The Möjbro Runestone


 The Möjbro Runestone is a stone bearing the image of a warrior on horseback with a Proto-Norse runic inscription. The drawing on the runestone is thought to be inspired by continental Germanic images of glorious warriors on horseback, that in turn were inspired by Roman images. Various interpretations of the inscription exist. It is read from right to left and is generally understood as the memorial stone of a fallen warrior named Frawaradaz. Some interpretations: -Frawarādaz the most noble is killed intentionally. -Frawarādaz was slain on his steed.

Sonnenrad/Black Sun

Image
  The sonnenrad , or Black Sun is a symbol indicating the infinite power and energy of our sun.  Through the history the symbol in its numerous ways of depictions found its place on the items of clothes, jewelry, utensils, weapons, and coins attributive to the representatives of Indo-European culture. It has been found scattered all across the world in all kinds of variations from the Celtic cross to the swastikas used in the far east and Norse paganism . From the ancient times associated with the natural phenomena of sun’s absence on the sky during nighttime and eclipse.

Pumpkins did not exist in Ireland in ancient times. Ancient Celtic cultures in Ireland carved turnips on All Hallow’s Eve, and placed an ember in them, to ward off evil spirits.   The Jack O’Lantern legend goes back hundreds of years in Irish history. The original legend (or story) is from ancient Celtic folklore in Ireland. Many of the stories, center around Stingy Jack. Here’s the most popular story: Stingy Jack was a miserable old drunk who took pleasure in playing tricks on just about everyone: family, friends, his mother and even the Devil himself.
