The wolf is an enigmatic figure in the Norse faith, as it can have several meanings.
The most famous wolf is Fenrir, one of the most frightening beasts in Norse mythology that would bring the end of the world. However, in the Nordic culture, not all wolves were evil.
Odin himself had two wolves named Geri and Freki who accompanied him in battle, hunting, and wandering.
From this partnership between the god and the wolves came the alliance between man and dog. One of the most elite Viking warriors is the Ulfhednar. Men who wore wolf pelts and fought in states of ecstatic rage, strengthened by the spirit of Odin and the Wolf.
