It is an ancient Norse symbol that is also known as the Triskelion. This is a trilateral symbol, consisting of three interlocked spirals/horns, named Óðrœrir, Boðn, and Són.

There is no exact meaning of this symbol, although it can point on the stealing of the Mead of Poetry by Odin.

Aegir is the god of the sea. He was both worshipped and feared by sailors, for they believed that Aegir would occasionally appear on the surface to take ships, men and cargo alike, with him to his hall at the bottom of the ocean. Sacrifices were made to appease him, particularly prisoners before setting sail.
His wife is the sea goddess Ran with whom he has nine daughters (the billow maidens), who wore white robes and veils. Aegir was known for the lavish entertainment he gave to the other gods.

The Web of Wyrd is also known as Skuld’s Net – the Nore matrix of fate. It is one of the most appreciated and famous Nordic symbols that, as was believed could interconnect past, present and future.

It is one of the most essential Norse mythology symbols, as it was considered that The Web of Wyrd was woven by the Norns/Norni, the Shapers of Destiny. This symbol consisted of nine staves and all the runes, meaning it symbolizes all the possibilities of the past, present and future.

This is one of the most famous Norse mythology symbols that was frequently mentioned in Norse sagas including The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki, The Saga of the Volsungs, and Gongu-Hrolfs Saga.

The meaning and magical properties of this Viking symbol was different and had the various sense in every myth. However, there was one feature of Svefnthorn in all stores – it was used to put their enemies to sleep. As, for example, The Saga of the Volsungs tells that Odin put Valkyrie Brunhild into a deep sleep with the help of Svefnthorn.

Mjölnir or the Hammer of Thor is, undoubtedly, one of the most important (if not the most important one) and valuable symbols in the Norse/Viking era. There are a few considerations concerning the etymology of the word Mjǫllni.

One consideration suggests that Mjǫllni means “lighting,” while others consider this word means “white,” as it is the color of lighting, or “new snow” in the sense of purity. The other consideration suggests that Mjǫllni means “crushing” or “crush.”

However, due to the Norse or Vikings mythology, Mjölnir was not only a weapon but also an important tool used by Thor for a wide range of different purposes. With the help of Mjölnir, Thor consecrated things and people, and with the help of his hammer, he brought them from the realm of chaos into the sacred realm – cosmos.

This symbol is another Viking symbol that took a prominent part during the Viking era. Its three interconnected horns symbolized three horns in the myth of Odin and his searches for magical mead also known as the Mead of Poetry or Odhroerir/Óðrerir.

Due to the ancient Viking belief, Fjalar and Galar who were two dwarves killed Kvasir (a man or a god according to various resources) who was created from the spit of Æsir/Aesir and Vanir who had the unhuman possibility, knew everything, and could answer any question. Fjalar and Galar mixed the blood of Kvasir with honey and poured it into the three horns called Boðn, Óðrœrir/Odhroerir, and Són.

Aegishjalmur is rune stave that is well known to be a Viking symbol of victory and protection. The emblem itself reminds eight branches that look like radiant tridents that are located around a central point of the symbol, the point that should be protected. Those eight tridents protect that central point.

Taking into account the etymology of the word ‘Aegishjalmur”, we can conclude that the word consists of two words “aegis” that means ”shield” and ”hjalmr” that means” helm.” Vikings often depicted Aegishjalmr on their foreheads. As they considered it was an important symbol protecting them from their enemies, instill fear in them and helping Vikings in battles. Nowadays, the symbol Aegishjalmur is frequently used in the form of tattoos, that serves for many popes as protection amulets.

Undoubtedly, Valknut (also known as Odin’s knot) is one of the most famous and well-known Viking symbols. The word “valknut” consists of two words “valr” that means “slain warrior” and “knut,” meaning “knot.” Due to the Norse faith, in Valhalla, the god of war and death – Odin would welcome the warriors slain/killed in battle. Many animals’ figures that were associated with Odin, as well as Odin himself, were found in many Viking tombs with the Valknut drawn or placed next to them. These are the two main reasons why Valknut is considered an Odin symbol. The nine corners of three triangles that form the Valknut symbol also mean nine worlds of Norse mythology and life cycle through pregnancy and motherhood.

What is unique about the Valknut Viking symbol is the fact that it was found on many northern monuments and tombs. The Valknut symbol consists of three triangles that were sometimes depicted in a single line (unicursal) or Borromean style. What is special about this unique Viking symbol is that it has nine points because of its three triangles. The number nine was significant during the Viking age. Why? Because the number nine symbolizes nine words of northern mythology.

Runes.

The runic alphabet is called “futhark” according to the first six letters of the runic alphabet – f, u, þ, a, r, k. It is considered that the oldest futhark appeared between 2 and four century, the period of trade and war between the Mediterranean and Germanic people was taking place.

Viking culture is known to be only in oral form. Therefore many poems and songs were transmitted from generation to the next generation only in the oral form. For Vikings runes were not just letters; they were potent symbols, bringing deep meaning onto their lives. Runes were written only on stones or wood. Therefore they had an angular appearance. Runes were used as memorable symbols written on stones dedicated to well-known people.

The Vegvisir.

The meaning of the Viking symbol “Vegvisir” – “That Which Shows the Way” – is frequently associated with Aegishjalmur because of their similarity. What is more, these symbols are often confused. However, Vegvisir or the Viking Compass is another Viking symbol that consists of rune staves. In comparison with Helm’s Awe (which has the same arms), the Vegvisir’s weapons are different, and there are no two the same arms.

This ancient Viking symbol was one of the essential Vikings assistants. Why? Because the Vikings believed the Vegvisir, the Viking or the Nordic compass provided necessary assistance as well as guidance to those people who lost their life path. Although the Vikings did have the instruments that helped them to find the right direction (e.g., sunstones, Uunartoq disc, etc.), the more significant part of navigation tools were visual cues as well as their keen sense of direction.
