Idunn

IDUNN From the 'Gods of England' series by Thorskegga Thorn

Thorskegga has started a series of paintings depicting the gods worshipped by the Anglo-Saxon and Norse settlers in England.

Idunn is the goddess of immortality. She looks after the sacred apples that protect the gods and the other folk in Asgard from old age.

Here she is shown amid the trappings of an Anglo-Saxon funeral offering an apple to the spirit of a dead man who appaers in the clouds behind. Her symbols apples and nuts appear in the foreground.
