The Nidstång

The ‘Niding Pole’ (often called Nidstang or Nidhstong) is an early Scandinavian system of cursing another being. A niding (or nithing) pole is most often made out of wood, traditionally hazel, with a horse’s head placed upon the top and relevant runes carved into the pole.

On the Niding Pole, the horse skull uttered the horse rune Ehwaz, using the linking and transmissive power of this rune for the magical working. The horse is sacred to Odin . . .
