May 19th and 20th
The Hammer of Thor
For those who follow the Nordic traditions, May 19th and 20th are dedicated to the Hammer of Thor, Mjollnir (the crusher).
The Hammer of Thor is a symbolic tool that discharges the power of right orderliness over that of the power of harmful chaos. According to mythology, one activity that was undertaken at this time was the ritual of trial by combat, where the wills of the Gods would decide which combatant had goodness on his side. Today, devotees of Thor wear small hammer pendants as symbols of their dedication to the Scandinavian sky God of thunder and patron of sailors, farmers, and the poorer classes.
