Product description
For the Germanic and Proto-Indo-European peoples, the wolf had two meanings. On one hand, it was a dangerous enemy that threatened both humans and livestock. On the other hand, the dog, a descendant of the wolf, was seen as a loyal friend and protector of the family. The wolf itself was also respected for its cunning, strength, and fury. These mixed feelings about the wolf led to rituals and traditions in which the wolf played an important role.
The koryos ritual was a significant ceremony in the wolf cult. In the traditions of the Proto-Indo-European peoples, the Germanic and Old Norse Ulfheðnar appeared—warriors who worshiped Odin (Wodan) and were known as the "wolves of Odin." In Germanic and Old Norse art, wolves symbolized loyalty, strength, and protection, but also aggression and cunning. Objects adorned with wolf symbols were likely seen as carriers of these traits, offering spiritual power and protection to their owners.
