Thors Hammer pendant, Skane, bronze, large

Bronze replica of 1000-year-old Thors Hammer found in Skane, Sweden.

In Norse mythology, Mjolnir is the hammer of Thor. For a time Thor was the highest
germanic god, especially among free pheasants and warriors. The scandinavian
kings believed in Odin as the highest god. In mythology the dwarf Brokk forged the
Mjolnir. It is said to be the most fearsome weapon in Norse mythology that never
missed its mark. It is often referred to as either a club, axe, or hammer, and is
capable of toppling giants and destroying mountains with a single blow.
Today the thorshammer is worn as ornament or lucky charm, or else as a symbol
of paganism and atheism in a christian community.
