Valknut & Ravens Necklace — The Knot of Love,
Loyalty, and Norse Wisdom
At the heart of this necklace lies the Valknut, an ancient Norse sign of three interwoven triangles. Its
name comes from the Old Norse words valr — the slain, and knut — knot. Long carved beside Odin,
the Allfather, on runestones and sacred carvings, the Valknut carries deep meaning as a symbol of life,
death, and the eternal cycle. Yet the Valknut is more than a Viking emblem of passage. Its interlocking
form also carries an emotional and human meaning: the knot of love, loyalty, and unity. The threefold
design is often seen as a bond that connects not only past, present, and future, but also souls, lovers,
friends, and families — those whose ties cannot be broken, even by distance or time. Many wear the
Valknut to honor relationships that endure through hardship, a reminder of lasting love and devotion.
Above the sacred knot watch Odin’s ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory). In the old sagas,
they flew across the worlds, bringing back stories and wisdom. Here, they are guardians of
remembrance, reminding us that true love lives not only in the present moment, but also in memory,
story, and the heart’s devotion. The necklace is adorned with citrine for joy and clarity, black onyx for
protection, and pyrite for grounding strength. These stones amplify the blessing of the pendant,
carrying warmth, resilience, and balance. This is more than jewelry — it is a Norse-inspired amulet of
love, memory, and protection. It honors the bonds that endure, the wisdom that guides us, and the
heart that remembers.
