Vegvísir Runic Compass Pendant Necklace

£4.85

Part of our range of pendants inspired by mystical and magical symbolism.

A Vegvísir (Icelandic 'sign post' or 'wayfinder') is an Icelandic magical stave intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather. The symbol is attested in the Huld Manuscript, collected in Iceland by Geir Vigfusson in 1880 (but consisting of material of earlier origin).

“If this sign is carried, one will never lose one’s way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known.”

Made from silver metal, the necklace comes strung on a 42cm long black cord.

The pendant measures 35mm across x 40mm high (including bail).

Icelandic magical staves (sigils) are symbols called Galdrastafur in Icelandic, and are credited with magical effect preserved in various grimoires dating from the 17th century and later.
