This Vegvisir Viking Compass Ring with Bold Knotwork comes is forged from steel and can be styled with a gold or steel Vegvisir insignia.
The Vegvisir, also known as the runic compass or the Viking compass/Nordic compass made of eight Viking rune staves, is a symbol of protection and guidance believed to be used as a compass by Vikings. The word vegvisir means ‘Wayfinder’ and ‘sign post’ in the Icelandic language.
Vegvisir, the Viking Compass, is first recorded in the Huld Manuscript, compiled by Geir Vigfusson in the 19th century. It depicts the Vegvisir symbol, which means “that which shows the way”, combining “vegur” which means way, with “visir”, which means pointer.
