Fylgja #4 | Fine Art Painting
Sorry, currently out of stock
Design
This hand painted image of a Fylgja is a part of a small series by Sean Parry of Sacred Knot Tattoo. In old Norse, a Fylgja is an ancestral family spirit of a sort, passed down as a guardian protector through the family line. It is not known how widespread this idea was in the ancient world, but considering a lot of people still believed in guardian angels, it must have some very, very old roots.
