Thor’s Hammer is called Mjølner (Danish/Old Norse language). Thor is the son of Odin and his wife Frigg. Odin is the main male god, and Frigg (means the beloved), is the main female goddess. She is also the goddess of the Earth. Thor is the god of thunder and war and one of the most popular gods in all Norse mythology. Even today, Thor is invoked at weddings, at births and at special ceremonies for his abilities to bless, make whole and protect. Thor’s hammer is depicted in Norse mythology as the most powerful weapon in existence. Vikings identified the hammer with Thor’s love of freedom and justice, strength, bravery and honesty. Whoever possesses the symbol of Thor’s hammer also embraces and protects those same values. For those reasons Vikings wore the hammer, and it furthermore gave them good fortune.
