THOR'S HAMMER NECKLACE - VALKNUT SYMBOL

THOR'S HAMMER NECKLACE - VALKNUT SYMBOL

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 symbol of defiance against newly converted Christians.

The Valknut, or the "knot of the slain", is one of the most mysterious symbols in Norse mythology. The name Valknut is derived from the Old Norse words "valr" (slain warriors) and "knut" (knot). This symbol was often found on graves and is believed to represent Odin's welcome of slain warriors to Valhalla.
