Thanks to the Marvel movies, nearly everyone now knows about Thor's hammer (Mjölnir) which was a very popular choice for Vikings to use in their jewelry as represented in this ancient Danish artifact to the right. The cosmic forces and fate were active in everything. There was no separation (as there so often is today) between faith and reality. The spirituality of the Norse Vikings was so ingrained in their culture and thought process that they had no word for religion. Symbols played an important role in Norse culture. "By the end of the 10th century the Vikings in Ireland had adopted Christianity, and with the fusion of cultures it is often difficult to distinguish between Viking and Irish artifacts at this time." or Slavic, English, etc. The National Museum of Ireland stated the following on their website: Many of the last few generations of these Vikings were often the children of a Celtic mother. We offer an entire separate article discussing the controversy of their origin.īy the end of the Viking age, Vikings were already beginning to blend with the cultures they settled in. Two other very popular symbols known as the Ægishjálmur (helm of awe) and the Vegvisir (wayfinder) which were both first found in Icelandic magic books from the 19th century. Other examples of non-Viking aged symbols include the Troll Cross (not shown) which is based on later Swedish folklore and modern artistic interpretation. As well, the original meaning of these symbols are simply educated guesses by archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians.Ī few symbols that are considered "Viking" have no proof of ever being used during the Viking age, such as the the Elder Futhark runes which most scholars believe were replaced by the Younger Futhark runes around the beginning of the Viking Age. Some of these iconic images were primarily used before or after the Viking age. It is helpful to understand the true origin and background of each symbol.
