Image Thor und Hrungnir.jpg right thumb 300px Thor slays Hrungnir, illustration by Ludwig Pietsch 1865 Hrungnir Old Norse brawler ref name ORCHARD91 Orchard 1997 91 . ref was a j tunn in Norse mythology , slain by the god Thor with his hammer Mj lnir . The account is documented in the Sk ldskaparm l , in the Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson . Prior to his demise, Hrungnir engaged in a wager with Odin in which Odin stakes his head on his horse, Sleipnir , being faster than Hrungnir s steed Gullfaxi . During the race, which Sleipnir wins, Hrungnir enters Valhalla , and there becomes drunk and abusive. After they grow weary of him, the gods call on Thor to battle Hrungnir. The fighting and the enchantment afterwards Thor and his servant Thjalfi challenge the giant, who hurls his whetstone weapon at Thor. Smashed to smithereens by Thor s hammer Mj lnir , fragments of the whetstone fall down to earth, while one shard sinks deep into the god s forehead. Nevertheless, the hammer strikes Hrungnir dead, shattering his skull but in his fall, Hrugnir s dead body topples over Thor, leaving the god buried under one of his legs. When both Thjalfi and the combined strength of the Aesir fail at pushing and pulling the giant s foot off Thor s throat, Magni , Thor s infant son with the giantess Jarnsaxa , passes by and easily lifts the foot, rebuking his father for his weakness. Back in Asgard , the sorceress Groa is called upon to remove Hrungnir s whetstone from Thor s forehead. As her enchantments are beginning to show an effect, gradually loosening the stone, Thor promises to generously reward her for her services, mentioning that he had recently helped her husband Aurvandil cross the icy river Eliwagar and that it would not be long for her to be reunited with him. Rejoicing at these news, Groa, in her excitement, forgets all about her chants, thus leaving the whetstone locked in Thor s forehead.

Refimprove date March 2010 File Triquetra Vesica.svg right thumb Interlaced triquetra Triquetra pron en tra kw tr is a noun derived from the Latin tri three and quetrus cornered . Its original meaning was simply triangle and it has been used to refer to various three cornered shapes. Nowadays, it has come to refer exclusively to a particular more complicated shape formed of three Vesica piscis vesicae piscis , sometimes with an added circle in or around it. This has been used as a religious symbol of things and persons that are threefold. Ancient usage Germanic paganism The triquetra has been found on runestone s in Northern Europe and on early Germanic peoples Germanic coins. It presumably had Germanic paganism pagan religious meaning and it bears a resemblance to the Valknut , a symbol associated with Odin . Celtic art The triquetra is often found in Insular art , most notably metal work and in illuminated manuscript s like the Book of Kells . It is also found in similar artwork on Celtic crosses and slabs from the early Christian period. The fact that the triquetra rarely stood alone in medieval Celtic art has cast reasonable doubt on its use as a primary symbol of belief. In manuscripts it was used primarily as a space filler or ornament in much more complex compositions, and in knotwork panels it is a design motif integrated with other design elements. Celtic art lives on as both a living folk art tradition and through several revivals. This widely recognized knot has been used as a singular symbol for the past two centuries by Celtic Christians, Pagans and agnostics as a sign of special things and persons that are threefold. ref In Search of Meaning, Dalriada Magazine 2001, http www.celtarts.com in search of meaning.htm ref Christian use The symbol has been used by Christianity Christians as a sign of the Trinity God the Father Father , Jesus Christ Son and Holy Spirit , especially since the Celtic Revival of the 19th century.

File Valknut Symbol triquetra.svg thumb 200px The Valknut symbol. lang is satr from Icelandic language Icelandic for sir faith , pronounced IPA is au satru , in Old Norse IPA non a satru in the United States is a form of Germanic Neopaganism , in particular inspired by the Norse paganism as described in the Edda s and as practiced prior to the Christianization of Scandinavia . There are three national organizations of Nordic Paganism in the United States, satr Alliance , satr Folk Assembly and The Troth , besides numerous smaller or regional associations. Historically, the main dispute between these has generally centered on the interpretation of Nordic heritage as either something cultural, or as something genetic or racial metagenetic . In the internal discourse within American Asatru, this cultural racial divide has long been known as universalist vs. folkish Asatru. ref Strmiska and Sigurvinsson 2005 , pp. 134f. ref The Troth takes the universalist position, claiming Asatru as a synonym for Northern European Heathenry taken to comprise many variations, names, and practices, including Theodism , Irminism, Odinism, and Anglo Saxon Heathenry . In the Neopaganism in the UK UK , Germanic Neopaganism is more commonly known as Odinism or as Heathenry . This is mostly a matter of terminology, and US Asatru may be equated with UK Odinism for practical purposes, as is evident in the short lived International Asatru Odinic Alliance of folkish Asatru Odinist groups. Terminology lang is satr is an Icelandic language Icelandic and equivalently Old Norse term consisting of two parts.
