In pagan Europe, one of a man's few cherished possessions was his sword, while most everything else—land, livestock, houses—was owned by the women. A knight's sword was the defender of light against the forces of darkness, symbolizing purification, spiritual evolution, the all conquering spirit, as well as the magical power to fight off evil.

During the middle ages, the sword was seen as a symbol of death and psychic strength, as well as a symbol of the spirit and the word of God. This amulet has been named "Hrunting" after the ancient royal sword given to Beowulf for his epic fight with Grendel's mother. After the titanic battle, Grendel, the first and elemental evil, is beheaded, and his head is taken by the triumphant Beowulf as a trophy.

This concept of Hrunting, the royal sword of Beowulf, has the skull of Grendel as the hilt. By wearing this amulet you can imbue your spirit with the strength of Beowulf, and all the magical properties of the symbol of the sword—enlightenment, spirituality, strength, and power.

Measurements: Cast in pewter, this item is approximately 2.5" by .75" (6cm x 2cm). It is also double-sided, and is identical on each side. Each pewter pendant comes with a 24" silvertone chain.
