The Viking knotwork that enclosed the valknut symbolises basic tenants of life, mankind and spirituality, eternity and interconnectedness, the interdependent nature and complexity of life.

The central triangles are called The Valknut, the knot of the fallen a scared symbol to Odin, King of the Nordic Gods.

This magical knot was self carved into breasts of wounded Viking warriors so their souls would be carried, by the Valkyries to Valhalla, the heavenly meeting hall where the heroes would feast with their Gods forever.

The 9 lines of the triangles symbolise the 9 worlds of the Norse tradition, the power of three times three.

As a protector symbol, it invokes the power of eternal unity; one world cannot exist without one another. There has to remain a healthy balance between good and evil at all times. Odin's knot symbolises that which inspirits and unites all things; a dynamic whole and energy within matter.
