MEANING OF VALKNUT
The Valknut symbol was of Odin, the god father of all the gods, of Asgard.
In Norse mythology, he was the chief god of all the gods in Asgard, a holy place where all the gods lived.
Odin, in Norse mythology is the god who receives the dead warriors to be taken to Valhalla.
This symbol was created by god Odin, that is believed to accompany the deceased’s venture through a different world of Valhalla, where the dead warriors are also offered mead.
It is a sign that embodies the afterworld of the warriors.
In Viking age, Vikings wore this symbol as the cult of Odin in their belief.
Along with the strong belief in Odin, Vikings used to wear Thor’s hammer pendants, which signify as the cult of Thor in their belief.
If the warriors accepted any battle, they were required to live and die as a warrior.
If they welcomed this life, they were supposed to worship Odin, the god of all gods.
Once they put their faith in Odin, they were taken to Valhalla, the afterworld of the warriors, where they lived and died as the brave Viking warriors of Odin.
