Collection: Ragnarök

Ragnarök is a Norse mythological series of events and battle foretelling the demise of many Nordic gods and the rebirthing of the world. In an effort to prepare for these events, Odin created a great majestic hall for warriors slain in combat known as Valhalla. It is within these great halls that their spirits would live on until the sounding of Gjallarhorn marked the beginning of Ragnarök.

 

This collection features a viking warrior accompanied by Odin’s two ravens Muninn and Huginn beneath a valknut, a symbol which is believed to represent Valhalla based upon all available translations. The axe being held by the warrior has many elder futhark runes engraved into it, each symbolizing a distinct blessing from the gods as an aid to them in combat.
