Comprised of three interlocking triangles the Valknut (pronounced VAL-knoot) is a symbol that appears in connection with Norse Mythology. Valknut is a modern Norwegian compound word that means “knot of those fallen in battle”. Not much is known about this enigmatic symbol but it is assumed that the meaning has much to do with death, the transition from life to death (and probably back again), Odin, and the power to bind and unbind.
