On this design like all of the \"path of…\" design I've incorporated the face of Thor on the back. On the rows are different stories of Thor, like the Fishing of Jormungandr, the cutting of Sifs hair and thus the birth of Mjölnir. The design is also sharp with 90 degree angles to symbolize thunder and the rough nature of Thor - a sharp and brutal fighter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eCATCHING JORMUNGANDR\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eThere are rows of Thor fishing for Jormungandr with a ox's head. In this story when trying to capture the great beast he pushes his foot through the boat - which has also been depicted on runestones and artwork from the viking age.

But he cannot help but meddle in the middle and turns into a fly and annoys the dwarves. This results in the dwarves messing up the creation of Mjölnir, thats why Mjölnir has a short shaft. Thor also posesses a gauntlet and belt that give him strength and the ability to wear Mjölnir. Mjölnir also returns to Thor always when thrown, this likely is a reference to thunder - as a similar motif exists in Finnic tribes also where their thunder god has one hammer to strike with lightning and another to withdraw lightning.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eTHOR RECEIVES MJÖLNIR\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eIn the middle on one of the rows it shows Thor receiving Mjölnir for the first time and it binding to him with a great spark, which symbolizes a great thunder storm.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eFACE OF THOR ON THE BACK\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eOn the back is the face of Thor with different elements of him - his eyeguard is fashioned to look like Mjölnir.

It is a part of a series of designs that honor gods and beings from the viking age and prior. The point of these designs is that they are like wearable stories - you can discover tales based on the designs as there are references and hints to the deities and beings they honor. Storytelling has been a major part of human history and that is something I want to continue with my designs.The Norns themselves are very mysterious. This design is based on the three main Norns that live under one of the roots of Yggdrasil and even though it's unclear if they represent the past, present and future I've depicted them as such on this design.

The shield here also symbolizes the sun, which Ullr representing the trollskog is wearing on his back, thus blocking out the sun, as often sun can not reach through the thick trees onto the ground, leaving it hard to navigate - instead you need to rely on other factors like moss on trees\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHis belt is a waterfall and the undergarment is stones and soil, which lie under the trollskog. His beard is earth worms, and the bottom of his cloak is roots of the trees. And some berries here and there as a cherry on top! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn your walks into deep forests, should you get lost, listen to the sounds of the branches and the wind. In these sounds lie the whispers that draw you closer to Ullr, who is waiting for you. Leave offerings the size of your palm in nine places. Leave them in stone, wood, moss, and water - on your ninth offering, Ullr will appear with his nine rings, which on each you swear an oath on. After this, he will show you the way out of the forest, were you to ever break any of the oaths, the next time you wake up will be back in that forest\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eÖDEMARK HEL\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eFrom as early as the Stone Age, we can see the end of life and the beginning of birth are a continuous loop as if leaving and entering are holding hands. This is seen in passage graves with their entrances always facing the direction where the sun rises, it is likely these people held a belief that the sun is born again – the same way those who had passed, sitting in the passage graves, would have seen the sun rise the same way you see the light the first time you exit a womb\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBut not everyone is blessed with this beautiful loop. Those who have done evil knowingly again and again will have a different loop. Their eternity is set in the desolate lands of Helheim, home to the goddess Hel from norse mythology. While many may pass through these lands on their way to the underworld, there are those who will be stuck here in the swamps with thick tar and disgusting stench. Forced to walk through these lands towards the exit of the womb I've depicted here as a spiral. The good will get to where they are destined, be it the halls of Valhalla or to return to life once more to finish goals they didn't get to finish before. But the cowardly, greedy and evil will once again wake in these swamps, under the layer unable to breathe and having to fight themselves onto the surface just to walk this path again and again\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSo, through your journey in life, dare to stand up and dare to help others. Lead by example, not by judging and ordering others what they should do. Respect others' decisions if they harm no one, respect others' beliefs if that is what gives them courage and the will to go through day by day. Force not your beliefs onto others but help them on their way. This way, you will keep yourself from struggling through these swamps\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eSTJARNGLÆR NOTT\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eThe guiding Goddess, watching over you. She is the embodiment of the night, and in this rendition, I've depicted her as a clear nightsky with all of the stars showing. That is also what Stjarnglær Nótt means, a star clear night\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAround her are constellations, distant planets and stars. Her skirt here is named bifröst and I've depicted it as the Milky Way - as the name bifröst could mean the shimmering path. In her hands, she is holding Tjasses eyes, a jötunn whose eyes were thrown into the sky. Her necklace is the shiny pole star - Polaris. Guiding you towards new adventures and journeys\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eSOLVÄND ODIN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eThe name Solvänd means the changing of the sun, the solstice. And just like the god Odin is masterful in shapeshifting, so is the sunwheel symbolizing the sun behind him - the sun alters everything we see and feel around us. During winter times is also when I've seen the most sun cross halos appear in the sky and to me Odin associates a lot with winter times, traveling from home to home. His eyes symbolize the two times of the year, one dark and full of mystery - the other wide open and paying close attention. I've depicted him wearing a cape of raven feathers and his helmet is etched with runes that say Hrafna on it, the Old Norse word for a raven.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis cape is also to symbolize the darkness covering the land during winter times, while his beard here is white and gleaming, like the summer sun. Just like the gods, the very sun, seasons and nature more broadly is to be honored and taken care of. Cause the nature around us is the true personification of all the gods around us. The changing of the sun is like law, it will always happen and you must overcome the changes that come with it. And this also applies to your personal life, we all have different equinoxes in our everyday lives - so let this remind you that when it's the darkest, it will only continue to get brighter. But when its the brightest, dont be wasteful and careless, but be smart and prepare so the dark periods are not as harsh.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eVISDAL HOENIR\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eA god from Norse Mythology who, in some stories, was one of three gods to create humans. He is also associated with storks because of the etymology of his name, which in proto germanic means stork - or it is a loan word from greek to proto germanic meaning \"the swan-like one.\" Thus, he would be the origin of the folklore that storks deliver babies, as he was one of three gods to create the first humans\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor that reason, I've depicted him with a stork headdress and, on his garment, are petroglyph ships filled with people, symbolizing him carrying into the world the first humans. And the reason he is hovering runes from his hands is that Hoenir is a project I've been building for over a year now, and you can find it on the Valhyr site. It is an English to Old Norse translator - not just a rune converter - but actually turning English words into Old norse, and yes, you can also see those words in many different viking valhalla odin futhark runes. Therefore, Hoenir is hovering the runes cause he is bringing you the capability to experience this old language and play around with it\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bold h3\"\u003eHUGINN, MUNINN \u0026amp; METINN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"margin-top-small\"\u003eFrom old Norse mythology, we learn of the god Odin and his two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, representing thought and memory. He is afraid that one day they will fly so far away that they are unable to return, perhaps a metaphor for when he will go insane he will lose his mind and memories. It is also said in those tales from long ago that Odin searches for wisdom and is always eager to learn. He even sacrifices his eye and hangs from a tree for 9 days and 9 nights to learn of the runes. That is where my interpretation of the third raven comes from Metinn\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe names for Huginn and Muninn come from Hugr and Munr with the ending -inn, which is a common thing that happens to words that are turned into names in Old Norse. The name Odinn itself has it, as his name comes from Odr with the -inn ending. The third ravens name Metinn I've derived from the word Metnaðr, which means a goal, aspiration, or dream\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is also in this piece that I've interpreted Muninn (memory) as the past, Huginn (thought) as the present, and Metinn (goals) as the future. As in my view, all of these are equally as important, and I would be very afraid if any of these ravens were to never return. We need memories to learn from and to have something to think back of. We need thoughts to react to things happening now and to be able to exist in the moment. And we need goals and dreams to aspire towards something, to always keep us moving and not sitting still. As when you just sit still is when you eventually go insane the same way if you lose your thoughts or memories\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Valhyr","offers":[{"title":"2XS","offer_id":55812470505812,"sku":"8925334_33974","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XS","offer_id":55812470538580,"sku":"8925334_33975","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":55812470571348,"sku":"8925334_33976","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":55812470604116,"sku":"8925334_33977","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":55812470636884,"sku":"8925334_33978","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":55812470669652,"sku":"8925334_33979","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":55812470702420,"sku":"8925334_33980","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":55812470735188,"sku":"8925334_33981","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":55812470767956,"sku":"8925334_33982","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":55812470800724,"sku":"8925334_33983","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6XL","offer_id":55812470833492,"sku":"8925334_33984","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/6565\/6416\/files\/NorseMythology_1_2689a0e4-da6c-4ccb-984f-f16da8fbebe6.jpg?v=1778923412"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/6565\/6416\/collections\/NorseMythology_1_2689a0e4-da6c-4ccb-984f-f16da8fbebe6.jpg?v=1789634700","url":"https:\/\/valhyr.com\/collections\/norse-mythology-hoodies.oembed","provider":"Valhyr","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
