Fenrir

Well, let's not lie to ourselves… Fenrir is not a softie. He is a gigantic wolf (much bigger than you) with teeth so sharp they look like daggers… In short, this beautiful beast was raised in Asgard by the Aesir (the gods who live in Asgard, so they’re no fools).

By the way, Fenrir’s parents are the giantess Angrboda and Loki, whom you’ve probably heard of thanks to the Marvel movies. Loki? He’s the charismatic guy, but very… mischievous you could say. To be honest, he’s called the God of Trickery… at least you know what to expect. Anyway, back to our big wolf: Fenrir.

The deity Fenrir

With such parents… it was certain that Fenrir would join the dark side of the force. And it didn’t fail! At first, Fenrir was a tiny, cute wolf pup (well, relatively speaking)... but over time, he became increasingly aggressive towards the gods of Asgard. To such an extent that no gods approached him anymore… except Tyr — the guy is God of the sky, of just war, of justice, of victory, and of strategy (yes, all that) — to go feed him. And that’s where it gets funny…

Fenrir, a danger

As we’ve seen, the beast is quite angry (maybe even more than your mother-in-law). So the gods of Asgard thought it would be cool to tie him up… and yes, they’re not idiots, guys! They created a rope which they named Loeding to tie up our beautiful beast Fenrir… (don’t try that with your mother-in-law, okay). Now I know what you’re thinking… what kind of idea is it to name a rope? Don’t ask me, I’m as puzzled as you are. But hey, they are the gods of Asgard after all…

Anyway, the Loeding rope didn’t last long. Fenrir broke free in no time and without effort. So the gods decided to create a second rope… A rope twice as strong according to them… And of course, they gave it a little name: Dromi. (if we had to name every rope in the world… we’d never get out of this mess). But again, Fenrir the gigantic wolf broke the rope and easily freed himself from its grip.

Seeing this, the gods of Asgard thought that, after all, they weren’t very good at making ropes and tying up a furious wolf who’s dying to kill them. So they called upon…

The dark elves

So the gods of Asgard sent them a message in the name of Skirnir (always simple names, that’s nice). The messenger had to ask the elves to make a rope that NO THING AND NO ONE could break… yep! Nothing less. The elves complied… and they made a rope called Gleipnir (nope, don’t try to pronounce it).

But wait, in my opinion the most incredible thing is not the strength of this rope… but its recipe! It’s not a rope made of stainless steel strands or anything like that… no, far from it. I’m going to tell you the 6 ingredients it’s made of… but I’m afraid you won’t believe me. Just know that I’m not joking… anyway, here are the 6 ingredients:

• A woman’s beard (yes, I promise)
• The sound of cat’s footsteps (seriously?)
• Mountain roots (good luck finding those)
• Bear sinews (poor bears)
• Fish breath (that must sting)
• And bird spit (no comment)

Yep, I told you. Apparently, the dark elves aren’t very good at cooking recipes. But hey, the important thing is the result, right? Is the rope strong enough to contain the rage of the gigantic beast Fenrir? And the answer is yes. The rope holds Fenrir… until Ragnarök (that’s the apocalypse for the Vikings) when he will break free, swallow the sun, and kill Odin. Yep, that big wolf is seriously badass. So maybe you’re asking yourself this question:

Why didn’t the gods kill Fenrir?

It’s true, after all… why not just kill the beast right away? That would have saved everyone a lot of time and we would have gotten rid of it for good… Especially knowing that in the end, it will break free during Ragnarök and cause chaos in Asgard and the other worlds. And the gods’ answer to this question is: “We did not want to stain Asgard with the blood of this beast”

Well yeah, blood stains and it’s super hard to clean… you have to understand them too! So there you have it. This is the story of Fenrir, a majestic, strong, powerful, badass wolf feared by all. Now, I’d like to tell you about 3 Fenrir-related jewelry pieces you can find with us.

Presentation of 3 Fenrir jewelry pieces

I think you’ve got it… Fenrir is not the cute thing that crumbles in front of its opponents. He’s really the beast that imposes itself and fears no one (not even the gods of Asgard, that says a lot)… and it’s this spirit we want to convey in the bracelets I’m going to show you.

Viking Bracelet – Fenrir Head – Stainless Steel

When people see you wearing this bracelet with two Fenrir heads… they’ll take you seriously. They know you’re not a clown to mess with. Plus, the bracelet is made of stainless steel. Now I know you’re not a blacksmith, so what does stainless steel mean? It means it’s damn solid. Like, it’s not some trinket you buy at a flea market that breaks two days later because you moved it… No, this new Fenrir Head bracelet will accompany you everywhere without ever letting go.

Our Fenrir accessories like the Fenrir t-shirt

Okay, I admit. I have a crush on this model. It’s a very comfortable and soft t-shirt with the Fenrir logo printed over the heart. It’s a unique logo created by the graphic designer of Odin's Hall! Watch out… you always keep the barbarian Viking look!

But what’s cool is that you can wear it with anything… like a bear skin sweater and spider web pants, that looks really good. You can choose the color you prefer! So it’s up to you to choose!

Viking Necklace – Thor’s symbol – Fenrir wolf

When you wear this necklace around your neck? Wow, it looks awesome, no lie. You’ll surely recognize the two heads of the Fenrir wolf holding the pendant (it looks really badass). And of course, you can choose the chain length according to your preferences… So what are you waiting for?

To finish…

Clearly, a piece of jewelry featuring Fenrir is NOT for everyone. If you’re the kind of guy who picks flowers on weekends, only eats soy seeds, and wears a pink tutu… then this is not for you (like really, don’t try). On the other hand, if you’re a man who’s not afraid to own his masculinity (and a bit rough around the edges)... then this will suit you perfectly.

It will add a badass edge to your style… and I’m sure even the Vikings and the gods of Asgard will respect you with a piece of jewelry featuring Fenrir. So what are you waiting for? Order the jewelry that makes your Viking heart beat!
