Fact

Two powerful magickal symbols in a single amulet—The Valknut Symbol and the Hammer of Thor.

Valknut Symbol
A symbol comprising three interlocked triangles, the Valknut is one of the most enigmatic symbols connected with Norse mythology. The symbol has been found on a number of memorial stones and rune stones from the Viking Age. It also appears on a number of Germanic objects, such as cremation urns of the Anglo Saxons. However, the term ‘Valknut' used to describe the symbol is a modern Norwegian invention, evolving from the combination of Old Norse words, ‘Valr' meaning slain warriors and ‘knut' meaning knot.
There is historical evidence of two types of Valknut symbol formations. One is in the Borromean form where the 3 triangles are separate but connected. The other has the 3 triangles joined in the unicursal form.
The Valknut
No one knows exactly what the Valknut represented for the ancient people, but a few theories have been put forth. According to one, the Valknut refers to ‘Hrungnir's Heart'. The basis for this assertion is the 13th-century book, Prose Edda that describes the giant Hrungnir's heart as made of stone and having three sharp corners. Another theory connects the Valknut with the Norse God Odin and his powers to bind and unbind the mind of men. The symbol has been found often in art depicting Odin and is believed to represent the afterlife.
Some theories connect it with reincarnation and consider it a talisman against evil. The nine sides or nine points of the three triangles are associated with the Nine Worlds of the Norse mythology. Interlinking of the three triangles is symbolic of inter-connectedness of the 3 realms of heavens, earth, and hell.
The Valknut symbol holds significance even today for the Germanic Neopagan faiths. It is sometimes used in popular culture like as logos of companies, sports teams, and organizations.

Thor's Hammer
The Norse good myths depict Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir as a very powerful weapon that could even level mountains. It was said to return (just like a boomerang) after being thrown. The hammer is supposed to have been crafted by Brokkr and Sindri, two dwarven brothers from Svartalfheim.
Besides being a fearsome weapon, Thor's Hammer was also used as a ceremonial object. It played an important role in hallowing and consecration rituals. The Mjolnir was supposed to have the power to ensure the community's well-being and was used for blessing all important ceremonies happening in the community, including births, marriages, and, even funerals.
Thus, Thor's Hammer not only represented destructive power but was also a symbol of protection and security from the evil and violent forces. Thor's Hammer amulets were often worn as a symbol of healing and protection. Even today, Mjolnir pendants are worn as religious symbols around the world by those who practice the Germanic Neopagan faiths.
