The Norse gods did not entirely disappear when Christianity arrived. They went into the calendar, and English speakers have been repeating them ever since.
Tuesday is Tiw's day, the Anglo-Saxon form of Tyr, the god who lost his hand to Fenrir. Wednesday is Woden's day, Odin. Thursday is Thor's. Friday is Frigg's.
Four days out of seven, said without a thought by people who have no idea they are doing it. The Romans supplied the other three and the Sun and Moon took two of those.
Missionaries renamed festivals, rededicated temples and rewrote a good deal. Nobody managed to rename the days of the week, because a calendar is too useful to argue with.
So the hammer on this pendant belongs to a god whose name is in every diary and every phone.
A wolf head is worked into each corner of the hammer head, facing outward, with a valknut between them and interlaced knotwork running along the bar and down the shaft.
Stainless steel in a silver tone, so it takes daily wear, sweat and showering without tarnishing or needing polish.
Our article on Fenrir and the Norse wolves covers Tyr's part in it. See the wolf jewelry range.
