Three triangles, locked so you cannot tell where one ends, mean you already belong to Odin.
The valknut appears carved on memorial stones and ship burials beside the slain, always near the Allfather, and the old reading of it is plain: it is the knot of those chosen for death in battle and gathered into Valhalla. To wear it is to accept the northern bargain. Fall well, sword in hand, and you are not lost. You are claimed, carried up, and seated at the long table to feast and fight until the world ends.
It is a mark for people who would rather meet the end on their feet than postpone it on their knees.
Bound here in gold, the knot of the slain. Printed heavy on garment dyed cotton, for the ones who intend to be claimed, not merely collected.
