The geographical location of the Nordic countries greatly influenced the nature of the gods of the Scandinavian pantheon. The long, cold winters and harsh summers were not conducive to the appearance of “gentle” deities. They are stern warriors, fighting every second of their existence in heaven and on earth.
The eldest son of Odin, god of Law and Order, patron of justice and rational thought, the muscular lord of the fruitful Thunder and the smashing Lightning, who had rain and wind in his command: Thor is the ideal of the loyal and noble warrior to which every viking warrior aspired. His courage and sense of duty are unshakeable and his physical strength is second to none. That is why Thor is universally loved and revered, about his exploits folded a lot of funny and instructive stories. Despite his militancy and hot-temper, Thor was kind and gave his patronage to the downtrodden and oppressed. He knows the measure of all things and the place of each thing in the right and just order, he is the god of true faith and can always be trusted. He was the most popular of the Scandinavian gods and his cult was much more widespread than that of Odin. Thor took care of the land and the common people, so that most people called out to him for help. But he gives vent to anger only when those under his care are threatened.
To the ancient peoples, just as thunder was the embodiment of Thor, lightning was the embodiment of his hammer, destroying all danger as he rode across the sky in his chariot. The memory of Mjolnir and its owner has survived for many generations. Thor’s hammer has often been depicted on countless boundary stones and in various sources, symbolizing Thor’s greatness and his struggle for justice. The main meaning of this symbol is physical strength, patience, willingness to fight obstacles and overcome limitations. Ability to resist the destructive power of the unconscious, purification of consciousness from negative thoughts and attitudes. Protection from enemies, negative influences, to turn the forces of ill-wishers against themselves. The Hammer energy will remove any obstacles on the way, both external and internal. Energetically cleanses the space.
The important meaning of this attribute is fertility. The thunderbolt always brings rain, which has a positive effect on the harvest. But it is not only about potatoes or wheat, but also about female “fertility”. In analyzing the symbolism of Mjolnir, it was emphasized that the energy of the Hammer helps to overcome obstacles to conception and will be an excellent protector, if a woman wants to carry a healthy child and facilitate childbirth.
Even with the spread of Christianity amulet continued to be used, wearing it with a cross. For people of high status Mjolnir helps to stand on the positions, maintaining and strengthening the authority and respect; strengthens the family union; enriches the couple energy to continue the race; helps to win a victory in disputes, struggle, organization of affairs; protects against poverty and hunger, trouble; ruthlessly punishes ill-wishers; strengthen the character of perseverance, which helps achieve your goals; resists witchcraft and magic that suppresses the will. This amulet is very suitable for those who are involved in the military case, professionally engaged in a dangerous sport, and just wants to become stronger, more determined and free.
