The three triangles of the valknut entwined into each other symbolize the structure of the Germanic cosmos. The triangles embody the three levels Asgard (world of the gods), Midgard (world of the people) and Utgard (underworld). The nine corners stand for the nine worlds Asgard, Midgard, Hel, Jötunheim, Lichtalfheim, Muspelheim, Wannaheim, Swartalfheim and Niflheim.
In addition, the Valknot is also a sign of destiny. It stands like the three Nornen for the past, the presence and the future.
The Valknut is covered for example by the picture stone of Tängelgårda from the 7th century historically.
In addition, the Valknot is shown also on the Stora Hammar rune-stone.
