Meaning

The Knot of the Slain

The Valknut Collection symbolizes the warrior’s journey into the afterlife, the bond between life, death, and the gods. Known as the “Knot of the Slain,” the Valknut represents courage in the face of death and the acceptance of one’s fate. This collection is for those who live boldly, honor their ancestors, and carry the spirit of the fallen with them.

Heritage

Embrace the Power of Fate and Honor

The Valknut is an ancient Norse symbol of three interlocking triangles, often found on Viking burial stones and artifacts. It is closely associated with Odin, the god who guided the spirits of warriors to Valhalla. To Vikings, the Valknut represented not only death in battle but also the power of the gods to bind and unbind a warrior’s fate. This collection draws from these sacred carvings, honoring the bravery and loyalty of those who lived—and died—by the sword.

The Meaning Behind “Vikheim”

The name Vikheim came to us after deeply exploring what kind of impact we wanted to make in this space. There are many websites and shops focused on Vikings, and we wanted to bring a unique angle. We knew part of this was helping others understand Viking heritage and the stories and meaning within Norse mythology. The purpose was to help others find connection.

Where do people feel they are when they do find a deep, innate connection? Home. The word “Heim” in Old Norse means Home. Merging that into the word “Viking”, we found our name, as the home of Viking, Vikheim.
