Necklace made entirely of stainless steel with the dragon Nidhögg as Ouroboros. The pendant is double-sided and can be worn either way.
The dragon Nidhögg wound around the world tree Yggdrasil where he clawed and gnawed at the roots. He has come to symbolize evil in Asatruism as he eats from the tree of life and he also resides in the goddess Hel's realm of the dead where he sucks the blood from the bodies of the dead. Old Norse dragons could have different appearances, sometimes like a snake, sometimes more dragon-like without wings and they did not breathe fire.
The snake eating its own tail is one of the world's oldest symbols. It is depicted on the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun from the 14th century BC.During the Roman Empire, it often appeared on magical talismans, symbolizing the cyclical nature of the year. “Ouroboros” comes from the Greek and means “tail-eater.” It eats its own tail to sustain its own life in an endless cycle of renewal.
