Scandinavian Stag - Eikþyrnir Phone Case

This design depicts Eikþyrnir, the mythical stag who stands on top of Valhalla grazing on the branches of the tree of life, Yggdrasil. In Norse mythology, the mighty tree Yggdrasil connects the nine realms, with its branches reaching into the heavens and roots delving into the underworld. Perched among its boughs is the stag Eikþyrnir, whose name translates to "oak-thorny" or "oak-tough." This regal beast has antlers that shine brightly, illuminating the sky with rays of light. Rainwater from his antlers feeds the springs and rivers below. Eikþyrnir represents the enduring connection between the realms of gods and mortals through Yggdrasil. His noble presence highlights the role of powerful animals in Norse legend.
