Indian philosophy includes (the self or soul ( atman), works ( karma), and liberation ( moksha).
You see this illustrated not only in the Triskelion and the Norns (Fate, Being, and Necessity) but also in Greek mythology (three Fates and three Gorgons). Three is a sacred number foundthroughout history and is still believed to be very magical. You may notice the Triskelion’s similarity to the Valknut symbol and other imagery, sometimes called the Triskele or Triquetra. Due to this, the origins of the triskelion, and other symbols like it, are shrouded in a lot of mystery. Throughout Norse symbology and many other cultures throughout history, you’ll find symbols of three arranged together in a consistent pattern. The triskelion name is derived from the ancient Greek word meaning three times or three-legged. Before a Norse battle began, a spear was often thrown over the enemy as an offering to honor Odin and helped invigorate and rouse the Norse or Viking army for success in combat. Gungnir was a symbol of power, safety, strength, and skill. From the ninth century until the rise of Christianity, the depiction of Gungnir was found on ceramics and cremation urns. In ancient Norse culture, the spear became an important symbol representing Odin and was often included in artwork portrayals of him. In his spiritual journey for a deeper knowledge of the magical runes, Odin used Gungnir to stab himself as he hung from the sacred tree Yggdrasil for nine days. Once thrown, it wouldn’t stop until it reached its desired goal.
Gungnir is a weapon of immense power, inscribed with magical rune symbols on its tip to make it incredibly accurate and deadly. Blacksmith dwarves created Gungnir after Loki forced them to do so. It was believed to attract people to Odin as he summoned the fallen to Valhalla. Gungnir (pronounced Gung-neer) is Odin’s spear and means The Swaying One.
