New "Fenrir: The Monster Wolf of Norse Mythology" Design

Initial Sketch
COMPLETED DESIGN
"Fenrir: The Monster Wolf of Norse Mythology

The legend of Fenrir has many interesting  stories attached to it, but perhaps the most well known is how Fenrir came to bite off the hand of the Nordic god, Týr (from whom we get "Týrsday, or Tuesday as it is now known). Týr was brave enough to place his hand INSIDE the mouth of Fenrir while the other Nordic god's bound Fenrir with a magical ribbon made by the dwarves. Fenrir, who was able to break every other chain up until the magical dwarf ribbon was unable to free himself, and bit off Týr's hand in a rage! Týr is now most commonly depicted as missing a hand.

New Samhain (Halloween) Designs!!!

Shop Celtic Hammer Club Samhain (Halloween) Apparel NOW!
It's that time of year again! Time to break out the zip ups and crack open the pumpkin ales! It's almost time to celebrate SAMHAIN, or as many of you know it, Halloween!

Halloween is so much fun. Carving pumpkins, dressing up, scary movies, and, of course, lots of candy. What many don't know, is that the spectacle of Halloween and all its goblin goodness has its feet firmly planted in the traditions of the pre-Christian Celtic peoples of Ireland and Scotland!

That's right! Everything from carving pumpkins (although they used turnips back then) to the superstitious practices of trick-or-treating have their origins with the ancient Celts! For this reason, Halloween is near and dear to Celtic Hammer Club, since we love all things Celtic!

Our Samhain designs pay homage to the Celtic roots of Halloween while also celebrating the fun of being a little scared every October 31st. Creepy twisted trees, unsettling witches with their black magic, jack o' lanterns poised at window sills to ward off evil spirits are all part of the tradition represented on our one of a kind apparel.

If you love Halloween as much as we do, you're going to want to get a tee or a zip up to really stand out at your Halloween party or parade!
