LET YOUR SAGA BEGIN
From Odin’s wisdom to the runes that shaped the Nine Realms, our books are more than inspiration. They are invocation.
Viking books that dive deeper than surface legend. This collection is steeped in Norse mythology, tattoo artistry, and raw northern symbolism.
At Northern Black, we don’t just wear the symbols of the Viking Age on our skin; we write it, draw it, and document it in books.
These books offer a deeper look into Viking history, Nordic artwork, and the ancient symbology that inspires modern design. Created by Isar Oakmund, the tattooist known for his intricate work rooted in Viking, Celtic, and Pagan traditions, this collection bridges the gap between mythology and modern ink. If you’re a tattoo artist, researcher, or Norse enthusiast, these volumes are tools of the trade and tomes of the tribe.
From Odin’s wisdom to the runes that shaped the Nine Realms, our books are more than inspiration. They are invocation.
Before the North had the fame of Vikings, great kings and Aesir gods, it had the dark magic and history of the runes. These were not just letters but tools of expression, magic, prophecy, and power. Our authentic rune sets, bindrunes, and rune readings bring this ancient tradition into your hands.
Northern Black was born from the vision of Isar Oakmund and built on years of dedication to creativity, tattoo artistry, and a deep reverence for Viking and Nordic culture. It is a place where historical artistry meets contemporary design and the mystique and strength of Norse mythology are woven into everyday life one design at a time.
