Swastika

For many people, the swastika (or hakenkreuz) is an emblem of hate and violence. But for others, it’s an ancient sign of prosperity and good fortune.

Viking warriors adorned themselves with powerful amulets and symbols. The Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, was a favored talisman among warriors, as it was believed to grant strength and protection in battle.

The Vegvisir, or Viking compass, was another talisman that connected them with the gods and goddesses through runic letters.

It is believed to be one of the oldest symbols in existence, and has been found carved into the tombs at Newgrange in Ireland and on Greek pottery and shields and coins as far back as the 6th century.
