When you explore the Nordic Era Jewelry shop, it’s easy to notice that we have a large collection of Mjolnir pendants. You might wonder why Thor’s Hammer is so prolific in our store?
Mighty Thor, The Protector :
He’s the god of thunder. Lightning crackles in his hands and enemies cower at what he does! His powerful legs carry him across vast fields as he searches for more battles against evil that need to be won before Ragnarök–the end times come upon us all.”
The name of Thor’s Hammer in the Viking tongue is Mjolnir and it served as both symbol for protection, but also strength. One who possessed this powerful object could command an army with ease to do their bidding because they had someone at hand who was stronger than any other god or man alive; which made them very appealing during those times when gods were afraid due chaos forces outside Asgard looking through windows into what lay beyond its protective walls: Midgard – Earth (the realm where humans dwell).
The hammer that Thor uses in the movies was not actually given to him by his father Odin. In fact, it’s a common misconception – though one which has been repeated so often people might believe there is truth behind-that story because of how frequently they see this weapon being used throughout various Marvel films! It turns out Loki obtained said implement from dwarven craftsmen after all while trying desperately hard at getting something worthwhile during an adventure gone wrong (more on what happened below).
Mjolnir protected the Vikings not only against chaotic giants but also social order. When called on to hallow an event, such as a birth or death in need of spirituality for certification purposes it was used with great effectiveness because both Norsemen believed this would give them good luck and success on their journey ahead.

Origin Story
When the trickster god Loki discovered that his wife Siff had been tricked into cutting off all of her golden hair, he was furious. He demanded an explanation from Thor and threatened to torture or kill him if anything bad happened in return for this abuse by a mere mortal woman.
Loki knew exactly where on earth such fine strands could be found: Svartalfheim’s workshops of course! The dwarves there were both skilled craftsmen and often enchanted their creations; perfect material for revenge against them as well- after finding out what really caused himself (and thusly also others) pain with each swipe down.
The clever man approached a group of dwarves and asked them to create an elegant headpiece out gold for Siff. But while there, through tricks & machinations he also acquired five other objects that would clear his name with the gods in order restore it back onto its proper state!
Thor’s hammer was originally meant to have a long handle. However, Loki tried sabotaging the creation process and it came out with short one instead; meaning that only those who are strong enough can wield this heavy weapon.
The god of thunder, Thor is often depicted with his powerful hammer in hand. In order for him to properly execute any strike with such force it would take more than just physical strength; he uses special gloves and belt that increase how much weight can be lifted by each arm so they never get tired while also providing protection against blows from other weapons or obstacles alike.
Mjolnir and Marvel
The way that Marvel tells the story of Thor’s hammer is different in their superhero films than it was told before. In fact, there’s no evidence at all which suggests an ancient Viking believed this boomerang-like return feature for throws and returns themselves after throwing them.
Some people say that only the worthy can lift Thor’s hammer, but there are many stories where someone with less-than godlike qualities has been able to do it. In one instance a giant king steals the weapon from its rightful owner and faces no obstacles whatsoever in commanding this power for himself; however even he eventually returns what was rightfully owed after being tricked into eatingalities by Freya (a goddess).
Mjolnir Beyond the Vikings
Thor is not the only weather deity to be considered, and it turns out that he has been following in a long line of other Indo-European gods who also used hammers as their weapon. The Roman god Jupiter threw lightning bolts; Celtic deity Dagda carries his club for all sorts or mischiefs (and maybe even killing); Vedic Indra wields this spear which can shoot lightning from its tip when needed.
The deity Perun was a Slavic fertility and protective god, who often wields an axe. This Mjolnir (or “hatchet”) symbolized his power to prevent evil in Russia’s Ukrainians, Belarusians or Poles as well – just like Thor’s Hammer does for them too!
