THE SHIP<br />

The ship is the emblem of passing between the<br />

worlds, usually at death. The sun-wheel has also<br />

been drawn in a ship, and it may be that the wagon<br />

shows its daily faring across the sky while the ship<br />

shows its passage beneath the earth at night. The<br />

ship is an emblem of fertility as well, as is the<br />

wagon.<br />

The bare footprint is a fertility symbol associated<br />

with the Vanic cult from the earliest times (see<br />

Chapter 17, Njord).<br />

common to carve runes inside the outline of a<br />

wyrm.
