The wolf cross was believed to originate from Celtic cross, that was brought to Iceland with Irish monks. Celtic cross is an old symbol of Odin’s sun wheel cross that later on transferred to Celtic Christianity. Original Celtic crosses were typically even armed crosses within a circle that were found at Celtic graveyards and spiritual sites. Later versions of this cross were found without the circle, resembling the standard Christian cross but with abundant Celtic engraving embellishing the cross

Wolves play a major role in Norse mythology, as Odin created the first wolves to act as his companions during his travels. He named his new canine companions Geri and Freki, the ravenous and the greedy one, who slowly populated the world with their offspring during Odin’s journeys. First humans were said to learn from Geri and Freki on how to cooperate during hunts and care for their close ones. Wolves were iconic of strength and community in Nordic culture, and were often depicted in religious drawings or carved on everyday items and charms.
