Meaning of symbols: The Thor's hammer is also known as Thor's hammer, Mjölnir or Mjollnir. According to Norse mythology, Mjölnir was the magical weapon of the god of thunder Thor. Hurled at its enemies, the hammer never missed its target and always returned to its owner's hand. It is a symbol of strength and drive. The raven motif is very popular on Thor's hammers, because according to mythology, the father of the gods Odin owned two ravens, Hugin and Munin. He sent them out every day to reconnoitre so that they could tell him everything that was going on on earth. The raven was therefore considered a symbol of knowledge. He was also known as the Beast of the Battlefield. The runes represent the 24 characters of the so-called Elder Futhark. This runic alphabet was used by the Germanic tribes until the 8th century.
