The sign of Thor could be found on various weapons among the Vikings, Saxons and Germans. The popularity of this sign is explained by the fact that its main purpose is protection from Dark forces. Protection from disease, giving women desirable pregnancies, protecting warriors from injury and death - this is a secondary result of the symbol of Thor.

The first talismans differed in design from modern ones. Now the talisman is made in the form of a separate figurine, but previously the sign of Thor was depicted on various objects.

History of appearance
According to legend, Loki bet with the dwarf blacksmiths that they could not forge a weapon that would be superior in skill and power to the creations they had previously created. The dwarves got to work, and Loki, turning into a fly, tried in every possible way to prevent them from completing their plan. And he succeeded: the hammer handle was too short, and the center of gravity was shifted. However, despite the shortcomings, the hammer was recognized by the gods of Asgard as the greatest achievement of blacksmiths, and Loki was declared the loser of the argument.
Mjolnir was given to Thor, and only he could lift the weapon and use it. The hammer had the property of a boomerang and always returned to its owner.
Scandinavian god Thor
Thor is the guardian of 2 worlds: the divine Asgard and the human Mitgard. Evil, according to Scandinavian legends, took the form of giants, with whom Thor waged an endless war. He was helped in this mission by a magic belt, a hammer and gloves. God rode around in a chariot drawn by 2 goats, because... the places he had to visit were impassable for horses. Thor had the power of resurrection, so when his goats died after a grueling journey, he brought them back to life and continued his journey the next morning.

Amulet in other cultures
In addition to the analogy with the Slavic pantheon of gods, the symbolism of the hammer is also present among the peoples of the Baltic. God Perkunas - brother of Thor and Perun, commanded lightning and thunder. Depicted as a man with 2 horns. Only instead of an ax or hammer in Baltic myths, Perkunas wielded an ax. He was responsible for fertility and protection of the earthly world from dark forces.
In India, Indra is an alternative to Torah. Originally a sun god, he subsequently became associated with the lord of lightning and thunderstorms, Parjanya, and merged with him into a single whole. Just like Perun and Thor, Indra has his own weapon that helps him cope with the forces of evil - the vijra. Hindus believed that the image of this weapon provided protection from evil forces, diseases and otherworldly enemies.
