We took care to use a hypoallergenic material with a low nickel content to avoid any unpleasant surprises.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title-monoproduit\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValknut: Odin’s Army\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis interpretation is credited to Hilda Ellis Davidson. According to her, this symbol represents the \"release of the human spirit granted to certain warriors so they can join Odin’s army for Ragnarok.\" This connection was made thanks to symbols found on funerary urns in Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, with depictions of wolves and ravens (strongly associated with Odin).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most striking example remains the Stora Hammar stone. On it, the Valknut is found in the beak of a bird, likely representing a valkyrie coming to fetch a warrior. The theory continues with the man below holding a spear, a symbol of Odin. The scene depicted on the stone would therefore represent the warrior’s passage to Valhalla after dying in battle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title-monoproduit\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegvisir: Symbol of Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Vegvisir’s name comes from the combination of the Icelandic words vegur (road or path) and visir, which in this context translates best as \"guide.\" Its most basic meaning is that of a signpost or guide. From this, we can deduce the meaning of vegvisir – the runic compass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut how does the Vegvisir compass work?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWell, it is used magically. It should not be confused with a real Viking compass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf course, as experienced sailors, the Vikings were used to traveling over open waters, and for that, they needed something to navigate by. The first Viking compass was one of the Vikings’ most memorable achievements, earning them the title “The first true navigators.” Here, we are not talking about that.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"obsidianrestraint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48015266414746,"sku":"45063358-pendant-plus-a-chain","price":34.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3275\/4074\/files\/collier-viking-puissance-du-valknut-36932787536123.jpg?v=1778618031","url":"https:\/\/obsidianrestraint.com\/ja\/products\/necklace-viking-power-of-symbols","provider":"Obsidian Restraint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
