Description: Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor is undeniably one of the most popular fictional objects in popular culture today. It has been helped in no small part to that position by the spectacular success of the Avengers movie series and especially the popularity of Thor, the Norse god who wields it. The Mjolnir/Mjölnir is actually part of the Norse mythology of the peoples of Scandinavia and tales of its creations and marvelous feats are about a thousand years old. The name, ‘Mjolnir’ is commonly accepted to mean ‘Lightning’ in the capacity as the hammer of the God of Thunder but the root word is more similar to the words ‘grind’ or ‘crush’.
Description: As one of the lesser-known Viking symbols, the Web of Wyrd is a symbol in Norse mythology that represents the interconnectedness of past, present and future. According to the myth, the Web of Wyrd was woven by the Norns/Nornir, the Shapers of Destiny in Norse mythology. The symbol comprised of nine staves contains all the runes thus symbolizing all ‘the possibilities’ the past, present and future brought and might bring. It is also called ‘Skuld’s net’ as Skuld was believed to be one of the Norns that wove the web.

Description: This runic inscription is of the Elder Futhark, the oldest form of rune alphabet. I've based my version off of the Kylver Stone which is from around 400 CE and is the oldest known written sequence of the Elder Futhark. Some of the runes are a little different from what is commonly seen elsewhere. Perhaps this is a personal "handwriting" style, the runes hadn't been formalized in style, or even a mistake? The final symbol-- the tree-like one-- is not part of the Elder Futhark but thought to perhaps be a bindrune. For my version I have written each rune by hand with ink and a calligraphy brush then scanned it to make it truly unique!

Description: Huginn and Muninn are a pair of ravens that served Odin the Allfather as his messengers. In several artworks, the two ravens were depicted right next to Odin or sitting on his shoulders. Huginn and Muninn flew around the world during the day and returned to Odin in the evening to tell him all they saw. It was believed that, thanks to the abilities given to them by Odin, Huginn and Muninn were keen observers and could travel all of Midgard (the world) in a day, speak and understand the language of humans.
