Why do people wear Thor's hammer today?

[@MrEnaric]

To me personally, it's about being the protector and provider like Thór himself. A tangible reminder who I am as a father and husband with all the responsibilities and tasks that come with being that. Mjölnir reminds me of the lessons of our ancestors. They walk with me, their strength is mine and that of my children. Verthú heilir from the Netherlands!

As a 15yr Heathen it is a sacred symbol. It is a connection to the ancestors whome I call upon, it is a connection to my path which is a way of being. A reminder to all of the complexities it is to live and breathe being a Heathen and strive to do and be better. To be honest, blunt, mean well, fully embody Frith and challenge those around to do the same (even if they are baby steps for them). Mjolnir is the beater on the drum of my life, and he is the spirit who can bridge that gap of Earth & sky.

Very interesting question to ask on a daily basis. This symbol in my opinion represents a growing force and understanding of all things pre Christians understood as the natural world, or at least some that try to preserve the more ancient ways stemming from something more ancient and older. I seek alot of wisdom from all traditions and pre Christian paths and even the rig vedas but overall all the people stem from a common or similar indo european belief and cosmology. The symbol represents constant growth and development or rather adapting to this time and now, because this practice is organic and always growing and not stagnate like words on parchment or literature.

I am a Norse pagan I have lord Thors hammer tattooed on my arm to prove my loyalty to the Norse gods and as a sign of my faith as a believer of the old gods

[@timothyhenegar7484]

Mjolnir has a lot of meanings to me... It represents the following: Strength Faith Protection Memory & Thought But also manifesting will and intend to manifest Hamr (Form) into reality. That would be my personal development and growth.

[@keithdrummond1003]

Very nice

[@keithdrummond1003]

Mjolnir. I only wear it if I'm preparing to venerate the gods. Iggdrasil. To me, it represents a connectedness of all things. I wear this mostly. I primarily connect with the Land Spirits. I talk to my local land spirits every morning before sunrise. I leave offerings that the animals in the backyard can consume.

[@MysticSageRaven95]

It has many meanings to me it's for protection fertility and it reminds me my ancestors are always with me it reminds me of my inner strength the connection I feel to the old ways is definitely more prevalent while I wear it

[@kiwiviking22]

For me it's a symbol of the old ways, it symbolizes strength, protection and represents my ancestors and also being carved out of ponamu it represents me as a NZr and thor is one of my patreon gods......

[@therideinmidgard]

I so wanna pounamu Mjolnir!

[@Occidentale-Pagano-Ribelle]

When I tuch it, I feel me protect, strong and invincible. For me is the gateway between us and gods.

[@JhoferGamer]

It might help you get the strength from the god who protects the outside, who is bold, who is strong, who is brave, and who is faithful to his wife.

[@bloedbaard]

Im an atheist, the only reason i wear it is to show respect to my ancestors and heritage 🙂👍🏻

[@bookonlegsbookonlegs8991]

I am Spiritual not religious. I carry many different symbols with me out of wishing protection from them, and given respect for those older beliefs.

[@CelticHound357]

For me it's all about my history, heritage, culture and faith. I also wear a Celtic cross with my hammer for the same reasons, except for the religious aspect. To a point. Jesus did deliver a good message. It's what the Christians have done to it that bothers me.

[@JhoferGamer]

Not all christians, I went to Greece one day last year and attended a orthodox liturgy. Didn't understand anything but it is was infinitely better than my local lutheran churches. People came and left when they wanted, the doors were always open and people stood up when they felt the presence of God rather than when the priest told them to stand. If you come in late in a lutheran church people look at you angrily, as if it were middle-school and you were late for class. It's a shame, really.
