A valknut (originally from Old Norse: valr, warrior and knot) is a symbol consisting of three interlocking triangles. The valknut appears, among other things, on image stones from Gotland and Norway. The valknot is also called: Heart of the Slain, Vala's heart, Rungner's heart or Odin's knot. The symbol can be found on rune stones that have a connection with Odin. It can be found, for example, on the Tängelgårda stone on Gotland, which dates from the 6th century, and the Rune stone in Lärbro on Stora Hammars 1. The valknot is also considered to symbolize the power of the god Odin, with which he could rule over men and either bind or loose (a man's memory) so that he was helpless in battle. He could also resolve the tensions and strains of fear through his gifts; berserk walking, drugging and inspiration. The valknut symbol is also found in the neo-pagan faith that developed from Norse mythology, especially the asatron. In these it often represents the nine worlds. This probably comes from the fact that the three triangles have nine corners. Geometrically, the symbol is equivalent either to the Borromean rings, to a closed three-linked chain or to the triquetra, All depending on how the individual artist makes his artistic presentation. The rune line that was mainly used in divination is the Old Norse 24 rune futhark which arose around 200 years after Christ. It is called futhark because the first 6 runes form the word futhark; feh, ur, thurs, ass, reid and ken. The purpose of the runes was mainly to record various things but also for divination and spells. Divination with runes is an ancient tool that has close contact with our ancestors and their traditions.
