Without a doubt, the Valknut is one of the most prominent and popular Viking symbols.

Also known as Odin's knot, Hungnir's heart, the knwo of the slain warrior and the Heart of Vala, the Valknut is considered as the symbol of Odin.

The word 'valknut' is derived from two different words: 'valr' meaning slain warrior and 'knut' meaning not. According to Norse faith, in Valhalla (the Hall of the Slain), Odin, the god of death and war in Norse mythology, would welcome the warriors slain/killed in battle.

In addition to that, Odin figures as well as drawings of animals closely associated with him were discovered in many Viking tombs with the Valknut drawn or placed right next to them. These are the two main reasons why the Valknut is considered the symbol of Odin.

The nine corners of three triangles comprising the Valknut is also associated with the nine worlds in Norse mythology and the cycle of life through motherhood and pregnancy.
