Research into Viking necklaces shows that they could bear both pagan and Christian symbolism and were often associated with ritual specialists such as the vǫlur, who may have used them in their seiðr magic, think also of stories such as that of the Brísingamen necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant of genuine 925 silver, decorated with fine Viking knots, depicts Mjölnir, the mighty hammer of Thor. According to Norse mythology, the hammer was forged from Uru ore by the dwarves Sindri and Brokkr, and it has the special property of never missing its target and always returning to the hand of the thrower, a weapon that only Thor himself can wield.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celtic WebMerchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54064054403400,"sku":"BM-JW-002","price":50.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/bm-jw-002d_glasperlenkette_mjoelnir_anhaenger_mittelalter_schmuck.jpg?v=1789408596","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.com\/en-de\/products\/glaskralenketting-met-thorshamer-hanger","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
