Donar’s club A Donar or Hercules club is an elongated amulet made of antlers, bone, wood or bronze decorated with eyes, stripes or crosses. The amulets were made between the 3rd and 7th centuries and were exclusively worn by women. The connection between the amulets and the Germanic thunder god is said to emerge from an early specimen found in Cologne, on which the words DIO HER (CULI) were found. Hercules was the way the Romans interpreted the Germanic deity Donder (Donar/Þorr, etc.). Unlike the more commonly known Mjölnir amulets, these clubs were not worn as a pendant around the neck, but were used as ear or belt pendants. These clubs have been mostly found in Germany and the Low Countries. (Translation. Original post can be found in the Dutch channel @WodanistischeOmroep)
