Valknot
The Valknot is the symbol of Odin. It can be described as three entwined triangles that represent Odin’s nature; it’s the knot around a hanged man’s neck, the nine worlds, the nine days Odin hung, the nine valkyries, the nine parts of the soul, and so forth. To wear a Valknot is to pledge yourself to Odin. It is sometimes known as the knot of death and donning it is not to be taken lightly.

Kimber

Kimbers are extremely well-made and therefore a little on the expensive side.
Marines, Special Forces, and LAPD all use Kimbers.
There is no better pistol to have in you hand than a Kimber.

Thrall
"They'll burn you up and char you well, and put your feet on the road to Hel. They'll put your ashes in the ground and then they'll raise up a great big mound. And when your names in Runes on a stone...they'll slay a thrall so you won't be alone!"
Psychopomp
Literally means "guide of the soul". A psychopomp is a conductor of people's souls who have passed, on escorting them to an afterlife. Depending on your beliefs, can be a god such as Odin or Anubis, an animal spirit such as a Raven, an Angel or Valkyrie, a loved one who has crossed over, or perhaps the most well known psychopomp of them all...the Grim Reaper.
In Greek mythology Charon was the ferryman of Hades, conducting the souls of the dead, as any psychopomp would, to their destination.

Raven
The name given to large black birds, who look similar to crows but are larger and more solitary. Corvus Corax. Often associated with healing, magic, successful hunting, death, and mischief. Considered to be messengers between the living and the other world. Honored by almost all human societies. Ravens are considered among the most intelligent of all birds; they can learn to imitate a variety of sounds, including the human voice. Ravens are scavengers and will eat just about anything that is dead; but they will also hunt for mice, lizards, small birds, snakes, insects, and berries.
They are mentioned in many mythologies, both in North America and in Europe. Among the Native Americans, Raven is a creator and trickster god. In Norse mythology, Odin’s two Ravens Thought and Memory are divine spies so to speak. They are mentioned in many poems and novels, perhaps the most famous is Edgar Allan Poe’s Nevermore.

Ravens are amazingly beautiful and graceful flyers, maneuvering effortlessly in the sky, whirling and twirling and gliding through the air, riding updrafts with ease.
"Though the birds have a wide variety of sounds and calls they may not be willing to divulge their secrets to us." Quote the raven? Aaarrck!
Nevermore!
