Something I don't understand about symbols

A a side note, Mjollnir is actually (upg) one of the safer symbols for AsatruaR, Norse pagans, etc... because Thor was tasked with protecting humanity as part of his mandate, and so he's disinclined to hurt you even if you don't believe in him. I have found him astonishingly forgiving.

Interesting. The flip side of that from my experience is that if you still pledge yourself by marking, you're still inviting yourself to be acted upon if he needs to protect humanity from you. wink [/uote]
*grins* Yes, that would be his tendency, I think.

The valknut on the other hand.... one Odinsson I know referred to his valknut tattoo as "insert spear here".

I like.

Do you wear the one I gave you?

All the time. I wore it when I officiated at my Mom and Step-Dad's wedding, even. And Odin sits by my door and gets regular attention.

I figure, since he can be a bit of a hot head, that his wrath directed at someone who infringed upon his honor in name might be nasty.

In all of my experiences with him he's been incredibly sweet and gentle, but he is known to use his hammer without regret. I'm just as glad it's not been aimed in my direction, though.

I've not been comfortable around him. I exchanged a bottle for a favor once, but that was about it.
