In Norse mythology, Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing and fertility.  The hammer Mjöllnir was his primary weapon. Thors Hammer was an Instrument of blessing, consecration, and protection this may just be a few reasons why so many wear this symbol in pendants and tattoos.  This pendent is forged iron steel with a darkened stone finish, twisted decorative handle, and a bail at the end.   May Mjöllnir bless and protect you. Or just look great around your neck.
