Profile
Origin
Mjölnir (Old Norse: Mjǫllnir) is the hammer of the Norse god Thor. Forged by dwarves, it can shrink in size to be hidden inside a shirt, it will never fail no matter the force with which it is used, never miss its mark when thrown, and will never fly so far that it can't return to its owner's hand.[1] In addition to being a deadly weapon, Mjölnir might have had other symbolic powers—as in the tale of Baldur's death Thor consecrates[a] the funeral pyre with the hammer, and the inscription Þorr vígi is seen on several runestones.[b]
The tale of its forging and how it came to be owned by Thor is described in the Skáldskaparmál section of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda. According to this tale, Loki had cut off the hair of the goddess Sif, Thor's wife, and Thor threatened to break every bone in Loki's body until he promised that he would go to the svartálfar and have them make Sif hair of gold as a replacement. He went to the Sons of Ivaldi who made him the golden hair, along with the ship Skíðblaðnir and the spear Gungnir. Afterwards, Loki made a bet with the dwarf Brokkr that he and his brother Sindri would never be able to make three items of equal quality. During the forging of the three items a fly bites Brokkr, who is the one using the bellows. The dwarf ignores the bites for the first two items, but while working on the third item he is bitten between the eyes and blood obscures his vision. Because Brokkr had to stop and wipe the blood from his face, most of the iron used in the forging was wasted, and that is why Mjölnir—the third item—has a fault, in that it has a very short handle. The three items were presented to the gods Odin, Freyr, and Thor. Odin was given the ring Draupnir, Freyr the boar Gullinbursti, and Thor Mjölnir. The gods decided that the hammer was the best of all items presented to them, and that the dwarf had won the bet.
