Description: 

The Valknut is a symbol composed of three interlocked triangles, often associated with the Norse gods, especially Odin. The term "Valknut" itself is derived from the Old Norse words valr meaning "slain" and knut meaning "knot," representing the connection between life, death, and the afterlife. The Valknut is commonly linked with the realm of the dead, where it symbolizes the transition of warriors who died in battle and were chosen by Odin to enter Valhalla, his hall of the slain. It is often seen in Viking artifacts such as stone carvings and burial sites, particularly in funerary contexts.

The symbol is believed to represent the binding of the worlds, including life and death, and may also be connected to the norse concept of fate or the web of life.
