Viking Valknut Rune Pendant with 24 Inch Chain - Stainless Steel

This pendant features a circle of Norse runes surrounding a large central Valknut, (pronounced "VAL-knoot"). The Valknut is one of the most popular yet enigmatic symbols of Norse mythology. The word Valknut is a more modern Norwegian term that means "knot of those fallen in battle." It is most widely recognized as a prominent symbol adorning the 7th Century Tangelgarda stone on the island of Gotland, Sweden. While the true meaning of the Valknut is not fully known, historian H.R. Ellis Davidson describes the Valknut as a symbol relating to the power of the god Odin and his ability to lay bonds on the mind, thereby rendering men either helpless or crazed and fearless in battle.

This beautiful pendant pays homage to these symbols of Norse mythology, bringing them together in striking fashion.
