Thor was also the protector of the universe. He guarded the world with his
mighty hammer, Mjöllnir (meaning the crusher or destroyer).
His main enemy were
the giants and serpents that lurked in the underworld. The hammer hit whatever
object it was aimed at and always returned to Thor's hand. Thor also had a
magical belt named Megingiord. When worn in battle, it doubled his strength
against the enemy.
Thor's Hammer was more than a symbol of his supernatural strength. It was
used by Vikings of all walks of life as a protection amulet.
Usually made of
silver, it was worn as a necklace or pendant. Those wearing it believed it would
protect them from danger. It was especially important to Viking warriors and,
it was often given to a bride on her wedding day as a source of protection and
good luck.
