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). The symbol was frequently inscribed on seagoing vessels to insure their safe return home. It has also long played an important role among people who believe in magic powers, such as Norse Shamans.
