In ancient art, the Valknut symbol is often associated with the gods, especially Odin, and it may be depicted with the points facing up or down. Numerous examples of this symbol can be found in Norse image stones and carvings such as those found on the Oseberg ship, a Viking ship that has some of the oldest known examples of this symbol. It is also possible to see various versions of this symbol appear in artifacts from other cultures.
The Midgard Serpent in Norse mythology is the enormous serpent that encircles the world of men. The Midgard Serpent is the offspring of Loki and Angerboda, and is the brother of Fenris and Hel. It was originally named Jörmundgand, but the Aesir threw him into the sea that encircles the world, because they wanted more control over the monsters.
