TrueBlood on HBO. at www.hbo.com/trueblood/season2. Ok so I love the series. LOVE IT! But only a crazy jewelry people will cut thru all the vampires, blood sucking and sex to use Tivo to pause and rewind to see a piece of jewelry that vampire was wearing. Hmmm still 2 obsessions in one!
I had to pause and see what was around the character Godic’s neck. After a little research it was design based on hammers on the island of Bornholm. Called “Thor’s Hammer” This one show here was designed by Janet Cadsawan for the TrueBlood series. Kind of cool. I think I might take a crack at designing my own version of “Thor’s Hammer”. If you do a quick search on google you’ll find a TON of designs based on this theme. Plus information on the legend of Thors Hammer.
Thor’s Hammer pendants were very common during the Viking Age. Thor was one of the most popular of the gods. Many stories tell of one giant or another trying to bring down the gods and Thor ultimately stops him. This makes Thor the protector of the gods and mortals alike. His most prized possession was his mighty hammer Mjolnir. When thrown at a target Mjolnir would magically return to him. It is Thor’s powerful hammer that becomes the symbol of Thor and is worn as a symbol of protection.
