The hammer of Thor, the Norse god associated with thunder, lightning, and the protection of mankind. Mjolnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome and powerful weapons in existence, capable of leveling mountains with a single blow and yet precise enough to be worn as an amulet. Forged by the dwarf smiths Brokkr and Eitri as part of a wager with Loki, the hammer has a slightly short handle due to Loki's interference during the forging process, but this minor imperfection does nothing to diminish its devastating power. When thrown, Mjolnir always returns to Thor's hand like a boomerang, and it can be used to bless marriages, consecrate oaths, and resurrect the dead. The hammer became the most important religious symbol in pre-Christian Scandinavia, and miniature Thor's hammers were worn as pendants by Norse pagans as symbols of protection and allegiance to the old gods.
