Origins...
The Troll Cross, (Swedish Trollkors), is said to be a protective charm…
Against negative entities and spirits. Not much is known about the origin about the Trollkors, except that a swedish smith called Kari Erlands made a piece of Jewelry out of it, based on the woods of Dalarnas län, Sweden in the early 1990’s.
According to Swedish, it protects the home and house of the family and the symbol itself indeed resembles the Rune of Othala, mentioned in the Rune Poems and is tied to the importance of a home.

Many local fairy tales are not just simple tales – but rather unlock a deeper insight into the beliefs, the worldview and the spiritual practice of the “simple” rural, farmer population of Scandinavia.
Many tales are indeed very old and hold significant information on the pre-christian roots of Scandinavian cultures.
