Mjolnir is the most fearsome weapon in the arsenal of the Norse pantheon, used to slay any challengers to Æsir supremacy. While referred to as a club, an ax, and a hammer, Mjolnir was thought to be capable of toppling giants and entire mountains with a single blow. Legend surrounding the war hammer’s origins vary: some relate that 'The Black Elves', or dwarves, Sindri and Brokk made it at the behest of the calculating Loki; other tales contend that it descended to earth as a meteorite. Consequently, many Norse pagans believed that lightning strikes where either a manifestation or metaphor of Mjolnir exists on earth.
In keeping with Norse pre-Christian traditions, Mjolnir symbolizes regeneration, and not merely destruction. Viking brutality unleashed over several centuries demonstrated that these concepts were closely interwoven; Medieval Viking life hinged on fomenting mayhem. As for Norse myth, evocative allusions depict Mjolnir strengthening both male virility and female fertility. As the Norse gods were often only as powerful as the tools and weapons they possessed, Mjolnir is a pivotal archetype for the survival and perpetuation of the Norsemen and their customs. In its mythic context, one can conclude that without Mjolnir, Thor’s ability to maintain the cosmic equilibrium would be imperiled by giants, the sea-dwelling world serpent, and possibly, even reckless gods.
Mjolnir is often represented with a bent handle (see the myth below). The rune Tiwaz, usually thought to be a symbol of the god Tyr, is thought by some to represent Thor's hammer. Mjollnir may also mean fertility, the phallus that impregnates the earth.
Even if Thor's Hammer is like a "boomerang" there are few times that the god throws it at his enemies. Usually, he used it as normal warhammer. There may be a connection between Thor's thrown hammer and the francisca throwing axes of the Franks.
