Vegvísir Symbol - Norse Viking Compass & Protective Sigil #18993 (License: Personal Use)

The Vegvísir is a legendary Icelandic magical stave depicted as an eight-armed compass-like symbol, each arm composed of distinct rune-like elements converging at a central circle. Historically documented in the 19th-century Huld Manuscript, it was used as a talisman for navigation and protection, especially by seafarers and wanderers. Though not part of pre-Christian Norse tradition, it has become a popular emblem in modern Heathenry, tattoo art, and neo-pagan symbolism.
