Anira’s Odyssey
Digital, 2024
Anira’s Odyssey is a six-card tarot series inspired by Norse mythology and the story of the goddess Freyja’s lost necklace, Brisingamen. In the legend, Brisingamen was a powerful artifact, and I reimagined its story through Anira — a traveler searching for her lost necklace. Each card captures a moment from her journey, filled with strange encounters, symbols of fate, and quiet transformation.
The series mixes Nordic symbols, myth, and surreal imagery to create a dreamlike narrative about destiny and self-discovery. Each card has its own mood and meaning, representing a different part of Anira’s emotional journey. Together, they tell a story about courage, change, and finding the magic within yourself.
