Symbols played a crucial role in Norse mythology, representing power, fate, and the connection between worlds. Yggdrasil, the World Tree, connected all realms, while Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir, symbolized protection and divine strength. The Valknut, associated with Odin, represented warriors who died in battle.
These symbols were deeply meaningful to the Norse people, appearing on runestones, weapons, and amulets. Their significance continues today in art, literature, and even modern Viking-inspired culture.
