Incense stick holder "Raven on Skull" (or paperweight), artificial stone

The raven - Wotan's bird of death, companion of souls and journey to the "otherworld" - made / cast from polyresin (artificial stone), and lovingly hand-painted.

  • Ravens were often considered harbingers of doom, partly because of their appetite for carrion. They often gathered in large numbers at battlefields to feed on the corpses of the fallen.
  • Ravens are said to be close to death, and at execution sites, corpses were left hanging until they were pecked down to the bones by ravens.
  • The raven, as a bird of death, is associated with the war (and raven) god Wotan.
The magpie also belongs to the group of crows. In Norse mythology, it is a messenger of the gods, but also the companion bird of the death goddess Hel.
The Celtic war/death goddess Morrigan carried the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla in the form of a raven.
The creation of the earth is described in the epic poem “Vafþrúðnismál”.
Ginnungagap is described as the empty space at the beginning of the world's history. In primordial times, before creation, Ginnungagap lay between the fiery Muspellheim to the south and the icy Niflheim to the north.
Before the world was created, there was nothing but Ginnungagap, in which the first being named "Ymir" lived. The world was formed from Ymir's individual body parts. From his flesh arose the earth, from his skull the sky, from his bones the mountains, and from his blood the sea. Therefore, we do not consider the skull/death's head to be something gruesome, for it, like everything else, is a part of creation.
The raven is considered a link to gliding over into the "world of the dead" - its intelligence, magical powers and clairvoyant abilities make it the bird of death, soul and companion to the "otherworld" par excellence.
Odin, the god of the dead, is also known under the name Hrafnáss (raven god).
In popular belief, the raven became a sinister and ill-fated bird of death. This negative reputation arose particularly due to Christian influences during the Middle Ages.

The incense stick holder can also be "repurposed" as a paperweight or pen holder.
