Vegvisir Norse Compass Silver Necklace

.999 fine silver vegvisir pendant on earthen background

The Vegvísir Guides the Way Through the Storm

"...if this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known." —Huld Manuscript

The Vegvísir, or Norse compass, is an Icelandic magical stave, which, according to the Huld manuscript, protects one from losing their way in bad weather. The vikings used the word " hafvilla " or "bewildered" which means to have no sense of direction or be lost at sea. We created this coin to help guide us through modern moments of hafvilla .

This wayfinder will help guide the holder through the rough journey of life. Use it to find the correct path to travel.

Reminder Token

Encircling the Vegvísir is the runic transliteration of the Icelandic phrase, "Ég stoppar ekki Þegar Þreyttur, ég stoppar Þegar ég er búinn" , which translates to, "I do not stop when tired, I stop when done."

The solid silver coin is struck with an incuse design, in which the letters are lowered rather than raised. This way the lettering will stay dark even if the coin is carried daily.
