The Norse/Germanic god of thunder, Thor was one of the most popular deities in the Medieval world. His popularity continues to the present day. In fact, you may even say that Thor is seeing a resurgence of popularity, and not just because of the Marvel movies that portray him as a sort of awkward frat boy from outer space. TV shows such as the Vikings, Game of Thrones, The Last Kingdom, etc. have stirred an interest in Thor and the other gods of old.

'The Green Man', or 'Jack o' the Green'
Is he a symbol of nature, and the rebirth of nature once winter has retreated and the sun has returned, or is he a symbol of Anglo Saxon resistance to Norman invaders....
| The mysterious Green Man continues to captivate people |
This latest design is of the GREEN MAN! This frondescent fellow is very much a mystery, but it is widely accepted that he is a pre-Christian, Celtic nature spirit representing the cycle of life, and the rebirth of plants and nature in the Spring. The green man went into hiding with the spread of Christianity, but vestiges of his viny visage continued to appear in the carvings of churches, chapels, and cathedrals. In fact, there are more than 110 green men carved into the crevices of the esoteric Rosslyn Chapel (the cryptic chapel associated with the Knights Templar after they were disbanded and went into hiding).

Celtic Harp
While the shamrock gets most of the glory in modern times, it's actually the Celtic harp that has been the major emblem of Ireland throughout history! The history of this emblem of the Emerald Isle stretches back into ancient times. It was the most sought after instrument throughout all of the Celtic lands, not just Ireland. Scotland, Wales, Brittany, anywhere there were vestiges of Celtic culture you would find the Celtic harp.

| "Fenrir: The Monster Wolf of Norse Mythology |
| The legend of Fenrir has many interesting stories attached to it, but perhaps the most well known is how Fenrir came to bite off the hand of the Nordic god, Týr (from whom we get "Týrsday, or Tuesday as it is now known). Týr was brave enough to place his hand INSIDE the mouth of Fenrir while the other Nordic god's bound Fenrir with a magical ribbon made by the dwarves. Fenrir, who was able to break every other chain up until the magical dwarf ribbon was unable to free himself, and bit off Týr's hand in a rage! Týr is now most commonly depicted as missing a hand. |

New Samhain (Halloween) Designs!!!
![]() |
| Shop Celtic Hammer Club Samhain (Halloween) Apparel NOW! |
Halloween is so much fun. Carving pumpkins, dressing up, scary movies, and, of course, lots of candy. What many don't know, is that the spectacle of Halloween and all its goblin goodness has its feet firmly planted in the traditions of the pre-Christian Celtic peoples of Ireland and Scotland!
That's right! Everything from carving pumpkins (although they used turnips back then) to the superstitious practices of trick-or-treating have their origins with the ancient Celts! For this reason, Halloween is near and dear to Celtic Hammer Club, since we love all things Celtic!
Our Samhain designs pay homage to the Celtic roots of Halloween while also celebrating the fun of being a little scared every October 31st. Creepy twisted trees, unsettling witches with their black magic, jack o' lanterns poised at window sills to ward off evil spirits are all part of the tradition represented on our one of a kind apparel.
If you love Halloween as much as we do, you're going to want to get a tee or a zip up to really stand out at your Halloween party or parade!
