The wolf can go either way in the Nordic myths.  The symbol can represent chaos and disruption, or bravery, loyalty and wisdom.  The Vikings wore bracelets such as this one as a symbol of their allegiance to their chieftain. Oaths sworn on such an arm ring could not be broken.

The most famous wolf in the Norse world was Fenrir, one of the sons of Loki, the Norse god of mischief and deception. Tricked and chained up by the gods who feared his strength, at Ragnarok, a great battle, he is destined to break his chains and run through the Norse cosmos devouring everything before him. 

In Norse Mythology, the wolf Fenrir was a symbol of evil and unrest who eventually kills Odin.  Odin is the oldest and wisest of the gods in Norse mythology, and the one who presides over Valhalla.  However, the wolf was also associated with warriors, and Odin had two wolves as loyal companions.

This arm ring is perfect for the modern Viking who feels the power of the wolf within themselves.
