Walking Stick
I made this walking stick for my friend Eggert Jóhannsson who presented it to our mutual friend Adrian Gill.The stick is made from hickory, stainless steel and whale tooth. Engraved is one of A.A.Gill´s favorite poems from THE SAGA OF THE GREENLANDERS.The poem is a sacred prayer for travelers.I ask you, unblemished monk testerto be the ward of my travels,may the lord of the peak´s paneshade my path with this hawk´s perch.The former high priest of the old Pagan religion Jörmundur Ingi Hansentranslated the poem back into the runes that the poem was originally written in.Master Stone carver and a good friend of mine Stefán Hrafn Erlingson carvedthe script in to the whale tooth handle.The walking stick was then blessed by Jörmundur with the old rituals to keepAdrian safe on his travels.
