Vegvisir - Pronounced “VEGG-vee-seer”)
This beautiful handmade Viking jewelry in the form of a compass with the 24 Old Norse runes around it, which originates from about 200 years after Christ, makes this Viking necklace a piece of history in itself.
Vegvisir is a magical protective and guiding symbol. What is written in the Huld Manuscript about the Vegvisor is the following text:
"Nose. XXVII + XXIX. Vegvisir.Beri mamm stafi eisesa á sér villist mamm ekki í hríðum né wondu veðri þó ókunnugur sá.”
Translation:
"If this sign is worn, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known."
"The wearer of this symbol will not lose his way during storms and bad weather, even if he does not know of his destination".
Vegvisir is originally mentioned in two sources, partly in the Icelandic collection of wands of wizards called Galdrabok (The Magister Book) which were originally manuals for magic and the Huld Manuscript from the 19th century by Geir Vigfusson.
Fen Alraun has a theory based on that the symbol would contain 8 different protective spells on each staff, which means that as a whole it becomes a powerful staff spell that protects against many different kinds of obstacles that can cause you to lose your way.
Nor does he consider it necessary to understand the meaning of each syllable:
As long as it is drawn correctly each time, it will retain its power.
The shape of the symbol in the Huld Manuscript is square while that from Galdraskræða Skugga is designed to fit in a circle. The drawing was made for Ólafur Davíðsson.
Fen Alraun writes that by making a small change, in this case making the rods the same length, affects the power of magic very little. This means that Vegvisir does at least as well in a circular version inside a circle.
There is no change in the magic because the symbols themselves have not changed.
Beri mamm stafi ésa á sér villist mamm ekki íhríðum né bado veðri þó ókunnugur sá
Carry these staves with you and you won't get lost in storms or bad weather, even though in unfamiliar surrounds.
The rune line that was mainly used in divination is the Old Norse 24 rune futhark which arose around 200 years after Christ. It is called futhark because the first 6 runes form the word futhark; feh, ur, thurs, ass, reid and ken.
The purpose of the runes was mainly to record various things but also for divination and spells. Divination with runes is an ancient tool that has close contact with our ancestors and their traditions.
