ᚠᚢᚦᚬᚱᚴ ᚼᚿᛁᛅᛋ ᛏᛒᛉᛚᛣ

This rune stone originates from Funbo parish, where three other stones still stands. They derives from the same family who once back in the time erected them. This particular rune stone is quite rare due to the ornament in the middle. Many would try to relate this symbol to Christianity, but rather – this is actually one of the few Pagan rune stones that has been preserved.

Deeds will live forever 🔱
"Cattle die, kinsmen die. What never dies is the verdict of the dead man's deeds."
–Hávamál, stansa 76-78.
Meaning:
While wealth and life itself end, a person's reputation (their "fame" or "doom/verdict") lives on as their lasting legacy, shaped by the quality of their actions and honor in life.
'Fä dör, fränder dö, även själv skiljes du hädan, men ett vet jag, som aldrig dör, domen över död man.'

↟ Preserve your heritage. Native Scandinavian from Sweden with an ancient traditional instrument called Näverlur.
Näverlur – Lúðrblást/Norse Hornblést (Birch Horn), is an ancient traditional Scandinavian instrument made of wood of fir and birch. The instrument is dating back 1100 years ago and the oldest Näverlur that has been found in Sweden can be tracked back as far as 900s.
