Pendant in the shape of a wolf skull.
This striking pendant is designed in the shape of a wolf skull and reflects the veneration of wolves in Nordic culture.
This wolf skull pendant is based on historical sources from
Northern Europe and Celtic regions. The wolf held a special place in many pre-Christian societies: as a wild animal living on the edge of human settlements, it embodied strength, endurance and social order, but also proximity to untamed nature.
The wolf head pendant picks up on the symbolism of
pagan thinking in a clear, reduced form, symbolising the close relationship between pre-Christian societies and their environment.
A timeless piece of history for people interested in
archaeology, paganism and traditional symbolic language.
The wolf skull pendant
measures 3 x 1.7 x 0.9 cm.
You can purchase the pendant in high-quality
bronze or in genuine
silver-plated.
Alternatively, you can also order it in 925
sterling silver (please note delivery time).

For the Germanic tribes, the wolf was particularly warlike and mythically charged. The wolf was considered a symbol of the warrior: wild, fearless, untamed.
Berserkers and Ulfhednar (warriors in wolf skins) believed that they took on the strength and fury of the wolf in battle.
The Germanic tribes regarded wolves as companions of the fallen on the battlefield, and
Odin (Wotan) was accompanied by two wolves, Geri ("the greedy") and Freki ("the voracious"), who embodied battle, death and insatiable hunger.
Among the Celts, the wolf had a nature-loving, partly
protective role. It was considered the guardian of the forests and a guide between worlds, and was connected to the otherworld – the realm of gods and ancestors. Goddesses such as Morrígan or regional mother goddesses were associated with wolves.
