The Helm of Awe is a classic rune stave that is known as a Viking symbol of protection. Here in Minnesota quite frequently. Aegishjalmur is an Old Norse term coming aegis, which means 'shield,' with hjalmr, or 'helm.' No surprise, as the stave was painted or drawn on their foreheads to protect them in battle, or to simply freak out their enemies with menacing face graphics.

You might not be swinging an ax on raids today, but who doesn't need a badass symbol of protection when you enter your daily battles? Plus it's a fun conversation starter.

It has a classic structured fit, adjustable plastic snapback, and a curved visor that matches its underbill.

These hats are embroidered in the USA or Europe depending upon where you order.
