Yes, that's right.I recall reading Thor's hammer signified fertility, as well as strength. The Norse would put hammers in their plots of land to mark territories and acreages. After a baby was born, the family would make the symbol of the "hammer" across the baby while in its cradle, and this reminded me of the Catholic gesture of making the "cross" with their hand gestures.
Hi Skeptic sisterLegendofJoe, I'm sorry, but there's more than one source that claims Frigga and Freya were in fact confused and mixed up in that tale, that it was in fact Frigga that owned the necklace....
I'll see if I can find a link. I've read several authors' arguements for the confusion factor, and it stands to reason, as near as I can tell.
