A Guide to Skoll and Hati Bracelets
In Norse myth, two great wolves race across the heavens: Skoll chases Sol, the sun, while Hati pursues Mani, the moon. It is said that at Ragnarok they will finally catch their prey. A Skoll and Hati bracelet captures that endless chase with twin wolf heads facing one another at the clasp - a striking emblem of drive, endurance and fate. Below is everything you need to choose the right one.
The story of Skoll and Hati
Skoll and Hati are wolves of the Fenrir line, born to hound the sky. Their pursuit explains the movement of sun and moon, and their eventual triumph is one of the signs of Ragnarok, the doom of the gods. Wearing them is a way to carry that relentless, unstoppable energy. To dig into the wider wolf lore, read our guide to the sons of Fenrir, Hati and Skoll.
Design and materials
These bracelets are built around twin wolf-head clasps that grip the two ends of the band, so the wolves meet at the wrist. The straps are usually genuine leather for a rugged, authentic feel, with the wolf heads cast in stainless steel, bronze or alloy. Some versions use braided or multi-strand leather for extra texture. Because the wolf heads clasp the cord, many offer a little adjustment for a snug fit.
Fit and how to wear it
Most Skoll and Hati bracelets fasten as the two wolf heads draw the ends together, and many can be adjusted slightly to sit snug without pinching. The look is largely unisex and works stacked with other bands or worn on its own as a centrepiece. Pair it with a wolf ring or pendant to build a full wolf-themed set, or with our other bracelets and arm rings.
Caring for your bracelet
To keep the leather in good condition, keep it dry, wipe off sweat and dirt, and treat it occasionally with a little leather conditioner so it does not dry out or crack. Wipe the wolf heads with a soft cloth, and remove the bracelet before swimming or showering. If you want a band you can get wet, our paracord bracelets handle water better.
