Brand #108 · The Völva
ASLAUG
Daughter of Sigurd the Dragon Slayer and Brynhildr the Shield-Maiden.
Hidden in a harp. Revealed by prophecy. She saw everything before it happened.
The Story
She arrived dressed in a net, biting an apple, with only a dog.
Ragnar tested her: come to me neither dressed nor undressed, neither hungry nor full, neither alone nor in company. Aslaug arrived in a fishing net, biting an apple, with a dog at her side. She solved the riddle before he finished asking it.
She was the daughter of Sigurd Fafnesbane and Brynhildr. Hidden in a harp case as a child. Raised by strangers. She told Ragnar she would give him a son with a serpent in his eye — and Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye was born with the ouroboros mark. She warned Ragnar not to lie with her for three days or the child would be born a “monster.” He didn’t listen. Ivar the Boneless was born.
She saw everything. They never believed her. The prophecy didn’t need their belief.
The völva sees what others will not.

THE SNAKE EYE
Eyeliner — $38
Her son Sigurd was born with an ouroboros in his eye — a serpent eating its own tail. She predicted it. THE SNAKE EYE is a precision liquid eyeliner in black with violet micro-shimmer. The tip draws a line as thin as a prophecy. What you see in the mirror already happened.
