Gungnir – The Spear of Odin
Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, was revered as the god of wisdom, war, and magic. To gain unparalleled knowledge, he sacrificed an eye at Mimir’s Well and hung from Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life, for nine days and nights, unlocking the secrets of the runes. Gungnir, his legendary spear, was said to never miss its target, embodying precision, power, and divine authority. This silver collectible reimagines Odin’s spear with intricate craftsmanship, honoring his mythological presence and the symbols tied to his legend.
The spearhead features Yggdrasil, signifying the cosmic order Odin governs. Below, Odin’s helmet bears the Valknut, a mark of fallen warriors, flanked by his ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who represent thought and memory. Along the spear’s shaft, ODIN (ᛟᛞᛁᚾ) and GUNGNIR (ᚼᚢᚭᚼᚭᚣ) are engraved in Norse runes, reinforcing its legendary might, while the back of the handle bears the combined runes ᚷ and ᛜ, further linked to the power of Gungnir.
At the spear’s base, Odin’s eight-legged steed, Sleipnir, charges forward alongside his wolves, Geri and Freki, symbolizing strength and loyalty. The Triple Horn of Odin, representing wisdom and poetic inspiration, and The Helm of Awe, a rune of protection and victory, complete the design. The entire piece is adorned with Norse motifs and patterns, fully integrating every element of Odin’s mythos into a striking tribute.
