Northern Viking Jewelry® 925-Silver Rune Valknut Earrings

Valknut:
The wind is swaying the age-old pines and firs. The hooting of an owl can be heard from the woods. A campfire is crackling. The oval-shaped buckles on the maiden’s dress are gleaming in the light. She closes her eyes and waits. A sudden crack is heard in the dark. The maiden opens her eyes. She lights a torch, in case it is a wild animal, and holds it out towards the edge of the forest: “Who’s there?” she shouts. The rustling sounds come closer and closer. Then a man steps into the firelight. The maiden immediately recognises the cape, the plaited moustache and the shoes laced by a local tanner. She lets the torch drop from her hand and runs into the arms of the man: “You’re back!” Later that night, after the man has told all there is to tell about the border waters of Harald Bluetooth, the angry sea winds and the riches of conquered monasteries, he asks his maiden to close her eyes and steps behind her. The man pushes her long locks away from her neck and opens his fist. A piece of jewelry emerges from it. The man ties it around her neck. The silver has become warm in his hand and feels pleasant on the skin. The man says: “Accept this piece of jewelry, in memory of the fallen and to tie us together. When you carry it, you will bear bravery, truth, honour, loyalty, discipline, generosity, self-sufficiency, a sense of duty and survival with you.” The woman turns and sees the same kind of jewelry on her man’s chest. And they sit by the fire until morning – until the fire burns down to red cinders, the hoots of the owl fade and the rising sun chases the stars from the sky.

Northern Viking Jewelry® 925-Silver Wolf Head Thor's Hammer Earrings

Thor’s Hammer:
The warship is waiting. The warrior king and his men sit in a half-circle around the blind storyteller of the village. The king takes Thor’s pendant from around his neck and hands it to the bard. “Tell us about the struggle of Thor, son of Odin, so as to fill my men’s hearts with courage,” the king says. The storyteller takes the pendant and closes his eyes. “I see everything again and shall tell it as it happened.” “Thor, son of Odin, sailed these seas with his men. Their ship reached the open sea, and the waves were as high as a stone circle. A sudden calm fell upon the skies and waves. The sea was like newly blown glass. Then everything began boiling. The sun darkened, and from the depths of the sea rose Midgårdsormen, a great snake that coiled its enormous body around the ship. The men grabbed their swords without fear. But the most fearless of all was Thor, who laid hold of his hammer Mjölner. Thor bellowed powerful words. Suddenly, the sky darkened but was lit up by lightning bolts everywhere at once. Thor was now in possession of all the powers of the sky and storm. He used the power of the thunder to defeat the snake, making armour for his men from its skin. Thor’s power lies in this pendant. Wear it proudly and without fear.”

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.”

Northern Viking Jewelry® 925-Silver Moon Raven And Star Earrings

The Ravens of Odin: 
His faithful horse Sleipnir is sleeping. The horse’s eight legs are pointing in different directions. The god himself is also asleep on his throne, peaceful as a child. Odin. As the day passes and the shadows of the clouds flow towards the dark through the halls of the realm, Odin suddenly opens his only eye. He hears them. The echoes of the wingbeats louden, like avalanches beneath Asgard’s starry sky. Odin clutches his jewelry and feels their presence in his heart: Hugin and Munin, thought and memory, his senses deep in the workshops of the sprites of darkness and high in the clear distances of the giants. Like gusts of wind, the ravens burst in through the large windows of the throne room, settle on the shoulders of their master and whisper in his ears. Odin seals the knowledge by kissing his jewelry. He is smiling. He knows.

Northern Viking Jewelry® "925 Rune Vegvisir Stud Earrings

Vegvisir:
A ship decorated with runes is waiting in the cove. The sun has coloured the water’s surface orange. The smell of sweat and tar is in the air and beer is swishing in skins moistened by the spray. The village goldsmith has been working hard again in his dark workshop. When a boisterous bunch of Viking warriors comes on board, the smith hands them a Vegvisir, a rune compass. “If the stars and the shoals of fish lead you astray, Vegvisir will guide you through storms and snares. Even in the midst of a fog, it will know your destination,” he says.

Northern Viking Jewelry® 925 Ukko's Hammer Stud Earrings By Johan Thorolf

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.
