Valknut – History and Meaning

The Valknut, the three interwoven triangles, is one of the most enigmatic and powerful symbols in Norse mythology.
The name comes from Old Norse: valr means “the fallen,” and knut means “knot.”
Literally, Valknut means “the knot of the fallen,” pointing to its deep connection with battle, death, and the journey to the afterlife.

Archaeological Evidence

Depictions of the symbol appear on many rune stones and grave finds from the Viking Age, including the famous Stora Hammars stone on Gotland.
There, the Valknut often appears alongside Odin, the god of war, wisdom, and magic.
These discoveries suggest that the Valknut functioned as a sacred protective sign for warriors and as a symbol of the transition between life and death.

Connection to Odin

In the sagas, Odin is called “the lord of the slain,” the one who leads fallen warriors to Valhalla.
The Valknut symbolizes Odin’s power to bind or release souls and his ability to move between worlds.
It therefore represents the soul’s journey from the mortal realm to the spiritual plane.

The Meaning of the Three Triangles

The three interconnected triangles can be interpreted in several ways:

As past, present, and future — the eternal flow of time

As life, death, and rebirth — a reminder of existence’s endless cycle

By some, as the three worlds: Asgard, Midgard, and Hel

For the Vikings

For Viking Age warriors, the Valknut was a sign of courage and devotion.
It was carved into swords, shields, and amulets to show readiness to face fate and to seek Odin’s protection in battle.
It was less a decorative motif and more a spiritual vow to meet death without fear.

In Modern Times

Today, the Valknut is appreciated worldwide — not only by followers of Norse spirituality, but also by people who wish to express strength, destiny, and inner freedom.
The symbol stands for the courage to follow one’s own path, the connection between this world and the next, and the belief that every phase of life is part of a greater whole.
