The runes are a major element in Heathenry and Asatru in particular, often used to indicate ancestry, in crafts and for ritual purposes. An oath (from Old Saxon eoth) is either a promise or a statement of fact calling upon something or someone that the oath maker considers sacred, usually a god, as a witness to the binding nature of the promise or the truth of the statement of fact. To swear is to take an oath.

Now, I have tried many types of rings from gold to silver and none last up to working in the shop. They all bend or contort or break. One of the best things about this ring is that under normal use, it will not lose its shape.

We now have the ability to make three sizes, large, average and small. Large measure 1 1/8 " in diameter; average measure 7/8" in diameter; small measures 3/4 " in diameter.

To measure for your size ring, wrap your ring finger with a piece of string and measure the string from start to end point. The string should read 2 1/4 inches for the small; 2 1/2" for the average; and 3 1/4 inches for the large.

Please let me know at the end of the sale which size you need!

These pins are perfect for use with historical reenactment, SCA events, Black Powder Rendezvous or just to accessorize your kilt at the next Highland Games, Burn's Night or New Years Ball.

This pin measures 2 1/2 inches wide by 3 inches tall. Each one is hand forged and will look similar to the one in the photo. Please write with any questions and ask about quantity sales to vendors.

These cuffs are similar to our Celtic Torcs that we have for sale in our store. The stailess used has a bit of "give" to it and each can be stretched to open and close. These cuffs are made to measure so don't forget to give us the size of your wrist. Simply take a string and wrap it around your wrist and measure where the string meets. Because each one is made specifically for you the cuff will not be made until after the sale. Please remember that these are custom made for you and not imported and sitting on a shelf waiting. Please determine your style of cuff with the scroll or squared terminal and let us know at the time of purchase your choice.

This is a hand forged from steel double bit Axe head pendant made at White Hart Forge in Oregon. It measures about 2 1/2 inches tall by 2 inches wide. Great item for Vikings, Rockers, and Timbers Fans. Each one is made by hand out of 2 pieces. The blades are not sharpened but blunt for safety.

The handle will be made, traditionally, from oak, but if I'm out of that I may have some yew wood or maple. After the forging process the hammer is cleaned of scale and faced. Then under a black heat a linseed oil and bee's wax treatment is added for protection againts rust and to create a fine patina.

This is truly Mjolnir, hammer of Thor!!! If you are looking for a hammer for your ceremonies, for bl'o't, or just to place on the alter then here you have a mighty one.

This piece is hand forged in our Smithy using the same techniques as the old Norse Blacksmiths. I have made this style of large hammer in the past for ceremonial purposes and alter use. There is only one other like this. I am now in the process of making a second based on this original. It will include runes cut into the side similar to the ones shown but at your descretion. It will also include a similar handle and troth ring. However, because these are made one at a time and hand forged there will never be two alike.

I made these ear bones or plugs to look like 3/4 curls horns of the big horn sheep.

Ancient symbol of the Norse god Thor. Thor, the strongest and most popular of the god's may have afforded protection to those wearing amulets in the form of the hammer. His famous battle hammer, Mjollnir, was a powerful weapon in the fight of the gods against the powers of evil.

I have one myself and use it to start our ceremonies like Mid Winter Nacht, Beltane and Samhaine. Imagine your friend's looks when they watch start a fire the old way.
In the book of Scandinavian Mythology by H.R. Ellis Davidson, can be found a photo of a small Thor's Hammer and ring found in Labby, Uppland, Sweden. According to Ellis Davidson, the cult of Thor was linked up with men's habitations and possessions, and with the well being of the family and the community. This included the fruitfulness of the fields, and Thor, although pictured primarily as a storm god in the myths, was also concerned with fertility and with the preservation of the seasonal round. Little stone axes and hammers used as fertility symbols were placed by the farmer in the holes made by the drill to receive the first seed of spring. Here we see Thor's marriage to Sif of the golden hair as the ancient symbol of divine marriage between the sky god and the earth goddess, when he comes to the earth as a thunderstorm bringing the rains and making the field fertile.

size = 3" tall by 2" wide by 1/4"thick. Although, as all are made by hand there will undoubtedly be variations.

For this sale I will throw in a piece of good flint, char cloth and a yard of jute for tinder so you can begin your ceremonial fires the traditional way. Written instructions are included, as well as a "How To" demo video on our vide section of the web site..

This hammer is made from mild steel and is quite hefty. It also includes a troth ring to mount to a lanyard or necklace or leather thong. This is a one of a kind Thor's hammer.

Each band is secured with a simple snap button. Each measures from about 2 - 3 inches in diameter by 3/4 to 1 inch wide. This is a standard size for a man's wrist or anything else that would be 6 to 9 inches circumference. Thanks and I am happy to answer any questions or requests.
