The Hammer of Thor, known as Mjolnir, is one of the most powerful symbols in Norse mythology. Wielded by Thor, the god of thunder and lightning, Mjolnir represented immense strength, protection, and divine power, said to be capable of leveling mountains with a single strike. Beyond battle, it was also used in Viking rituals to bless births and marriages, symbolising protection and continuity of life.
Worn by both men and women, Viking jewelry was deeply symbolic, expressing spiritual beliefs, identity, and social status rather than simple decoration.
