The couple will leave the tree to bring life back again to the world.Although the tree in question is not mentioned specifically or Yggdrasil is not clearly associated with the myth, it is believed by some to be the tree that will protect life from Ragnarok.The next one in our extensive list of Viking symbols is Aegishjalmr. Huginn and Muninn are a pair of ravens that served Odin the Allfather as his messengers.

Gungnir is the name given to the magical spear of Odin forged by the dwarves, the most talented blacksmiths in the cosmos.According to the myth, Odin started the war between the two groups of gods in Norse mythology, Aesir and Vanir, by hurling Gungnir over his enemies.This gesture was later repeated by Viking warriors before battle in hopes of getting Odin’s protection and aid during the fight.Gungnir never missed its target and according to some stories, it came back to Odin just like Mjölnir coming back to Thor every time it is thrown by the God of Thunder.In the sense of representing him as the God of War, Gungnir is considered as a symbol of Odin.The last item in our list of Viking symbols is a much less popular one, one that many people probably did not know existed; the Troll Cross. This is the Rune of Protection or Aegishjalmar, which means "Helm Of Awe". In fact, the Swastika was believed to be the most significant good luck symbol/charm by some people.It was believed to bring a person in a desperate, chaotic state to a one that is of strength, prosperity and order.The next item on our list is Svefnthorn, one of the most authentic Viking symbols which was mentioned many times in several Norse sagas including The Saga of the Volsungs, The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki and Gongu-Hrolf’s Saga.Although the appearance, definition and magical qualities of Svefnthorn is somewhat different in every myth, there is one thing in common in all stories: Svefnthorn was mainly used to put one’s enemies to sleep.The symbol was used by Norse people (and gods) to put their adversaries into a deep and long sleep.Odin puts Valkyrie Brynhildr/Brunhild into a deep sleep in The Saga of the Volsungs. Meaning: protection from enemies, defense of that which one loves. Phoneme: Z.
