In Old Norse, the Thor's hammer was also called Mjölnir, which can be translated as crusher or lightning. The Thor's hammer was the magical war hammer of the Norse god Thor, with which he defeated his enemies, above all the so-called giants and, at the end of the world, the Midgard Serpent. The hammer returned to the god's hand after each throw.
In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Thor's hammer was very widespread in the north as a counter-model to the Christian cross, in order to visibly distinguish oneself as a pagan from the strengthening Christianity.
