In Norse mythology, hamingja refers to two concepts: the personification of the good fortune or luck of an individual or family and the altered appearance of shape-shifters.
The hamingja was a type of female guardian spirit in Norse mythology. It was believed that she accompanied a person and decided their luck and happiness. Consequently, the name was also used to indicate happiness, and that is what it means in modern Icelandic. When a person died, the hamingja passed to a beloved family member and thus accompanied a family for several generations, continuing to influence their fortunes. It was even possible to lend one's own hamingja to a friend, as happened when Hjalti Skeggiason was about to leave on a perilous voyage and asked Olaf II of Norway to lend him his hamingja. It usually appears during sleep in the form of an animal, but it can also be the spirit of a sleeping person who appears in the form of an animal, as Bödvar Bjarki in the saga of Hrólfr Kraki.

The kóryos refers to the hypothetical Proto-Indo-European brotherhood of warriors in which unmarried young males served for a number of years before their full integration to the host society, in the context of a rite of passage into manhood.
Subsequent Indo-European traditions and myths feature parallel linkages between property-less adolescent males, perceived as an age-class not yet fully integrated into the community of the married men; their service in a "police-army" sent away for a part of the year in the wild (where they hunted animals and raided foreign communities), then defending the host society during the remaining part of the year; their mystical self-identification with wolves and dogs as symbols of death, promiscuity, lawlessness, and warrior fury; and the idea of a liminality between invulnerability and death on one side, and youth and adulthood on the other side.

Modern Norse paganism is a revival of ancient Norse religious practices and beliefs, sometimes in modified form, that has occurred in some European countries and countries with populations of European descent such as the United States and Canada. It is commonly referred to as Asatru. Although most adherents of Asatru are not racist or white supremacist, some white supremacists have adopted modern Norse pagan beliefs and symbols. Some of these symbols include the Tyr, Algiz, Jera, Sowilu/SS, Madr and Odal/Othala runes. Also the Sun wheel/cross, Black sun, Wolfsangel, Thors Hammer/Mjolnir and Swastika have been used by certain groups in the last 100 years. This video goes over these symbols and their original meaning and history.
