Mjolnir (pronounced Miol-neer) is the name of Thor's (a Norse God) hammer. The hammer gave Thor extensive power and never missed it's mark. Mjolnir was forged by the dwarf, Sindri, in Svartalfheim. Thor's hammer served as a weapon of war but was also used as an instrument of blessing in births, weddings, and funerals, too. The symbol can be found on many grave stones up to 1300 AD. The Vegvisir , "That Which Shows the Way", pronounced "VEGG-vee-seer". "If this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known." Geri and Freki, ravenous and greedy in Old Norse, are wolves who reside in Valhalla with Odin. Fenrir is the son of the God Loki and the giantess Angrboda. Fenrir is the most infamous wolf in Norse mythology known for biting off the hand of the God Tyr and will break free of his tethers during Ragnarok to run wild devouring everything in his path and will even kill the God Odin before finally being put to death by one of Odin's sons.
