The Wild Hunt News<p>The rise, rapid development, and adoption of AI-generated art poses an existential question which goes beyond base issues of consumption, mass media, and copyright law. AI art challenges what it means to be human, what we can aspire to be, and the nature of existence beyond the realm of material reality.</p><p><a href="https://wildhunt.org/2025/04/ai-art-and-the-death-of-the-spirit.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wildhunt.org/2025/04/ai-art-an</span><span class="invisible">d-the-death-of-the-spirit.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aiartwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aiartwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chatgtp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chatgtp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/havamal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>havamal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inspiration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/odin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>odin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spirituality</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a></p>

Cat<p>It is almost time for my annual reading of the Hávamál, in honor of Odin, the Wise One and Allfather.

Cat<p>I've been working on this lace altar piece for the past month as a dedication to Odin, and it's finished!</p><p>This style is called "filet crochet." I designed it myself, edged with a vintage lace pattern. It represents the rune staves falling from Yggdrasil, with the word "Allfather" in elder futhark below it. I listened to a bunch of different audio versions of the <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Havamal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Havamal</span></a> while crocheting. </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/DevotionalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevotionalArt</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Odin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Odin</span></a></p>

Der Spruch entstammt der Havamal (Spruch 55, Übersetzung von Wilhelm Jordan) und ist damit sehr, sehr alt. Schon interessant, was unsere Ahnen schon wussten...
