This two-sided Thorshammer is inspired by the inscription of the "Velanda Runestone (swedish: Velandasten)". On both sides of the hammer you will find written in runes of the younger futhark "þur : uiki", which means something like "may Þórr hallow". On one side they appear as a relief and on the other side they are carved, so both aspects of the energy, positive and negative, can be called.
Transliteration of the runes on the stone into Latin characters

Transcription into Old Norse

Translation in English

Mjölnir, The hammer of Thor or The Thor's Hammer is one of the most known ancient Norse symbols. Many miniature Thor's Hammers were found in many regions of Scandinavia in many different shapes or styles - often used as religious amulets. Thor is the god of thunder and his hammer (also called Mjölnir) has the power of lightning, so it will give you strenght and protect you.
