About the Valknut:
The ancient arcane symbol comprised of a triad of interlocking triangles has no firm historical context, though some scholars point to the 9th century Snoldelev Stone as a likely source for the design. On this stone, a conjoined trio of Viking-era drinking horns is featured, along with runes composed in the Younger Futhark alphabet. Other researchers consider it to be a variant of the Triskelion, while still others relate it to Odin. As a symbol of Odin’s power on earth, the Valknut may represent a binding rune or ritual used shortly before or after death in battle.
