Vegvísir Symbol - The Norse Magical Compass for Protection and Guidance #18996 (License: Personal Use)

This eight-pointed symbol, known as the Vegvísir (Old Norse for “wayfinder” or “path indicator”), originates from the 19th-century Icelandic grimoire Huld Manuscript. Each arm combines runic and geomantic motifs, traditionally inscribed on travelers’ bodies or objects to ensure safe passage through harsh weather or disorientation. Though not Viking-age in origin, it has become a prominent emblem in modern Norse pagan and Heathen traditions.
