Crystal Meanings and Vegvisir information below! 

Listing is for 1 Undrilled pocket size (approx 1"D) Vegvisir crystal with rounded edges on both sides.

All Vegvisir are carved from genuine crystal, a natural product of the earth (barring man made like opalite) and therefore you can expect variations in color and pattern. Crystals may vary in color, shape, and patterns and may include inclusions, natural to that stone when mined.

Your Vegvisir crystal comes cleansed and charged from the last full moon, but it's important to cleanse it prior to using, and whenever necessary.

The Vegvisir 

(Icelandic Vegvísir, “That Which Shows the Way;” pronounced “VEGG-vee-seer”) 

Vegvisir: The Symbol of Guidance and Protection & Its Meaning – The Viking Compass/Runic Compass

The Vegvisir, also known as the runic compass or the Viking compass/Nordic compass is made of eight Viking rune staves, & is a symbol of protection and guidance believed to be used as a compass by Vikings. The word vegvisir means ‘wayfinder’ and ‘sign post’ in Icelandic language.

It is believed that the eight Viking rune staves comprising the Vegvisir could be representing the cardinal (North, South, West, East) and intercardinal directions (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, Southeast.)

Some people believe that a nail placed right in the middle of the Vegvisir would tell of directions (through its shadow’s position at certain times of day) and help the Vikings navigate the seas.

In some legends, it is mentioned that the Vegvisir/the Nordic compass would be drawn on Viking ships to help them find their way back and come back home safely.

Today, the Vegvisir is used as symbol of Icelandic culture while people of Asatru faith also use it to identify themselves and as a symbol of spiritual guidance.

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. In many cases, the symbols were made by combining the runes that made up the Old Norse alphabet.

It’s possible that the symbol did not exist at all during the Viking age. It’s more likely that it appeared much later, and was borrowed by the Nordic people from elsewhere in Europe. Nonetheless, it carries a heavy importance in Icelandic culture today.
