A War Footing by Nicolas Poitou

This pendant is one of series of quartz amulets that have been discovered from the Viking world, with an important group being found on the island of Visby, Sweden. The exact purpose of these amulets is not known but they have been found in female graves and it has been suggested that they served a magical function for use by seers, known as Völur or fjölkunnig, meaning “plenty of knowing”. Völur practiced seiðr, practices which encompassed shamanism, sorcery, prophecy and other forms of indigenous magic. Historical and mythological depictions of völur show that they were held in high esteem and believed to possess such powers that even the father of the gods, Odin himself, consulted them to learn what the future had in store for the gods.
