Mjöllnir is the name given to the thunder god Thor's incredible hammer. Thor is one of the most revered gods in Viking culture. He was especially respected by men and warriors.
This very powerful and courageous God was then the symbol of strength and protection for the Nordics. Thus, among the most famous Viking symbols, we find Thor's hammer also known as Mjöllnir.
Mjöllnir is the mighty enchanted hammer historically wielded by the God of Thunder, the son of Odin called Thor Odinson. The legends claim that it is the strongest God after his father who is the father of all the Gods of Asgard. The God of Thunder has many, many characteristics. Viking stories tell that he has an unbeatable and inexhaustible strength. For the Norse people, Thor symbolizes victory, strength and agility. The God Thor is called by several names: God of thunder, God of the storm, powerful protector, noisy horseman, noisy God of the storm or even protector of the sanctuary.
As he brings rain, this mighty son of Odin is therefore considered a Norse fertility deity. Apart from this power, the God of Thunder can also calm storms or, on the contrary, amplify them if that is what he wishes. Legends say that he had a handsome face adorned with a long red beard and red eyebrows. His very powerful voice could drown out the uproar when he fought. A tireless and noble warrior with a pure heart, Thor was arguably the Giants' greatest enemy.He wielded his incredible hammer which possessed an absolutely phenomenal and unique destructive capacity in the world.
Mjöllnir, the fabulous hammer of Thor was forged by the dwarf brothers Brokk and Eitri. The latter made the head of the hammer with a gray metal that only exists in the dimension of Asgard, the uru. Mjöllnir's head closely resembles stone, and it is particularly susceptible to magic. The handle of this powerful weapon is relatively short and ends at the end with a strap, in order to secure the hold in the hand of the hammer. On the etymological side, the word Mjöllnir means "the Grinder". On one side of the hammer, one can find the legendary inscription "Whoever holds this hammer, if he is worthy, will receive the power of Thor." »

All the Viking Gods then decide that Mjöllnir is the most fabulous object of the nine worlds. But this weapon is not perfect. It has one flaw: its handle was much too short than those of other hammers. To defend himself from this error, the dwarf replied that a fly distracted him during the creation of the hammer by pricking his eye, which is why the handle of Thor's hammer became short.

This hammer has such extraordinary power that it is impossible to use it without wearing the iron gloves called "Járngreip" and the divine belt called "megingjord".
Representing destruction, fertility and reincarnation, Thor's hammer not only provides protection for humans, but also for the protection of the Gods against their enemies, especially giants. The Mjöllnir not only symbolized the destructive power of storm and thunder, it also symbolized powerful protection against evil forces and violence. Norse legends claim that without this weapon, Asgard could no longer be safe from the giants, the greatest enemies of the Gods.

The Mjöllnir symbolizes for the Vikings the divine creative and ordering power that reigned over their worlds. Thor's hammer was considered a sacred instrument of blessing, consecration and protection for men and Aesir. The Scandinavians of Thor's time believed that this weapon could offer a real blessing to couples. He also represented for them protection, fidelity and fertility.

Mjöllnir has been used as an instrument of blessing during important rituals like births, weddings and sometimes even funerals.
Mjöllnir still remains the most powerful and destructive weapon of the 9 Viking kingdoms. The powers of Mjöllnir were increased tenfold by the great god Odin after it was made. Crafted from a magical metal capable of retaining enchantments, the indestructible hammer was given a few extra powers by the ruler of Asgard.

First of all, the Mjöllnir can only have one lord at a time. And no one else in the universe, no matter what, could lift it off the ground and use it without being worthy of it. Next, this weapon has the magical enchantment that instantly returns it to Thor's hands after hitting and crushing his opponent. As a third power, this hammer allows its master to invoke the force of the elements of nature and call them to liberation. Thor can control, thanks to Mjöllnir, the storm, the storm and the lightning. The fourth enchantment offered by Odin grants the Mjöllnir the power to open up other universes and other dimensions, allowing it to serve as a transport from Midgard to Asgard.

The last power of Mjöllnir allows the God of Thunder to transform at will into Don Blake, his earthly avatar represented in the Marvel comics. With a single stroke of his cane hitting the ground, he can transform back into the God Thor. These five great powers are unique to Thor's hammer, and they are what make him the strongest weapon of the nine Viking kingdoms. All the Gods recognize this incomparable power of Mjöllnir, and its reputation has spread in the world of the Gods, in the world of men and even in the world of monsters.
