Norse Runes Magnets

God of mischief and trickery

In Germanic mythology, Freyja (Old Norse) is a goddess. In nearly all sources, she is described as the wife of the god Odin and Queen of Valkyrie. In Old High German and Old Norse sources, she is also connected with the goddess Fulla.

In Norse mythology, Huginn and Muninn are a pair of ravens that fly all over the world, Midgard, and bring information to the god Odin.

Olrun was the daughter of a chieftain, whom she died protecting. Once she was escorted to Vahalla, Olrun decided to dedicate herself to the pursuit of knowledge above all else, which was odd for one among the feasting and roaring denizens of Vahalla. Olrun's design is based on an eagle.

Hrist (pronounced as "Rist"), meaning "the quaking one" is a legendary Norse Valkyrie. She was entitled to half of the dead heroes herself, bringing them not to Valhalla, but to her own banquet hall, Sessrumnir.

Thurisaz represents the ability we have to resist unwanted conflicts in a passive manner. It is a rune of protection and can tell us of a possible change that would have otherwise come without warning. :)

"The Helm of Awe I wore before the sons of men In defense of my treasure; Amongst all, I alone was strong, I thought to myself, For I found no power a match for my own."

According to Scandinavian mythology, each of the virgins, daughters and messengers of the god of war, Odin, who had the mission to choose the heroes or the strongest fighters killed in combat to take them to Valhalla (Odin's paradise). According to legend, they were virgin warriors who rode on horses, boars or wolves, armed with spears and wearing helmets with the mission to protect Odin — supreme chief of the kingdom of Asgard, where the Norse gods dwell. The word "valkyrie" means "to choose the dead".

Fate of the Norns - The Illuminated Edda Hild wields the legendary sword Dainsleif. The sword is said to be able to bring back the dead from the grave. Hild used it to reanimate the dead every night so that two armies could fight once more when the sun arose the next day. Hervor wields the legendary sword Tyrfing. Tyrfing is said to carry three curses. These curses would shed the blood of the innocent. Once the blade was drawn, Hel would be receiving an unexpected guest, someone who was not meant to die this day. Show your Viking pride!

Ægishjálmur (The Helm of Awe) is an old Icelandic magical-stave used for all-round protection and invincibility in battle.

Othala represents a wealth that cannot be sold. This is wealth like family, friendships or our culture and heritage that is passed down to us. It represents an enclosure and maintains the existing state of things as they presently are. This purple design is for those who love pagan symbols and runes.

Vegvísir, theViking Compass. It is an eight-pointed shape, with each point having a unique design. It is one of many Icelandic magical staves, or galdrastafir, which were supposedly used to channel magic in specific ways.

They say that the all-father Odin discovered the runes. He hanged himself from the world tree, Yggdrasil, for nine nights, pierced in his side by his own spear. Once there he received no aid, no food, no water. A sacrifice of himself to himself. Peering into the Well of Urd, on the ninth night, the secrets of the runes finally became clear.
