Thor's hammer, also known by its Norse
name of Mjölnir or Mjöllnir, features in Norse mythology as one of
the most fearsome weapons, capable of levelling mountains.
The Prose Edda (an Icelandic saga full
of Norse mythology and written at the end of the Viking age) gives a
summary of Mjölnir's special qualities in that, with Mjölnir, Thor:
... would be able to strike as firmly as he wanted, whatever his
aim, and the hammer would never fail, and if he threw it at
something, it would never miss and never fly so far from his hand
that it would not find its way back, and when he wanted, it would be
so small that it could be carried inside his tunic.
Today, Thor's hammer is often used as a
symbol of protection. We're also happy to craft
custom
Mjölnir pendants for any purpose.
