After the Edda, Odin left to his wolves all the food that was served to him in Valhalla, since he himself only drank mead. But Odin's fate is also closely linked to another wolf: In the global conflagration Ragnarök, the father of the gods is devoured by Fenrir, the giant Fenris wolf.  Like ravens, wolves were considered by the Vikings to be animals of the battlefield. Celtic knots have neither beginning nor end and therefore serve as a symbol of infinity or eternity. The pentagram is one of the most important magical symbols. With the tip facing upwards, it is generally regarded as a protective sign.
