Thistil Mistil Kistil
by Sarah Schanze
Velkommen!
Thistil Mistil Kistil is a comic about vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Updates are on Thor’s Day.
Ooooh, wonder what’s in the box?? O: Can’t wait for more~ 😀
Hehe, thank you! 😀
Hmmmm, indeed. So this is the “kistel”. I assume it belonged to Coals mom, right? So what’s in the kistel? A pistol?
Oh, you.
Oh, oh, oh, I know, it’s Bob right? The title of the comic is totally Bob….right? 😛
No but it should be!
Can’t wait to see what’s in the box 🙂
Hahaha.
Thistil Mistil Kistil
Thistle Mistletoe Casket
I could take a guess as to where the mistletoe comes in
Yes it would be a very good guess and also accurate probably.
Caskett is what we first see coal in.
Mistletoe represents either peace or love.
And thistle well, there you go.
Organize them into the title and you get: thistle (this) mistletoe (later) and casket (much later) meaning the title starts here, and ends in death.
Mistletoe might represent peace and love to us today but it had a much more sinister meaning in Norse Mythology since it was the only plant that could harm the god Baldur. Loki found out about this a made a dart from a branch of mistletoe and gave it to Hodur, who was blind. Hodur threw it at his brother and killed him. So as you can see it was a tool of death instead of a branch of peace
So we have the kistil and I think the mistil refers to the whole Balder incident with Loki… so that only leaves thistil…
I LOVE the art of this comic. So pretty.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it. 😀
When I saw the green I was kinda hoping it would be a dress or something he was going to give to Hedda–something better than the patchy rags she has now. Buuut I guess not.
Chapter isn’t over yet! He wasn’t looking for that box, he just came upon it on accident. Someone does get some new clothes in this chapter! 😀
Someone…
It’s Loki isn’t it.
Loki gets new clothes.
No, Silly, ROLLO will get new clothes!
Looks like a reliquary to me.
*slow brow raise*
I love this page so much! 😀
Thank you! 😀
Heda’s of course; cross on it.
There is a cross! But it’s not Hedda’s. :3
I bet it’s his mom’s ashes!
I can tell you right now that it’s not. His mother wasn’t cremated, and Loki mentioned the burial chamber was left in the mound. :3
And here I thought the title was just invented so I couldn’t wrap my tongue around it. 😉
