Thorhammer small
Mjölnir, his true name, was forged by the dwarves Sindri and Brokkr,
so that the god Thor could fight with him against the giants. He is a symbol for the
chaotic and destructive forces of nature to which people have always been exposed
were.
Thor brought order to nature while maintaining balance.
It was this quality that made people revere him and asked for his protection and
asked for his strength. The Thor's hammer is not just a clumsy weapon, because with
Mjölnir was also blessed the marriage and asked for fertility by giving the bride
a Thor's hammer in his lapß laid.
Thor was also considered the god of farmers and the protector of travellers, because he took care of good weather and good harvests. “Thor consecrate these runes” is the
on runestones Viking Age often read and sometimes just a hammer depicted on it.
