Gungnir is the legendary spear of the Norse god Odin, a powerful weapon that plays a significant role in Norse mythology. The name "Gungnir" is derived from Old Norse and is often translated as "swaying" or "the swaying one," which may refer to its unerring ability to strike its target. In Hebrew, it is transliterated as גונגניר. The spear is said to be indestructible and always hits its mark, symbolizing Odin's wisdom and power. Gungnir is often depicted with a distinctive shaft adorned with intricate carvings and a tip that never fails to find its target. The spear is also associated with Odin's role as the god of war and death, as well as his connection to the runes and magic. In Old English, the spear is sometimes referred to as Gungnir or Gungnir's spear, and in German, it is known as Gungnir or Odins Speer. The spear's significance is further emphasized in various myths, such as the story of Odin's self-sacrifice on the world tree Yggdrasil, where he hangs himself for nine nights while pierced by Gungnir.
