Extraordinary Piece of Jewelry and Lucky Charm!
Not only a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry, but also an authentic lucky charm of Nordic mythology is this unique replica of a runic amulet. It was designed based on the original archaeological find of a gold bracteate. This was found in Zealand/Denmark and attributed to the Germanic Iron Age - first to fifth century AD.
The original of this extraordinary find can be admired in the National Museum in Copenhagen.
Odin - Wodan - Wuotan - Wotan
Odin, named Wodan in southern Germanic and Wuotan in Old High German, was made Wotan in New High German by Richard Wagner. Odin, or Wotan, stands for the Allfather of his entire race of gods and as a symbol of the god of the dead and war. He was the eldest and noblest of the Aesir. The earliest evidence of his name is the find of a brooch bible from the sixth century.
In addition to a multitude of other names, the name Wodan could also be deciphered. Other finds show Odin on his magical throne with his two ravens Hugin and Munin. On numerous other finds, the father of gods is depicted on his steed Sleipnir. This magical horse could glide on land, on water, and in the air.
The special focus of the offered replica of the bracteate from Zealand is the image of the rider Wotan on his horse Sleipnir. This extraordinary pendant is surrounded by a magical runic inscription - 'hariuha haitika faranisa' - I am called Hariuha, knowing the misfortune I bring luck. This beautiful lucky charm is crafted from silver-colored metal cast and comes with a black leather cord.

Bracteates - Their Meaning and Minting Technique
The term bracteate comes from the Latin 'bractea'. Translated, this means 'thin metal plate'. Such coins were only minted on one side, on a soft surface. This resulted in a one-sided, slight bulge.
Bracteates excelled with a variety of motifs. However, gods and magical runes were usually the most popular motifs.
