If this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known. Much is disputed & argued over this Icelandic stave.. & it is often & mistakenly referred to as a 'Viking compass' What we know for sure about the Vegvisir is that it is a, or collection of Galdrastafir.. Icelandic & Norse staves - inscribed or painted magical signs or symbols usually designed to control the elements, steer developments & give protection. On its own the word stafr in Icelandic also means a letter (of the alphabet) or character whilst also purports to lore or wisdom. Much less a 'Compass' - The Vegvisir incorporates 8 different charms of protection on each stave; thus the overall charm becomes one suitable to defend against many kinds of evils or obstacles that might cause one to lose one's way in the journey of life.. This piece can make a wonderful focal point for any Nordic shrine for securing & protecting an environment & persons from harmful energies. The rear is adorned with a flush mount hanger making it easily hung on any existing nail in a wall & a single tea light is included to make it immediately serviceable. Any Queries please contact.
