Raven - Wolf - Valknut
Embedded in the rich cultural heritage of the Germanic peoples, the Valknut, also known as Wotan's knot, stands as a powerful symbol that is both mysterious and meaningful. With this handmade wooden amulet, we bring you closer to the depth of these thousands of years old symbols, combined with exquisite craftsmanship.
The Valknut, consisting of three interlocking triangles, is firmly anchored in the old legends and myths of the north. Historically, it is often found in connection with battle scenes, sacrificial offerings, and particularly with the deity Odin or Wotan, on ancient picture and rune stones.
The design of this symbol harbors a profound Trinity symbolism that can take on both simple and complex meanings. It represents life, death and resurrection, three central aspects of human existence. It traces the eternal cycle of existence, from birth to death and beyond.
Some interpretations of the Valknut refer to time - past, present and future - and others in turn to the mythological brothers Wotan, Vili and Vé, who defeated the giant Ymir and thus ended the supremacy of the giants. In addition, there are interpretations that see it as a symbol for the three Norns (the goddesses of fate) or even for the nine worlds within Nordic mythology.
But there is also an intriguing story associated with this amulet, and that is that of Hrungnir's heart. Hrungnir, a mighty giant, opposed Odin and was ultimately defeated by Thor. The Valknut is often interpreted as his heart, making it a symbol of bravery, courage, and a heroic end.
The wooden amulet Valknut presented by us is masterfully made of high quality wood and has a size of about 35 x 35 mm. An intricately incorporated piece of glass adds dimension to the amulet and catches the light in a way that really brings the design to life. The delicate details and the smooth curves of the wood are enhanced by the precise craftsmanship that has gone into this piece of jewellery.
This amulet is perfect for anyone interested in the rich history and culture of the Norse and Germanic peoples. Not just a simple piece of jewelry, it is also a narrative piece, telling tales of heroism, destiny and the eternal cycles of life and death.
Whether as a gift for a loved one or as a personal symbol that you always want to carry with you – this wooden amulet Valknut will surely impress and inspire. It is a testament to the old days brought to the modern world. Be enchanted by the magic of the Wotan knot and carry a piece of the old world with you.
