Returning to the great mead hall of the gods with “glorious purpose” is @SamFlegalart of Fateful Signs, as his latest artistic translation of Old Norse poetics is now LIVE on Kickstarter and in this third edition, the focus is all on Loki and this most popular to many, but unknown to many more, manuscript, the Lokasenna.
“Fateful Signs presents “The Illustrated Lokasenna,” a collection of art by Sam Flegal. This 138-page book explores ancient Norse poetry by engaging the sub-conscious’s recognition of shape and form, in an effort to tap into a greater visual and spiritual understanding of the ancient Norse text.
With your support we created “The Illustrated Hávamál,” and “The Illustrated Völuspá.” The third book in this series – “The Illustrated Lokasenna” – will be another beautiful, high-quality art book worthy of a place of honor in your book horde!
You can find the Fateful Signs project at www.fatefulsigns.com or follow on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
