The moon is seen as a representation of emotion since its cycles are always changing and create an effect on the tides, or intangible qualities of life. This temporary tattoo design honors the mystical side of Viking heritage and is one of many weve created, inspired by their mythology and culture. With the Scandinavians this sign was considered magical and was applied to various items, including weapons, to win the victory. The sun is known as a metaphor for existence and its consistency, best depicted by the rising and setting of the sun every morning and night. The meaning of the symbol valknut with the Slavs carried the unity of nature and the fact that valiant warriors who have fallen in battle, be sure to receive their reward in a better world. The sun and moon tattoo can also be viewed as representing existence and emotions.
In magical and alchemical circles the joining of these two forces of the mind, represented by the sun and moon, is seen as the necessary process in manifesting one’s will into the material realm. Translated into English, the term Valknut comes from the Old Norse Yalr and knut together, which means slain warrior knot in Old Norse. These symbols when used together can also work to signify the separate arenas of the mind, with consciousness, or that which is “in the light” being portrayed by the sun, while sub consciousness, or that which is “in the dark” is portrayed by the moon. In mystical and spiritual teachings across the world, the sun and moon typically work to symbolize the juxtaposition of masculine and feminine energy. A small sun and moon tattoo can hold a great deal of spiritual significance.
