WDS VEGVISIR VIKING COMPASS WATCH

Vegvisir, The Viking Compass/Nordic Compass

Vegvisir literally means, that which shows the way. And that is exactly why it is referred to as the Viking compass.

But is it Is it really the Viking compass

The short answer is: we might never know. The earliest references to symbol in written accounts can be found in the Icelandic grimoire known asThe Galdrabk,which is believed to be compiled in 16th and 17th centuries.

Was the Vegvisir used during the Viking Age It is not certain. So, it would be more appropriate to call the symbol the Nordic compass.

Vegvisir is widely associated with gishjlmr because of their similar shape and appearance at first sight, at least. The arms of the Aegishjalmurs helm are all of the same design. On the contrary, all the arms of Vegvisir have unique designs.
