Alchemy pendant~THOR'S HAMMER BINDRUNE w/Chain MJOLNIR Norse Mythology MJOLLNIR
Thor was the god of thunder and of the sky in Norse and early Germanic mythology. Though Odin held a higher rank, Thor seems to have been the best-loved and most worshiped of the Norse deities. Unlike Odin, he did not require human sacrifices. According to Adam of Bremen, "Thor, they say, presides over the air, he governs the thunder and lightning, the winds and rains, fair weather and crops...If plague and famine threaten, a libation is poured to the idol Thor." He was the protector of gods and men against the forces of evil. Hammer-shaped amulets were worn about the neck well into the the Christian Era, when the hammer was often paired with the cross.
