Description
As there is virtually no archaeological evidence for its roots, there are many speculations and uncertainties as to whether it is an actual genuine symbol from the Viking Age/Middle Ages or not.
The troll cross presumably dates back to an old folk custom that is widespread in much of Scandinavia. Iron troll crosses are said to have been placed over front doors, windows, and barn doors to protect people, livestock, and houses from cunning trolls, evil magic, ghosts, and ghosts. diseases and all kinds of dangers. Due to its shape, the troll cross is sometimes associated with the rune Odal or Othala from the Elder Futhark (older runic alphabet), meaning heritage and inheritance/inheritance, but here again there are no documented and verifiable sources for this assumption.
Although the troll cross is obviously based on a tradition or popular belief, its shape as we know it today (circular, crossed at the bottom) as well as its use as a pendant or lucky charm / talisman are quite contemporary. It wasn't until the late 1990s that a Swedish blacksmith designed a pendant in this particular shape, which quickly gained great popularity. Today, the Iron Troll Cross is a popular protective amulet among the Neopagan Germanic community (among others Ásatrú).
This troll cross may not have the historical relevance and authenticity of a Norse mjölnir (Thor's hammer), but it is still an excellent piece of jewelry. Whether at medieval markets, Viking gatherings, reenactment events, or simply in modern day life, both men and women can enhance their attire with this lovely piece of blacksmithing art. And with some cleverly placed troll crosses, anyone afraid of trolls, goblins and other creatures can make their home a safe place!
