Vegvísir (Signpost) "Viking Compass" Stainless Steel Jewelry Pendant

 Vegvísir - Wayfinder, pendant made of stainless steel.
 
The Vegvísir is a mystical magical symbol, presumably intended to be a "guide through life" - or representing it as such!
There are various theories about the meaning and structure of the symbol.
The symbol is known from the Huld Manuscript around 1880. An attribution to the Vikings is controversial and not yet proven.
The center of the eight-spoked symbol, which resembles a Hagal rune, stands for the "I".
 
Among other things, it is assumed that this could refer to the 9 worlds from Norse mythology:
  • The Upper World: Asgard - Vanaheim - Ljósálfheim
  • The Middle World: Muspelheim - Midgard - Niflheim
  • The Underworld: Svartálfheim - Jötunheim - Hel
The Huld manuscript was written hundreds of years after the end of the Viking Age.
It is stated in the manuscripts: "If this sign is carried, one will never get lost in storms or bad weather, even if the way is unknown."
The word "Vegvísir" comes from the Icelandic language and means "wayfinder"!
We do not find any clear source reference in the Huld manuscripts as to where the symbol originated, nor any attribution to the early Middle Ages (or possibly even earlier times).
It is also not clearly known whether it was used for navigation on ships, for example.
 
We therefore deliberately remain reserved on this matter, as no verifiable evidence has yet been presented.
 
However, the magical aura, power, and strength of the symbol are hardly deniable!
