This awesome packaging series, Folksaga, was designed by by Caleb Heisey.
Folksaga is a Swedish distillery of akvavit, a traditional scandinavian liquor flavored with ingredients such as caraway, anise, or ginger. The concept behind the project was to broaden akvavit’s appeal to an American market while maintaining its rich, nordic roots. Each bottle features a popular folk tale from Sweden. Ranging from murky mermaids to terrible trolls, these mythological characters are always up to no good — preying upon travelers lost in the wild. The project was art directed by Paul Kepple of Headcase Design.
…oh.
it’s only everything I’ve ever wanted. is all.
I want every bottle of this, Guild Wars 2, and a cabin in the forest. That’s all I require to be happy.
This is a good plan. I approve of this plan.

Orphic Hymn To The Moon
HEAR, Goddess queen, diffusing silver light,
Bull-horn’d and wand’ring thro’ the gloom of Night.
With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide
Night’s torch extending, thro’ the heav’ns you ride:
Female and Male with borrow’d rays you shine,
And now full-orb’d, now tending to decline.
Mother of ages, fruit-producing Moon,
Whose amber orb makes Night’s reflected noon:Lover of horses, splendid, queen of Night,
All-seeing pow’r bedeck’d with starry light.
Lover of vigilance, the foe of strife,
In peace rejoicing, and a prudent life:
Fair lamp of Night, its ornament and friend,
Who giv’st to Nature’s works their destin’d end.
Queen of the stars, all-wife Diana hail!
Deck’d with a graceful robe and shining veil;
Come, blessed Goddess, prudent, starry, bright,
Come moony-lamp with chaste and splendid light,
Shine on these sacred rites with prosp’rous rays,
And pleas’d accept thy suppliant’s mystic praise.
大鳥造 (Otori-zukuri)
Otori-zukuri is a type of Shinto architectural style named after the Otori Taisha in Osaka. Its floor is elevated and 2x2 ken in size, without a veranda or railings. The roof is covered with layers of cypress bark shingles and has a high ridge with an ornamental rather than functional role. It does not curve upwards at the eaves and the bargeboards are simple and straight.
This is Ziggy, the ferret. He has bone cancer eating away at his paw. This causes him a lot of pain. He is homeless, and is currently at the Hudson Valley Ferret Rescue.
Ziggy needs a foot amputation so he can live a happy healthy life. Hudson Valley Ferret Rescue has many sick babies that require medicine (adrenal disease and insulinoma meds). The vet funds are too low to afford surgery for Ziggy.
Please, if you can spare some money to donate for Ziggy’s surgery. This baby deserves a good life after being given up just because his bone cancer. Any money helps. $1, $5, $10, $20, whatever you can spare to help Ziggy.
Donations are through paypal which you can get to through the rescue’s website or directly through paypal here.
Please, even if you have no money to spare, reblog this. Spread the word for Ziggy.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to message me.
Please share and re-blog, there is no such such as a donation too small, even an $1 can be a great help.
It’s is stories like this that make it important that ferrets shelters exist, but they rely mostly on donations to help ferrets in need.If you can donate, please do. If you can’t donate, send this around and spread the word. The more people that know, the more donations for this little guy.

BUT I LOVE YOU! I miss you all the time. You are my special scream about random stuff friend. I can send you the most random texts and I always get a hilarious response. Don’t worry about the negative things that people say because they are not true. People only say negative things because they have sticks up their bums, and we all know that it would be very painful to have a stick up your bum. No, Celeste, you have worth and beauty simply because you are human. Acknowledge your true self because you are wonderful just being you. Don’t doubt it because you have a friend who lives 5 minutes from your house who wants to make you cupcakes and squeal and poke you with glee. I am lucky to have you as my friend :) And I am glad that Jenna introduced us because my life would be boring and non-Celeste flavoured if you weren’t around. LICKY FACE
If at least one person cares, then you’re woth something.
Celesite assists us to open up to heavenly light and heightened states of consciousness, some connect with the Angelic realm with it. It accelerates our growth and aids in creative expression, peace of mind, truth and clear speech. It is great for balancing our energies and promoting peace and the joy that flows from a centred being. It helps to get rid of toxins so we feel more vibrant. Its a good stone for out of body or Astral travel and then dream recall. It is good for pain relief too. Its ability to clear the mind is cleansing and revitalising, especially for those who are in stressful situations.
