Nidstång . . .
The ‘Niding Pole’ (often called Nidstang or Nidhstong) is an early Scandinavian system of cursing another being. A niding (or nithing) pole is most often made out of wood, traditionally hazel, with a horse’s head placed upon the top and relevant runes carved into the pole.
On the Niding Pole, the horse skull uttered the horse rune Ehwaz, using the linking and transmissive power of this rune for the magical working. The horse is sacred to Odin . . . To cast the curse, the pole was traditionally built, facing the path to which the curse is to be sent. An incantation is spoken, pronouncing the goal of the curse.
The pole channeled the destructive forces of Hel, goddess of death. These forces were carried up the rod and projected through the horse skull. The runes carved on the pole defined the character and target of the destructive forces.
