Vegvisir hanger, brons Festival riemen The 1908 cavalry sword wasThis pendant is made in the shape of a Vegvisir. The Vegvisir is a symbol from the Icelandic Huld manuscript, a 19th century occult book of spells. Vegvisir means: that which shows the way. Anyone who wore this magical symbol would not get lost during a storm. It is not known whether the early medieval Vikings knew this symbol. But in modern Viking culture and among neo pagans it plays an important role and has been given a new context.
