The Valknut, is a combination of two Old Norse words, valr (slain warriors) + knut (knot), is a symbol consisting of three interlocked triangles, and appears on various Germanic objects and artworks, such as the Stora Hammars stone, the Tangelgarda stone and the more often referenced Borromean rings. The Valknut is related to the pagan Triquetra and Triskelion both visually and in the inherant nature of the symbols, but most Odinists, or followers of a true Viking tradition will only accept the Borromean or unicursal versions, rather than any symbol with the "power of three" connotation. It is associated with Odin, and according to Hilda Ellis Davidson, it is thought to symbolise the power of the god to bind and unbind the mind.  Although the strict meaning of the Valknut is not known, there is a thought that three multiplied by three might designate the nine worlds, which are united by the Yggdrasil tree. Another meaning comes from the giant, Hrungnir, and his peculiarly shaped heart of stone referred to in the Prose Edda as having 3 sharp and pointed corners.
