This is part 3 of Old Man finds a Wanderer. You can find part 1 here, and part 2 here.
Wolf with two ravens tattoo: One of the ravens is near the wolf’s head speaking to the wolf. The wolf is following the raven that is futher away.
Wolf attacking tattoo: The idea the is both of the wolves are the same wolf engaged in different acts. This wolf is actively attacking and engaging in combat. The wolf is fulfilling their role which is to destroy. The wolf with ravens is engaged in hunting. The wolf is receiving guidance from one raven and following the second raven. In the wild ravens will go and find a dead body. The ravens will then start cawing to call wolves. The wolves tear open the corps eat, the ravens eat what remains. Wolves will follow ravens because they know they will find something to eat when they do. The spiritual view is these ravens are guiding this wolf towards its lawful pray. They are guiding it to towards the fulfillment if its purpose, which is to find and eliminate its pray.
Horn Triskelion tattoo: This is the three horns that contain the mead of poetry. The three horns being Odrerir, Bodn, and Sodn. The horns had the mead of poetry, that Gunnlod was guarding. Odin ended up winning the mead, drinking the mead, and heading back to Asgard. It symbolizes that rich spiritual inspiration. This was needed to counter point the Troll Cross tattoo below.
Troll Cross tattoo: The Troll Cross was traditionally an iron cross that was twisted into a variation of the Odal rune. The prongs at the bottom twist inwards instead of outwards. This gives it a reminiscent of ovaries. The reason why Gothi got this tattoo. It was a representation of the ancestral family line feminine spiritual protection connected to the Vanir. The triskelion was originally a Celtic symbol that was adopted by the Norse. It has a lot of connections to Freya, and has a lot to do with harmony. Reasoning behind this was a deal with Freya. There are very specific vulnerabilities, which Gothi found out the hard way. There are things Gothi can not fight, that can ruin their day. For the things that Gothi can not fight but can effect them. Gothi looks to Freya for protection from these things.
Hugin and Munin tattoos: By placing Hugin and Munin on their body they are in a way attempting to emulate Odin. Gothi was access to these ravens, Gothi thinks and remembers, on a much smaller scale. Gothi would also like access to Odin’s ravens get little bits of the big picture. That maybe Gothi’s own thinking and remembering would not get them. The ravens are placed on Gothi’s back in a way that they are circling all of the other tattoos on their back.
Bind Rune: The bind rune consists of Othala, Algiz, and Sowilo. The reason for getting this tattoo. Gothi wanted a solid connection from their roots manifested up to Algiz. From there Sowilo the light coming down. A connection from the roots of Gothi’s being to top of their potential. The reason it looks the way it does. Is there is two of each rune for balance.
