#mayweed

slowlifeinprovence:

This is a flag for a knightly order in my sci-fi stories, the Knights of Baldr. The devotees of the slain bright god formed a knighthood, dedicated to practicing his values in defense of the weak, the commoner, and the innocent.

The shape in the middle is made of two bjarkan runes, traditional symbols of Baldr, and the flower on top is a mayweed blossom designed as a star. The runes represent honour and righteousness, the flower for hope, and the blue for peace.

Oskar, a character from my stories, has several relatives in his family who were knights in this order. In honour of their deeds, this flag was used within his home.
