Amulets & Pendants

 Long before antiquity, amulets with symbols were worn, some as jewelry, but most out of a deep belief in their power. Grave finds from all over Europe attest to the most diverse forms and materials used for this purpose. Celtic and Germanic amulets were often made of horn, bronze, amber, crystal or bone. Depending on the social status, however, elaborate pieces of jewelry made of silver and gold were also crafted, as rare finds from grave goods from the entire Middle Ages prove.

What is the most famous Viking jewelry?


That is clearly the Thor's Hammer. Probably originating from Roman/Germanic thunderbolts or also known as Donar's Club, it was worn by Vikings then as now. In belief in Thor the thunder god and son of Odin, the hammer serves as his symbol and protective amulet. In general, protective amulets were popular and widespread among Vikings for almost everything. Provided with runes and symbols, the Northmen believed they could secure the protection and favor of the many gods.

What protective amulets were there in the Middle Ages?

Coming from the Arab world, the pentagram or drudenfuß was also an effective protective sign against evil influences for many in the Middle Ages. It was worn, carved, drawn or even branded. Christians, in turn, wore their cross and other Christian symbols to display their faith. Strengthened and protected by amulets like these, life was probably much more pleasant for many people in the Middle Ages.
