THOR'S HAMMER NECKLACE - VALKNUT RUNES

THOR'S HAMMER NECKLACE - VALKNUT RUNES

The Valknut, or Wotan knot, is one of the most mysterious symbols in Norse mythology. The name Valknut derives from the Old Norse words "valr," meaning "slain warrior," and "knut," meaning "knot."

This symbol is often found on graves, and it is interpreted as Odin welcoming slain warriors to Valhalla.

In Norse mythology, Mjölnir refers to the hammer wielded by the thunder god Thor. Mjölnir means "crusher" in Old Norse.

Mjölnir frequently appears in Norse sagas and was considered the most powerful weapon ever made. It had the ability to destroy entire mountain ranges with a single blow and granted Thor numerous powers, including the ability to summon lightning.

Mjölnir pendants became particularly popular as Christianity spread throughout Europe, and people wore them as a sign of defiance against newly converted Christians.

This handcrafted Viking necklace features the Valknut runes, symbolising the cycle of life and death, and the honour of warriors who fall in battle.
