Valknut / Odin's Knot Pendant

Hand made by a Sexy Viking.  A 25 mm / 1" hard glass cabochon in a bronze tone setting with real parchment paper between the two.  I prefer real glass for its resistance to scratch resistance.

The Valknut, also called 'Odin's Knot' was a central symbol of Vikings and ancient Norse folks.  Today, it is associated with the modern heathen movement.  The word "valknut" translates as Knot of a slain warrior: valr (slain warrior) and 'knut' (knot).  It became associated with Odin, the All Father, because slain warriors belong to him.  Wearing the Valknut declares the willingness to die for what is right.
