Whispering Flame Rite

“Whispering Flame Rite” — Art Print

In the heart of a twilight forest, a völva—the Norse seeress and keeper of old magics—sits quietly in a stone circle, surrounded by flickering candlelight. Cloaked in deep crimson, her fiery hair glows like an ember against the dark woods, casting warmth into the shadowed glade. In her lap rests her black cat familiar, a guardian of the liminal and a companion in both silence and spellwork.

She holds ethereal purple stalks in one hand—symbols of mystical sight or ancient botanical magick—as if mid-incantation or on the verge of a vision. The stones surrounding her are worn with time, each bearing a soft, glowing candle, forming a sacred geometry of protection and intention.

The forest looms behind her, vast and watchful, painted in deep blue and green hues that suggest a realm between worlds—where the veil is thin, and the old ways still speak.

This print captures a moment of ritual stillness, where ancestral flame, intuition, and the wild converge in quiet power.
