Odin gave the gold but put a curse on it. Full of greed, Fafnir changed into a dragon to guard his treasure and was later slain by the young hero Sigurd. Sigurd was spurred on by another brother of Fafnir, the blacksmith Regin. Once Sigurd, under the advice of Odin, had killed Fafnir, Regin asked him to cook the dragon’s heart for him. Sigurd touched the heart as it was cooking to test if it was done and burned his thumb. He put his thumb into his mouth and was then able to understand the language of birds. (In this tale, knowledge is given to one who eats the heart of a dragon.) The birds told Sigurd that it was Regin’s intention to kill him, so instead Sigurd killed Regin and left with Fafnir’s treasure.  Learn more about pagan ritual tools here here: https://oreamnosoddities.com/blogs/news/magical-tools-in-paganism  HANDMADE IN THE USA **There is a saw tooth hanger fixed to the back for easy hanging** **All wood working by Oreamnos Oddities is done by hand** **All bones sold at Oreamnos Oddities are ethically sourced.**
