Warning! These Thor's Hammers have been extremely popular as a Child's gift during Asatru Naming Rites. While these small Thor's Hammers make a great keepsake gift for a child, use common sense when the child is wearing it! Do not leave a baby or toddler unattended with it on! It is small and presents a choking hazard; as does the cord or chain it may be on. Though remote, there is also the possibility that the stone could get dislodged from its setting and a baby could choke.

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 in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of leveling mountains.

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

Triquetra:

The triquetra has been found on runestones in Northern Europe and on early Germanic coins. It presumably had pagan religious meaning and it bears a resemblance to the Valknut, a symbol associated with Odin.

Germanic Neopagan groups who use the triquetra to symbolize their faith generally believe it is originally of Norse and Germanic origins. Due to its presence in insular Celtic art, Celtic Re-constructionist Pagans use the triquetra either to represent one of the various triplicities in their cosmology and theology (such as the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea and Sky), or as a symbol of one of the specific triple Goddesses, for example, The Morrígan.

August Birthstone: Peridot

Peridot is the traditional birthstones for August. Found in both early Greek and early Roman jewelry, peridot has been popular since 1500 BC when the Egyptians started mining it. The Egyptians called the lustrous stone the "gem of the sun" and believed it had the power to ward off anxiety, enhance speech, and foster success in relationships and marriage.
