I typically get a load of 75 horns or more, which results in hours of separating the damaged ones that need “body” work, from the ones that are good-to-go. Have to remove packaging and inspect for beetle holes in the tip of the horn, which I have dubbed “dribblers” or “dirty leakers”. Dirty leakers get used for other projects, not for drinking. First step of the horn’s journey, than scrubbing, rinsing, sterilizing, and coating. I don‘t seal the horns, I’m not convinced that using “safe” levels of toxins in “food grade” epoxy is good for people. Like “safe levels“ of mercury in tuna fish, catch my drift? I trust the FDA only slightly more than the Chinese Communist Party, emails from Nigerian royalty, or Russian ammunition.

There’s a lot of “oohing” and “ahhhing” when I hold the horns up to the light and you can see the amazing unique colors, patterns and sizes. My favorites are the “marbled” colors, or the “frosted mug” colors, and the opaque, light shades, which are very rare. There’s always 3 or 4 that stand out from the rest…..

THE VEGVISIR FRAUD! The Viking “compass” has as much to do with Vikings as a vegan burrito. Sorry, folks. It became a Viking icon when a 1980’s Icelandic pop star made a public statement. Yikes. It is as fake as Grannie’s teeth…faker than horned helMets.

“In 1982, Björk, an Icelandic singer, had the Vegvisir symbol tattooed on her arm, describing it as an ancient Viking emblem that seafarers used to mark their foreheads with coal to navigate. As a result, the Vegvisir symbol became a prevalent tattoo design and a popular addition to the portfolios of tattoo artists. By that time, the symbol had already achieved mainstream popularity”
There is NO WAY anybody could scrawl this on your forehead WITH charcoal!! Try it….

Researchers have tied it to Christian Mysticism and sorcerey, originating from the Testament Of Solomon, later carried by English Monks to Iceland. It appears in the Huld Manuscript in the 1800s…regardless, the first appearance in Scandinavia is 400 to 500 years AFTER the last Viking was laid to rest.

The symbol below is from The Testament of Solomon, 1 A.D., look familar? Interesting to note, it is recorded in ancient texts, King Solomon commanded and enslaved 36 demons to build the first temple of Judaism, and later, banished this unpaid work force! Attached a few links, as usual, for review and contemplation, check my flow…..

Hand carved “Elder Sign” drinking horns. before you respond with indignity, the star-eye-flame symbol was not the original Elder Sign. it was created by August Derleth, a publisher and correspondent of HP Lovecraft….the original was a less mystical looking branch with 5 leaves….
