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. \u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the Wodan's knot is also a symbol of fate. Like the three Norns, it represents the past, the present, and the future.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e The Wodan's knot can be found on the picture stone from Stora Hammers in Gotland, Sweden.\u003cbr\u003e The depicted ship of the dead, possibly with Valkyries standing on it, carries the deceased to Valhalla.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e Furthermore, the depiction suggests the blood eagle (Blutaaer) torture and execution method.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e The name Modgudr is composed of the Old Norse noun “mord” (ecstasy \/ rage \/ enthusiasm) and the syllable gud (god).\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Many picture stones convey fragments about the religious history of Norse mythology.
