Hello-
I am working on a drawing for someone that wants symbols to represent birth, growth, love, honor, death and afterlife. Basically someone’s life from that time.
What symbols would represent those stages of life?
Thanks! – jOsh
I was brought into this world as a Christian, although I was never into the almighty one god whom controls almost everything. I’ve heared of other multi god religions but only the Norse Paganism actually moves me, partially because my heritage can be traced back to Viking Norway and Iceland.
I have a pendant in the shape of a shield with a spiral inlaid in the center and I woul verry mutch like to know what it means. I have been searching for hours now and have nothing to show for it other than a theory that it is a representation ofa whirlpool and means community. Please help.
Hi Nick- I’ve addressed this at some length here: http://symboldictionary.net/?page_id=3#comment-51225 The same ideas also apply to Norse symbols. The Vikings, like the Celts, really did not have a concept of nuclear families as we do today. The closest to a mother/father dynamic would be Odin and Frig. Neither Vikings nor Celts would have had symbols explicit about love (at least not generically), but emblems of gods or goddesses might suffice.

I was a Catholic for most of my life, but have converted to Norse Paganism. I have a sense of belonging and have truly found myself in this religion. I have been practicing for 7 months and am dedicated to it. I wear the Hammer of Thor, Odins Knot and a Pentacle around my neck and never take it off.
I cannot find the meaning to this symbol I found in my Norse myths book. Any ideas??

Yes- but we must appease the gods of SEO, in order for people to find what they need. And everyone searches for “Norse.”
Well i’ll be honest, History points out that Norse Mythology had quite an influence on other nations such as germany and sweden, after all, my people (Germans) were mostly barbarians and vikings at the time.
I have a symbol that i need identfied. it is a circle with a fork going thru the center of it the fork is pointing down if that means anything. it was given to me and cant find the symbol anywhere yet.
Hi Carlos, do you have a picture?
I was born and forced to be a Lutheran untill 4years ago when I was 13 I finally told people that I fallowed a different god than my family, I was drawn to Thor scense I could talk even tho I didn’t know who I was fallowing yet but then my dad told me he was interested in Asatrü and so I got books from him on it and Asatrü has fit me like my own skin. The only problem I have is I don’t know anyone around me that is Asatrü I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, MN anyone live near me? The only person I know besides me is my friend joe that I “enlightened” to Asatrü.
(:
HAIL THE ASAR GODS!!!
Thanks SymbolicDictionary.Net ! You helped with the research I’m doing for my tattoo. A full back peace of Mjolnir with my last name in Norse runes! Will send a pic when it’s done. And remember the old Norse saying HURRY TO MEET DEATH BEFORE YOUR PLACE IS TAKEN!
Simon, you’re a disgrace to true scandinavians and people who not only represent the culture/religion, but people who actually tattoo these things on their bodies not only because they want to “follow” a religion. I personally think religion itself is a joke and I would never tattoo something on my body if it wasn’t suppose to be. I suggest you get a valknot next and understand the true meaning of what it is to be a norseman.
I have been looking for a religion that i would want to be apart of so i am i Norse i wear a Mjolnir and i know almost all the prayers. I love this religion and stand strong for it and always will.
-All hail Odin
Det er veldig irriterende når folk tror de bare kan Åsatru uten skikkelig anstendig. Jeg selv er minst 50%, men jeg har ennå ikke deltatt i noen møter, men da fordi jeg bor i en veldig kristen by. Men deltar på samlinger ikke er nødvendig. Være av Norse anstendig er nødvendig.
let the world hear the words once more……
“save us lord from the wrath of the norsemen”
HAIL ODIN.
I have just discovered the religion and instantly liked it so I now wear a Mjolnir pendant, out of all religions I have encountered and read about this one “Nordic paganism” is the one for me
I found a symbol on-line but lost it. It’s the Norse symbol representing “Strength, Courage and Loyalty”. Is anyone familiar with this symbol or how I can find it? Thanks.
HAIL ODIN!!!!
I’m looking for a multi-body snake or serpent the has the meaning of eternal youth or Divine Eternal Youth. I believe it’s Norse but I could be wrong. I came accross it years ago in a book and can’t find it now. Any help would be great..Thank you
This is great Norse Mythology has been a big part of my life since age 6. I love the symbols and i’ve got tattoos of Odin’s Horn, Thunder Cross, Mjolnir, and the Wolf’s cross it was painful but worth it on my back is a tattoo of Fenrir the Wolf and I look forward to a tattoo of Thor
