"The test of a true myth is that each time you return to it, new insights and interpretations arise."Thor was the most powerful of the gods of the 10th century Vikings, and their religion has evolved into our own mythology. Thor's hammer, Mjollnir was his mighty weapon against all forces of evil. Those who wore a Mjollnir Hammer Amulet were protected from evil. Mjollnir was made for Thor by the dwarfs Brokk and Eitri who made magical objects for the gods. Not only would lightning flash every time Thor threw Mjollnir, but it would unerringly hit any object at which it was thrown. It would then return to Thor's hand. Mjollnir was greatly feared by the enemies of the gods, the frost giants. Upon Thor's death, Mjollnir will be inherited by his sons Magni and Modi. A powerful, magical Amulet, indeed - Especially for sailors and people facing difficult decisions, for Helgi the Lean, from Landnamabok, though raised a Christian, called on Thor's advice for seafaring and difficult decisions.
Our Mjollnir is designed after a silver Thor's Hammer unearthed at Bredsatra in Sweden. 1 1/2 inches high and 1 1/8 inch wide, it shows an intricate applique design on its handle.
