The Gävle Völva's End Pendant
In the heart of the Viking Age, the Völva commanded respect – a wise woman, a seeress who walked between worlds, charting the course of fate with her staff. These staffs were potent symbols of her power and connection to the mysteries of seidr. This pendant is directly inspired by the distinctive terminal end of a specific Völva staff discovered in Gävle, Sweden, offering a tangible link to the spiritual practices and powerful women of the Norse past, captured in a singular, resonant form.
Crafted with Purpose: Hand-forged from iron, this pendant is a meticulous interpretation of the historical Gävle staff's end piece. The components – the ring for suspension, the linking elements, and the flattened, spade-like terminal – are individually shaped and joined using traditional blacksmithing techniques, replicating the construction and form of that specific part of the artifact. The iron bears the authentic texture and character imparted by the hammer and fire, creating a piece that feels as ancient and resonant as the historical find itself.
A Symbol for Your Story: The end of the Völva's staff, where earthly and spiritual power converged, can represent intuition, spiritual insight, and the strength to confront the weave of destiny from a grounded point. Wearing this pendant connects you to that ancient wisdom and the power of charting your own course from a place of personal authority. Let it be a symbol of your inner knowing, your journey through the seen and unseen aspects of life, and the Epic narrative you are actively creating, leaving your own indelible Mark.
Care Recommendations: To preserve the pendant’s finish, avoid direct exposure to water and moisture. It has a protective linseed oil layer, so if it does get damp, just wipe it off and let it dry.
Outdoor Use: For outdoor wear, consider reapplying a light coat of oil or wax occasionally to maintain its protection, especially in changing environments. Regular use helps enhance the pendant's character over time.
