What are facts about Thor's Hammer?

Answer 1

Thor's hammer's name was Mjollnir, which means "Crusher" or "Destroyer". Thor could throw it at any desired object, hit it, and then Mjollnir would return to him instantly. He put Mjollnir in his belt, named Megingiord, which doubled his strength in his battles.

Mjolnir was made in a contest by dwarves who had bet their heads against Loki to see could make the best magical items. Loki pestered the bellow handler (as a biting fly) when the dwarves were working to make sure their items were marred. The bellow-handler endured all Loki's attempts until Mjolnir was being formed. Loki bit him right between the eyes and he paused to wipe away the blood. As a consequence Mjolnir has a short handle.

The Thor's hammer pendants worn by the Old Norse and modern day Asatru is also a phallus symbol, symbolizing fertility and strength. It is customary to lay a ritual hammer between the legs of a newly wed Bridge for the fertility symbolism, and Thor, with his hammer, was able to bless, sanctify, and bring back to life his dead goats.
