Santa’s reindeer having the ability to turn into humans or being human looking spirits who can turn into reindeer is one of those ideas I like to play around with every winter and has spent too much time thinking about. Like, they always fly in an upright position as if they were ice skating thought the air unless they have to go faster than usual at which point they lean forward because at that point they are basically falling and aren’t in as much control of their movements.

Also, Pentatonix’s version of Carol of The Bells (YouTube link) is my go to soundtrack when thinking about this version of the reindeer because it has differently pitched voices and makes it very easy to imagine them singing to themselves Disney style while gliding though the air, being thrown about in a snowstorm and taking a tour though Santa’s workshop.

A collection of rune art by HEIDI RICHARDSON.

The collection was posted originally on Tumblr via her blog: @mystrangebones but combined by gifts-of-heimdall-runes or this blog entry.

With regret, neither Ehwaz nor Laguz were shared by Heidi to complete this collection.
