The Valknut, also known as the "Knot of the Slain" or "Warrior's Knot," is an ancient Norse symbol with deep mythological and historical significance. Its distinctive interwoven design of three triangles has been found on various artifacts, including runestones, amulets, and memorial stones, associated with the Norse cultural and religious context. The name "Valknut" is derived from the Old Norse words "valr" (slain warriors) and "knut" (knot), suggesting a connection to the fallen warriors in Norse mythology. The Valknut is considered a symbol of the transition between life and death. It is believed to represent the journey of fallen warriors to the afterlife, particularly to Valhalla.
