nice pics john

good historic lesson, allthough i think this was interperted with roman eyes:

The Franks Casket, an Anglo-Saxon hoard-box (early seventh century) shows Romulus and Remus in an unusual setting, two wolves instead of one, a grove instead of one tree or a cave, four kneeling warriors instead of one or two gesticulating shepherds. As the runic inscription ("far from home") indicates, the twins are cited here as the Dioscuri, helpers at voyages like Castor and Polydeuces. Their descent from the Roman god of war predestines them as helpers on the way to war. So the carver transfers them into the Germanic holy grove and has Woden’s second wolf join them. Thus the picture serves—along with five other ones—to influence "wyrd", the fortune and fate of a warrior king.

the nordic version, is a blot at odins holy grove. exsamplifide by his two wolfes gerer and freke.

i like the name though, it will be a mouthfull to scream in the fields but then you can allways adopt a whissel.

looking forward to hear more.
