The hammer is described in Norse mythology as one of the most powerful weapons, capable of levelling mountains. It was used by Thor to guard Asgard, the celestial stronghold of the Aesir, the main tribe of gods and goddesses in Norse mythology. As well as being a weapon, legend has it that Thor's hammer also occupied a key role in religous rituals of cleansing.
