Kilt Pin

[MacKenzie]

I'm with you. I think whoever had this made was thinking symbolically. It's just hard to know what they had in mind.

It's not hard at all if you go to the link I posted above and read what the maker of the brooch says about it.

Ash tree in Norse Mythology
yggdrasil is the Norse name for the tree of life, The giant ancient Ash tree that supports the world. It is said that the god Odin hung himself from this tree to gain the knowledge of the runes. As a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, it is a beautiful symbol to remind you of the things you have learned, and are yet to learn.

So there's your "woo woo stuff". For me, the piece just struck my eye and I thought it would make a unique kilt pin. And as Chas said:

Hi Tech with a traditional look - I like it even more!

Whenever possible, I like to support artisans like Chris at Rabenwald and those that hang around here.
