about

scrín (Old English)
1. a chest, coffer, casket, box in which precious things are kept;
2. a receptacle for the relics of a saint, a shrine;
3. a cage in which a criminal is confined.

The foundation of Scrin is an Old English word with three meanings, all relating to containment, in the context of the Saxon invasion of the British Isles and the Celtic cultures they clashed with.

Scrin is about being confined and becoming free. It's a journey of land, sea, and sky, and what can be found within: old beliefs, ancient magic, and the call of fate.

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."
– Joseph Campbell
