Wolves (Fenrir)
In Norse mythology, Fenrir is the son of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. His siblings are the world serpent, Jörmungandr, and the goddess Hel. All three of them were prophecized to help bring the end of the world, Ragnarok. While Jörmungandr’s role was to start Ragnarok and then battle Thor, Fenrir was the one who would kill the All-Father god, Odin.
In Norse mythology he was a symbol of strength, ferocity, destiny, and inevitability. Today, Fenrir is often used as a symbol in clothing and jewelry, as an amulet, to showcase cultural pride or simply as a symbol of strength and power.
The image of the wolf is often stylized in a variety of ways, and used in pendants, bracelets and rings, etc. They tend to have a masculine feel and are ideal for a statement design. The wolf can represent the destructive forces oftime and nature, for which even the gods are not a match.
