Wodan's Knot pendant, stainless steel

The three interlocking triangles of Wotan's knot symbolize the structure of the Germanic cosmos. The triangles embody the three realms of Asgard (world of the gods), Midgard (world of humans), and Utgard (underworld). The nine points represent the nine worlds: Asgard, Midgard, Hel, Jötunheim, Lichtalfheim, Muspelheim, Wannaheim, Swartalfheim, and Niflheim.
Furthermore, the Wodan's knot is also a symbol of fate. Like the three Norns, it represents the past, the present, and the future.
Historically, the Wodan knot is documented, for example, by the picture stone from Tängelgårda dating from the 7th century. Furthermore, the Wodan knot is also depicted on the Stora Hammar runestone.

The Wodan's knot can be found on the picture stone from Stora Hammers in Gotland, Sweden.
The depicted ship of the dead, possibly with Valkyries standing on it, carries the deceased to Valhalla.
Furthermore, the depiction suggests the blood eagle (Blutaaer) torture and execution method.
It is partly disputed whether this type of execution existed, or whether this type of torture is an invention of imaginative Christian minds to portray the Vikings as brutal, bloodthirsty beasts, or whether this type of torture really existed with the help of psychoactive herbs, mushrooms and narcotics.

The guardian of the Gjöll River (River of Death) is Modgudr; she stands on the Gjallarbrú bridge of the underworld, which leads to the realm of the dead, Hel.
The name Modgudr is composed of the Old Norse noun “mord” (ecstasy / rage / enthusiasm) and the syllable gud (god).
Modgudr is thus a goddess of ecstasy, just as Odin is the god of the dead and of ecstasy. The ferryman on the river could also be Odin, as a companion on the journey to the afterlife.

Many picture stones convey fragments about the religious history of Norse mythology. It will certainly take decades of scholarly work, if it is even possible, to gain a clear picture of everything.
The Midgard Serpent "Jörmungandr", known from the Edda: Thor's Fishing Expedition. Thor lured the Midgard Serpent with an ox head.
Just as he is about to smash them with his hammer, the frightened giant Hymir cuts the rope.
