come back from the Saame Country, far away in the North of Sweden and Norway...We lived extraordinary experiences over there, I had to write them down, not to forget...
We met Frigga, the Godess, and the altar dedicated to her...I made a small one myself and presented her with small presents, may be she would protect me that way...
I met women over there, marvelous women, so I chose a character who could symbolize them all...
now listen...for the ones that read the sketchbook project I made, ( read it here), you remember the end of the story, when "Nothing new" meets The shawoman...that's what happened that night...
"Nothing new" met her in the mountain...The little one was so desperate that night...She was so bored, depressed, no hope in future...She was a small lonely little one...She was surprised when she saw Sedna...She wouldn't think she was so old...they talked and talked that night, and "Nothing new" told Sedna her story...
"Don't worry sweetheart" Sedna said, "life is difficult for me as well, these times"...
Sedna called the wind and he sent the message to everybody in the surroundings...
The women came at night and gathered round the fire...
Sedna took the bag with the runes inside, and started...
For herself she picked up EOH
and for "Nothing new" PEORTH

Sedna knew her time had come, so she danced and danced that night ...
In the morning a  wild goose arrived, she sat on her back, between the feathers and they left for her final journey...
a new life was beginning...
At this moment small "Nothing new" could suddenly feel blood running down between her tights...
a new life was beginning...

and that was the beginning of another story, one story still asleep deep in my soul...if one day that story wakes up, don't worry, I'll tell you...
