Mjolnir The Hammer of Thor

In Norse mythology, Mjolnir is the name of the hammer carried by the Thunder God Thor. Distinctively shaped, Mjöllnir is depicted as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of leveling mountains.

Thor's Hammers were widely worn as amulets in the Viking era. Today they are worn by practitioners of Germanic Neopaganism worldwide as a symbol of their faith.

April Birthstone: Diamond

Diamond is the April birthstone. Known as one of the hardest substances on earth, diamonds are thought to be billions of years old . The word diamond derives from an ancient Greek word, "adamas", meaning invincible.

Evidence of diamond cutting was found in Venice dating back to the 1330s. Once eastern trade routes opened, Europeans began trading diamonds in the early 15th century.

Ancient Greeks had several theories about the origin of these gemstones. They believed they were tears of the gods, splinters of stars, or crystallized lightning.

During the middle ages, diamonds were thought to heal illness, especially problems relating to brain disease.
