The history of the Mjolnir amulet
This talisman was created in honor of the Scandinavian god, whose name is Thor.
He was the son of the supreme god Odin and the Earth-nurse goddess, whose name was Jord. Thor is believed to be the god of thunder and lightning. He is the main protector of people, especially the patron of warriors and farmers. Thor was depicted as a mighty warrior with red hair. Every day, in his chariot, drawn by two goats, God traveled around the earth and kept order on it. The main weapon of God is a hammer. The main opponents are frost giants. They are also called jotuns. More than once they rebelled against the gods of Scandinavia, but received a worthy rebuff, first from Odin, and then from his son.
There was a belief that the day would come when the era of people would come to an end and evil forces would break out onto the earth. Every Scandinavian calls this time Ragnarok. In this era, people will enter into their final battle with the forces of evil. The gods will not stand aside either. Each of them will fight their opponent.
According to legend, the hammer was forged and presented to the thunder god by two dwarfs: Cindy and Brokk. However, its handle was disproportionately small relative to the pommel. However, this did not stop Thor from using it as a weapon, and the god was completely able to subjugate him. The hammer did not obey anyone else.
Even the gods could not lift him. The hammer was good in both close and ranged combat. Thor easily threw it at his opponent and Mjolnir always returned right back into his hands. In addition, God could resurrect the dead using a hammer. There is a belief that Thor once revived a whole flock of sheep thanks to him. Therefore, Thor's hammer is a weapon that signifies not only death, but also life. In honor of this divine weapon, the Mjolnir amulet was created.
The symbol of Thor's hammer entered the runic series. He, like other runes, is considered a sacred symbol. The name of the Hammer of Thor rune is Thurizas. Its name also includes a syllable of the name of God. Therefore, Thor is inextricably linked to his weapon. The Mjolnir amulet itself can be decorated with other runes, which enhances its properties.
What is the significance of a runic amulet?
This amulet has a very great influence on its wearer and performs many functions. Its creator is the famous runologist Santas. Becoming Thor's Hammer includes the following working runes:

- It protects a person on a psychological and mental level, preventing negative factors from the outside from influencing him.
- The amulet gives peace of mind to its owner, protects against lack of money, improves health and virility, strengthens the family unit and relationships with relatives.
This amulet is aimed at clearing the path from any obstacles and troubles. The amulet literally destroys everything that could prevent its owner from achieving his cherished goal. After cleaning, the talisman must be activated and correctly specified. In this case, it will also be aimed at protecting its owner from any negative influences.
The Hammer of Thor talisman appeared in honor of the god of lightning and thunder - Thor. His main weapon was a hammer, which was forged by two dwarfs. The peculiarity of the weapon turned out to be its disproportion; the handle was too short. Despite this, Thor subjugated the hammer; no one else could do this.
God was the protector of people and order. He could throw the hammer any distance, and the weapon always returned to his hands. In addition, God had the power to bring people back to life with the help of his weapon.
Thor's hammer has become a symbol of protection and a weapon that helps in noble deeds, endowing its bearer with strength, courage and a strong inner spirit.
The Legend of Mjolnir
Mjolnir
Not only Thor's natural strength, endurance and cunning protected him in battle, but also his famous hammer. The Scandinavians have a legend about its origin.
Loki, the god of fire, and the miniature dwarfs once argued about who was the most skillful blacksmith. Loki argued that the dwarves would not be able to produce an item greater than the treasures of Asgard. The dwarfs accepted the dispute and got down to business. Loki's head was on the line. They forged a beautiful hammer, but Loki, turning into a fly, interfered with them, so the hammer had a short handle and a knocked-down center of gravity.
But the hammer was recognized as the greatest product of blacksmiths. Loki lost and had to lay down his head, but the wise Odin forbade killing Loki, and his mouth was sewn up so that he could no longer mock the dwarves.
The hammer was given the name Mjolnir, it was given to Thor to protect Asgard. The hammer had miraculous properties: it was so heavy that it could pierce a giant’s head with one blow and no one could lift it. The hammer always came back to him, and the short, disproportionate handle did not prevent him from hitting any target on the first try.
How and who can wear Mjolnir
Thor's Hammer is a traditionally male amulet. It is recommended to wear it, first of all, to those representatives of the stronger sex whose activities are related to military craft, sports and various kinds of dangers. In this case, the talisman will protect the life and health of the owner. However, in some cases, the fair sex can also use the amulet.

Runes ↑
Thor's hammer has its own runic symbol - the Thurisaz rune. This is a sign with strong masculine energy. Thurisaz is a rune with a dual meaning. She is capable of both destruction and creation. The sign destroys the old and obsolete, and creates a new, more perfect one.
Another meaning of the rune is “gate”, a place for reflection. A kind of stop that allows you to turn around and look critically at the past, understand the mistakes you have made, be sad over your failures and rejoice at your successes. This is a chance to draw conclusions, leave the past behind you and step forward.
Rune Thurisaz is a symbol of fertility, sexuality and procreation. It has protective properties and brings good luck. The rune is a stylized image of Mjolnir. In magic it is used when other methods are powerless.
The rune serves as a protective talisman and helps in achieving the goal. For this purpose, it was applied to the armor and weapons of warriors. In cases where immediate help is needed in the fight against evil forces, runologists advise mentally imagining four Thurisaz runes, connecting them together in the shape of a square with their points up. The silver talisman Thor's Hammer, with a rune printed on it, protects against black magic.

Thor - God of Thunder ↑
The favorite hero of Scandinavian myths was called Thor. He was revered as the god of thunder, storms and fertility. He was the eldest son of the powerful god Odin and the Earth goddess Erd. Myths describe him as a hero with red hair and a beard. Having an enormous appetite, he ate a whole bull in one sitting.
Thor was distinguished by his enormous strength. From the age of ten he carried his father’s weapons, and at twelve he easily lifted ten heavy bear skins. The giantess Grid gave the thunder god a Belt of Strength and a Staff. The magic belt doubled Thor's strength, and the Staff helped him in his travels.
Thor was considered the protector of the Scandinavian peoples. Every day he traveled around the sky in his chariot, making sure that no evil entered his native lands. The god’s chariot was harnessed to two fleet-footed goats: Tangniostr, which means “grinding teeth” and Tangrisnir – “grinding teeth.” They were strong and resilient.
Thor became invincible when he was given the magic hammer Mjolnir. Two dwarfs, Brock and Cindy, argued with the god of cunning and deception, Loki, that they could create a magical object of extraordinary power. The dwarves won this argument and this is how the hammer Mjolnir appeared. Special gauntlets were attached to the hammer, with the help of which the weapon acquired monstrous destructive power.
Mjolnir had a short handle and a powerful striker. He easily defeated the enemy in battle. It was also an unsurpassed throwing weapon, which, having accurately hit the target, returned to the hands of the owner. The hammer blow caused thunder and lightning.

How to make a talisman
It has long been believed that a talisman that is made by hand has the greatest power. It has a strong mystical connection with its creator and owner. However, not every person has the opportunity to make a metal “Hammer of Thor”. Therefore, a material that is more malleable in processing will come to your aid - oak or walnut wood.
During the making of the amulet, the master transfers his energy to it. Therefore, you should begin the process in good health and in a good mood. If your goal is to improve your financial situation, then cut out “Thor’s Hammer” on the waxing Moon. If you want to get rid of the disease with its help, then start working on the waning moon. Protective amulets against physical dangers or against witchcraft can be made at any time.
In ancient times, Scandinavian warriors donated their weapons to the god Thor, or rather, replaceable wooden plates on the hilts of swords. They were burned in a fire and replaced with new parts. Therefore, if you want to follow the old tradition, then purchase a new dagger or knife with a collapsible wooden handle. Remove the handle and burn it in a fire with the words “To you, great Thor, I sacrifice. Grant me your protection and help!”
