Thor's hammer
Norse god's mallet
Thor's hammer is the weapon of Thor, the Norse god of thunder—a massive hammer called Mjölnir that only he can lift and that returns to his hand after being thrown.
The phrase names a symbol widely used in Norse paganism and modern Scandinavian culture, appearing on jewelry, tattoos, and flags.
In contemporary usage, Thor's hammer often references the Marvel Comics character: He dressed as Thor for Halloween, complete with Thor's hammer.
