FORKS — Tribal members moved a prehistoric petroglyph that tells of a Quileute legend from the muddy banks of the Calawah River to the A-Ka-Lat Community Center in LaPush on Wednesday.
The ancient battle between a Quileute cultural hero — the supernatural transformer K'wati — and a menacing Red Lizard was etched centuries ago into a half-ton rock that Gig Harbor fisherman Erik Wasankari discovered near Forks last December. It was revealed to the public only this week.
After a short ceremony on the banks of the river, the metamorphic boulder was moved to the tribal center, where a second ceremony was planned in the evening.
The artifact will remain with the tribe. Read more.
Everybody, I’m going to try to breathe here on the other end of the computer. Okay, so I just discovered there are petroglyphs right here in my city. (I have lived here for 18 years, I never knew until recently) So I hiked up to them today and what do I find?! WHAT DO I FIND?! WELL TAKE A LOOK. A UFO. I am barely breathing right now. I love this. I am so happy.

This petroglyph was found damaged on a burial ground a few hundred meters from the copy that’s now stands at Vallenstena church is Vallstenarum, Gotland. The stone is dated to the migration period and was originally raised at a tomb dating from the 400 or 500 AD. The spirals in the middle are associated with sun worship and the two figures with spears and shields at the bottom of the stone can be associated with pagan rituals and war. According to half a millennium younger Icelandic litterature , the two animals opposite each other could tell us about the stallion breeding sport, which was very popular during these times. But, as we know from many other petroglyhps and sources, these horse-looking animals was often linked to the sun and movement symbolism in the prehistoric religions. This particular one is very similar to another gotlandic stone found in Hadlingbo.
The Nazca lines are massive geoglyphs in the Nazca desert of Peru. The hundreds of designs were made by the Nazca people between 400 and 650 AD. The drawings include geometric designs and representations of plants and animals. The largest drawings are over 200 metres long.
Anyone remembers these cuties inspired by animal petroglyphs from the Nordic Bronze Age? Which one is your favourite? ✥ Duraþrór (Durathrór) the Elk / Stag, ✥ Skínfaxi the Sun Horse or ✥ Heiðrún (Heidrun) the Goat

One of my favourite pieces for this season is the Zhingwaak. A talisman inspired by the Pine tree, symbol of good luck, prosperity, health, longevity and wisdom.
Zhingwaak is part of my “Petroglyph” collection. Its name comes from the Algonquin / Ojibwe name for Pine,
