Thor, A Norse God, created
thunder by striking his great hammer Mjollnir.
He protected the house of
the Gods and humankind. The runes around the base are an invocation
of Thor's
protection and reads:
"Thor's thunder strike and
hallowed hold us with Mjollinir's might."
The scene on the back depicts
a battle between Thor and Ior, the World Serpent. An ox head was
used as bait, and the struggle
became so intense that Thor's
feet crashed through the bottom of the boat and he used the sea bed for
support.

Odin is known as the Norse
All-Father. He sits astride his 8-legged horse, Sleipnir, who carries
souls to the unseen realms.
The spear is named Gar and
when thrown would always return. Through ritual self-sacrifice, Odin
discovered the
Runes while hanging from the
Yggdrasill, or world tree. A patron of the warriors, he was skilled
in magic
and a master of primal forces.
Known as the One-eyed God, Odin sacrificed his eye to gain wisdom from
the fountain of Mimir.
