Vegvísir (signpost) "Viking Compass" jewelry pendant, gold-plated stainless steel
Vegvísir - Wayfinder - Jewelry pendant made of stainless steel, gold-plated.
The Vegvísir is a mystical, magical symbol that was ultimately intended to be (or represents) a "guide through life"!
There are various theories regarding the meaning and structure of the symbol.
The symbol is known from the Huld manuscript, dating to around 1880. An attribution to the Vikings is controversial and has not yet been proven.
The center of the eight-spoked symbol, which resembles a Hagal rune, stands for the "self."
It is conjectured, among other things, that this could refer to the 9 worlds of Norse mythology:
- The Upper World: Asgard - Vanaheim - Ljósálfheim
- The Middle World: Muspelheim - Midgard - Niflheim
- The Lower World: Svartálfheim - Jötunheim - Hel
The Huld manuscript was written hundreds of years after the end of the Viking Age.
The manuscripts state: "If this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the path is not known."
The word "Vegvísir" comes from the Icelandic language and means wayfinder!
We find no clear source in the Huld manuscripts indicating where the symbol originates, nor any association with the early Middle Ages or potentially even earlier times.
It is also not clearly known whether it was used for navigation, e.g., on ships.
We therefore deliberately remain reserved here, as no verifiable evidence has been provided so far.
However, the magical aura, power, and strength of the symbol are hard to deny!
