Vegvisir, viking ring in sterling silver

The Vegvísir is a symbol of Icelandic and Viking origin, designed to help its wearer navigate through adverse conditions. Often referred to as the "Viking compass" or "Nordic compass," it is intended to prevent its wearer from getting lost.

The Vegvísir is part of the "Galdrastafir," a collection of Icelandic symbols taken from ancient 17th-century grimoires. Among these grimoires, the Huld manuscript, written by Geir Vigfússon (1813–1880), is particularly notable. However, the use of these symbols is much older, probably dating back to medieval times. The Galdrastafir are based on Celtic rune motifs, to which various properties are attributed, including protection.

The term Vegvísir is derived from two Icelandic words: "vegur" and "vísir." "Vegur" means "path, road" and "vísir" means "guide." Thus, Vegvísir can be literally translated as "road guide" or "path guide."

A common interpretation of the Vegvísir is that each branch of this symbol represents one of the nine worlds of Norse mythology, with Midgard at the center. This interpretation emphasizes the importance of the Vegvísir not only as a navigational tool, but also as a symbolic representation of the Norse universe and its various interconnected worlds.

Galdrastafir, including the Vegvísir, are an integral part of Icelandic folk beliefs. They are often engraved on personal items such as rings, amulets, and pendants.
