This ring has a Valknut on the centre and has runes that decrease in size as the go around the band away from the Valknut. It is thought that the Valknut was displayed at the burial sights of those who dies in battle as a sign that they were to be taken to Valhalla. The name comes from Old Norse for "Knot" and "Slain Warrior", loosely meaning the "knot of those fallen in battle". The Valknut is a mysterious symbol consisting of three interlocked triangles, and is thought to be strongly tied to Odin.
Runes were carved into various materials including stone, bone, wood and metal. He teaches that the mind is powerful, it can travel like Huginn and Muninn, it can grasp the secrets of life and death, reflected in the Runes.The Eldar Futhark runes are a set of 24 characters that were predominantly used between 100 and 800 AD, by the Norse Viking as well as other Germanic people. Since the Valknut symbol appears to be on burial gifts, it very well may be related to life, death and rebirth, overcoming death and rising from the depths of Hel and the Underworld in order to become the Archetype that Odin was for the Germanic people. Odin has overcome death and has found the “secrets” while hanging from Yggdrasil which appears to be a myth of shamanic initiation. Another hypothesis might be that the Valknut is related to Odin and his powers, to perform magical spells as a sorcerer and shaman. Most of the Norse Myths were compiled during the 13th Century and the Prose Edda says in Chapter 17 that the heart of the Jötunn Hrungnir had “three sharp-pointed corners”. The exact meaning of the symbol is still up to research and nothing definite is known up until know. Trinity symbols can be traced from the Neolithic period to the Anglo-Saxon period such as the Triskele symbols. The myth of life, death and rebirth is an ancient pagan myth that goes far back in time, back to the Stone Age. It could be that it represents birth, life, death. Trinity symbols can be found all over Europe, especially in Celtic speaking cultures which are also of Indo-European origin, just like the Norse-Germanic tradition. We also find it on the 7th century rune stone from Tängelgårda, Gotland in Sweden. We do have archaeological evidence, though, such as from the Brompton hogback stone and it appear to be that there were two different types of a “Valknut”, such as the unicursal and the tricursal. It could derive from Old Norse “valr”, a “slain warrior”, knut for “knot) It is likely that the symbols itself was not called “Valknut” during the 8th to 11th Century Viking Age: The time when medieval Scandinavian tribes of Germanic origin went abroad to go “on a Viking”.
The word “Valknut” is a rather modern word and we lack understanding of the Proto-Germanic or Proto-Norse term for it. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let us learn about what we actually DO know about the Valknut 🙂 We are NOT those people and we do not condone the use of the Valknut as a racist symbol. But with that said, there are certain groups of people who would like to place their own false meaning on it. This Valknut was not made as a racist symbol, nor is it being sold as one.
