The person behind Earthborn Art, dirty old heathen, witchbitch par exellence :P 

This was taken at a beatiful river source, which pours out of a bottom of a canyon wall, surrounded by arching pines, lush oaks and mesmerizing willows. In the image I am drumming on a shamanic frame drum, (which  I’ve recieved from a Mongolian shaman, in Siberian and Mongolian cultures the shamanic drum is reffered to as the ‘’The Shamans Horse’’, their spirit helper which aids them in traveling through the Otherworld, beyond the Veil),

I’m greeting the elves and the giants….Howling at the Moon through the night with my dear friends :) 

Stormen stilnar, hugen fer              (The storm is stilled, the mind flies)

Hovslagtromma takten slær           (The drum of hoofs lay the beat)

Hjartet fylgjer, tveim blir ein            (The heart follows, two becomes one)

Rir meg fri med raske bein             (Sets me loose with speedy feet)

Ridande                                          (Riding)

Raido                                           ( Raido )
