"Mjolnir" Thor's Hammer Pendant $23.99
The magic hammer of the thunder god, Thor. Mjolnir, produced lightning bolts
and was Thor's indispensable weapon against the enemies of gods and men.
Mjolnir is the most fearsome weapon in the arsenal of the Norse pantheon and is used to slay any challengers to their supremacy. While referred to as a club, an axe, and a hammer, Mjolnir was thought to be capable of toppling giants and entire mountains with a single blow.
Legend surrounding the war hammer’s origins vary: some relate that "The Black Elves" (that live under the ground where the roots of Yggdrasil begin to form, in Svartalfheimr; svartalf being a dwarf or "black elf"), Sindri and Brokk made it at the behest of the calculating Loki; other tales contend that it descended to earth as a meteorite. Consequently, many Norse pagans believed that lightning strikes were a manifestation of Mjolnir on earth.
"Mjolnir" Thor's Hammer Pendant is double-sided. Made of Excelsior Pewter. Comes with a 34" cord, accent bead and booklet. 2" high.
