Curb Chain 14 mm Northern Viking Jewelry® Necklace + Ukko Hammer

Fenrir (Wolf): It is said that a giant wolf lives in these woods. The warrior knows this but continues on his journey to the medicine woman, who is known to live on the edge of the swamp. The warrior is guided by a black raven, but hindered by a leg wound sustained in battle. He is carrying a dead man’s weight in goods: silk, spices, millstones and walnut shells. When the warrior arrives at the medicine woman’s hut, he spreads the goods out on the table. The woman’s dark eyes flash in the candlelight. She notices a piece of jewelry hanging on the man’s chest. “I will cure your ills, but the price is this item.” The warrior takes it off and hands it to the woman. Pleased, she caresses the pendant: “Fenrir. It is said to be shackled in these woods. Even the gods are afraid of it, and with good cause. Let us ask someone such as the one-handed Tyr! This jewelry is powerful, since the power of Fenrir is bound to it.”

Ukko’s Hammer:
Ukko’s Hammer or Axe is a very powerful Finnish symbol. It is also the Finnish counterpart to the Scandinavian Thor’s Hammer. Ukko, the supreme deity, used his weapon to administer justice and create lightning bolts. Ukko’s hammer can be a symbol for many things: with the edge turned downwards, it resembles a boat; with the edge turned upwards, it looks like a hammer; and horizontally it resembles an axe. The moon is shining brightly in a dark blue sky. The ferns are swaying in the wind. The wanderers are deep in the dark forest, among age-old oaks and pines. Suddenly, their leader halts and raises his hands in the air. The wanderers stop, and the sound of their footsteps ceases. Only the hooting of an owl is heard somewhere in the night. A man creeps by ferns. He touches the trunk of a broken tree. He raises his eyes towards the treetop which looks as black as charcoal. He circles the tree, caressing the bark with his hands and feeling the deep grooves in the rough surface. The man bends down and examines the grooves revealed by the moonlight: “Ukko’s hammer. He’s been here.” Suddenly, flames issue from the grooves. An enormous boom is heard in the distance and a flash is seen in the night sky. The shadowy woodland and the fells looming behind it are revealed.
