I already want more. I think the Valknut symbol would be awesome! Just got my first tattoo of an Iron Cross on my right shoulder about a week ago. I already want more.

Wether pointed UP or DOWN the universal interpretation remains the same: That is, the nine worlds; the cycle of life and death; NNV, among others. However, my understanding and postulation of UP and DOWN is indifferent: UP would represent the ascension from Midgard to Asgard post a warriors death. Also in rites, to honor Odin and acknowledge his vibration as a deity. The knowing he's upon us without real interaction. DOWN would symbolize sacrifice, magick, wisdom, etc. The attributes Odin endeavored hanging up side down from the worlds tree. Ritually, DOWN would mean a CALL to Odin to be personally with or/among you. In short, UP or DOWN is a matter of ones intent, either way has a positive vibration. There is no godly nefarious consequence if one should tatt this symbol. The only peril is the spread of ignorance and extremist views. Of couse, This is my OPINION!!!!

It's like a victory out of nowhere, when all the chips are down... I feel this to be true intuitively of course. I don't really agree with people who think any meaning a symbol has is what we give it, that is part of it, but there is inherent meaning to symbols. It seems the Valknut energy only comes to someone who has energetically went beyond the fear of death, meaning not just mentally, but their "body" has learned the truth about reality and thus they are no longer scared.

I wear my markings with pride and honor . Valknut is a warriors symbol , I have heard many stories ( not sure of truth to them ) my personal favorite is the warrior marks himself with a valknut so the Valk will know who is amongst the army that has sworn themself to the all father and his army . To let ones enemies know that you are not a coward , you stand with courage honor and dignity against everything and will not waiver till your last breathe is drawn.
