Valknut – Viking Symbol of Three Interlocking Triangles

Above – Two main formations of Valknut can be seen in History : either as Borromean (to the right), or unicursal (to the left)

The Valknut is a powerful old Norse viking occult symbol represented by the three interlocking triangles. In many images it can be seen as a representation of Odin and the afterlife. While the exact meaning of Valknut is unsure it is believed and indicated to symbolise the connectedness of the nine worlds represented in the vikings world.

Another belief for the Valknut symbol meaning was as a aid for reincarnation, cyclical relationships and in talismans to ward against evil.
