Pewter Thor's Hammer Celtic Knot Mjolnir Pendant

Description

The Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, produces thunder, lightning, and is a mighty
weapon against the enemies of Gods and men. With it Thor was invincible in
battles with frost giants, mountain giants, hill ogres, trolls, and other
demons that threatened Heaven and Earth. After being thrown the hammer would
magically return to Thor’s hand. He had a pair of Magic iron gauntlets that he
always wore when wielding Mjolnir, since without them he would be unable to
grasp the powerful hammer shaft. A blow from Thor’s hammer was so powerful
that it would result in instant death. Although Mjolnir could be the bringer
of death, it was also a Symbol of life and fertility in connection with Thor’s
influence over the rains and crops. It also Brings blessings during marriage
by keeping evil powers away and bringing fecundity to the bride. Thor was
almost powerless without Mjolnir: he woke one day to find that his hammer had
been stolen by the giant: Thrym, who demanded the hand of the Goddess Freya in
exchange for the hammer’s return. The gods devised a plan to trick the giant:
Thor dressed in Freya’s clothing, veil, and golden necklace went to Thrym’s
Palace with the trickster fire god Loki disguised as Freya’s maidservant.
Thrym set out a banquet for the wedding and when Mjolnir was brought in and
set on the bride’s knees for the ritual consecration, Thor threw off the
disguise, grabbed the hammer and used it to strike down Thrym and all the
wedding party. A unique design by artist Holly Bird.
