Runic Compass Tapestries
Description: A vegvísir (Icelandic for 'sign post, 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 Akureyri in 1860, and does not have any earlier attestations.
Description: Never lose your way with this ancient Viking talisman. This intricate design centers the Vegvisir (the Nordic compass) within the Valknut (the knot of Odin), surrounded by a full Elder Futhark runic alphabet and traditional Celtic knotwork borders. Featuring a weathered, gold-on-black aesthetic with deep crimson accents, this piece captures the gritty, historical feel of a Viking shield or sacred artifact.
Description: Vegvísir, theViking Compass. It is an eight-pointed shape, with each point having a unique design. It is one of many Icelandic magical staves, or galdrastafir, which were supposedly used to channel magic in specific ways. There were sigils for protection, strength, guidance and assistance with specific tasks or areas of life.
