Malin Mellryd Etsy Store
There was reason for excitement this morning, when I discovered that Swedish creative Malin Mellryd had launched an Etsy store selling - for the moment - jewellery. Malin's pendents are made from natural materials such as stone and wood, and crafted by hand. One of the first things that drew my attention when I encountered… Continue reading Malin Mellryd Etsy Store
Sound Of The Day : Forndom
Heads up folks...The debut album Dauðra Dura from Swedish ambient project Forndom is now available to stream via Spotify. I have given it a listen and, like all his other releases, it's utterly exquisite.
Sound Of The Day : Forndom
I'm highly anticipating the release of Dauðra Dura, the debut album from Swedish project Forndom. As this is the case, I though the ideal song to start the New Year off with would be one that we have been allowed to sample. Resan is a beautiful, meditative track that I've been looping for a very… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Forndom
My Best Wyrd Buys & Gifts Of 2015
2015 was quite a light year when it came to actually buying anything that's really worth talking about. Many months went by when I didn't see much more than the four walls of my bedroom, and treating myself or getting something that I needed rarely even registered in my mind. Hell, I could hardly find… Continue reading My Best Wyrd Buys & Gifts Of 2015
The Witches & Wraiths Of Instagram : Thistlemilk
I've been following the otherworldly Thistlemilk for a fair while now. Hosted by a Swedish lady called Mimmi, it's a page devoted to the beautiful mystery that is her life in Northern Sweden. Each image she posts tells a thousand stories. I'm often over at her Tumblr page too.

I use photography as a metaphor for experiences of the soul by creating photographs that are simple in form, but rich in ideas and emotions. My imagery entails surreal and melancholic scenes inspired by the inner world… Continue reading Gabriel Isak
Pär Strömberg : Darkness Visible
Swedish artist Pär Strömberg creates art that embodies the dark, ancient power of the cold north. Influenced by long winters and sparse light, mysterious forests and iced peaks, Strömberg's work calls to all souls whose hearts ache for wild, northern lands. When I discovered Strömberg had a book of his art available, I ordered it… Continue reading Pär Strömberg : Darkness Visible
Sound Of The Day : Draugurinn
I am a long term follower of Swedish ambient project Draugurinn, and was extremely excited when I woke up this morning to find a teaser trailer for Disa Draugurrin's upcoming release Isavetur. Isavetur will be released by one of my favourite labels Nordvis this year, and I for one cannot fucking wait.
Interview : Nymla
The extraordinary, fantastical creations of multi-talented Swedish Craftswoman Caroline Eklund (Nymla) are inspired by legends and history, fantasy, nature and Scandinavian folklore. If I find myself under the influence of a depression, I spend a few moments browsing through her works. Her portfolio of trolls and elaborate masks, fantastical costumes and props helps to dislodge… Continue reading Interview : Nymla
