Mjölnir Pendant from Ödeshög

Description of the Product

Mjölnir is the hammer of a thunder god Thor in Norse mythology. It is used both as a devastating weapon and as a divine instrument to provide blessings. The hammer is believed to help with protection, bring blessings of Thor, and even to increase fertility.

This specific hammer is one of the most remarkable Thor's Hammer finds of the Viking Age and comes from the Swedish village of Ödeshög in Östergötland.  It is made of high quality bronze.

The hammer was commonly worn as a pendant during the Viking Age in the Scandinavian cultural sphere, and Thor and his hammer occur depicted on a variety of objects from the archaeological record. As an amulet, Thor´s hammer became most popular in the late Viking Age with the arrival of Christianity and the need of the people to present their faith similarly to the Christian cross.

Today the symbol appears in a wide variety of media and is again worn as a pendant by various groups, including modern day practitioners of paganism and heathenry and naturally anyone interested in viking history.
