I give :icontribeofcelts: permission to use my art.

They have the rule to educate people about Celts and about what's Celtic in my works, so here is the explanation.

:shamrock: It's my own variation about Celtic knots, with raven and wolf. Those animals are here, because it's actually work for my sister, who loves them.
But raven is also a kind of holy bird for Celts. They were signs of death before battle. Especially if raven had blood on its feathers.
Also there were two goddess, turning into ravens.
Macha was flying above battlefields, waiting for blood and heads to eat.
Badbh was a bleeding raven with a rope on its neck.
And Celtic knot is just a Celtic knot. Celtic warriors were painting knots on their skin before battle, with blue color (they usually didn't even wear any trousers, because it allowed them to be faster). Also they decorated their houses, stuff and what else with knots. Later monks drew Celtic knots in books. :shamrock:
