This video was posted on another site, it discusses the trollkors or trollcross and it being a relatively new symbol (from the early 1990s) and despite that being a valid symbol of Norse paganism.

My question regarding it, is its close appearance to the hate symbols based on the Othala rune should it be used? Or is there enough variation that it is its own symbol?

It would be nice to reclaim old symbols. But that's not feasible as long as they're people who remember their misuse and their children, who heard those appalling stories from their parents.

However, I honestly never met with any issue wearing my Mjolnir openly. So far, in Europe.

In which countries did you experience any backlash to wearing Mjolnirs?

I am in the American Southwest, I have never experienced backlash but I do not openly reveal my beliefs, it keep it quite hidden.

Catholicism here is so ingrained that other religions have adopted bits into their faith. Growing up I thought everyone celebrated lent because everyone I knew gave up something, Catholic or not.
