Vegvisir ring - 99$ ★Material: High Quality Solid 960 Sterling Silver★

Weight: approx. 19 g (0,67 oz)

The Vegvisir, also known as the runic compass or the Icelandic runes/Nordic compass, is an enchanting symbol comprising eight rune staves. It is deeply revered as a representation of protection and guidance, believed to have served as a compass for the Vikings. The Icelandic term "vegvisir" translates to "wayfinder" and "sign post."

Although widely recognized as the Viking compass, associated with the intrepid voyages undertaken by the Vikings during the Viking Age, the true origin of the Vegvisir remains a topic of ongoing debate.

The arrangement of the eight Icelandic rune staves forming the Vegvisir is thought to symbolize both the cardinal directions (North, South, West, East) and the intercardinal directions (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, Southeast).

According to some theories, it is believed that placing a nail precisely at the center of the Vegvisir allowed the Vikings to navigate the seas. By observing the nail's shadow at specific times of the day, they could derive directional information and navigate with greater confidence.

In captivating legends, it is recounted that Icelandic ships would proudly display the Vegvisir, also referred to as the Nordic compass, as a talisman to guide their safe return home.

In contemporary times, the Vegvisir continues to hold significant cultural value as a symbol of Icelandic heritage. It is also embraced by followers of the Asatru faith as a potent symbol of spiritual guidance and personal affiliation.

Rune Othala pendant

Adorned with intricate Viking ornaments, it showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Vikings.

Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, this sterling silver rune necklace is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Viking jewelry. The rune Othala pendant serves as a powerful symbol of heritage, familial bonds, and the enduring spirit of the Vikings.

Embrace your connection to the Vikings and channel the strength of Odin with this exquisite piece of jewelry.

Here’s another look at Odin’s eye, complete with the story behind it. The father figure of the Norse pantheon is often depicted in ancient art and literature as having only one eye, as shown in the Prose Edda. This is because Odin plucked out his right eye and dropped it into the well of Mimir in exchange for one drink. The sacrifice was part of a ritual to obtain wisdom and knowledge. The physical eye was volunteered willingly as a trade for omniscient sight. A personal sacrifice we can interpret as having incalculable value to a deity and a leader. The glass eye shown here was crafted by Janel Dudley Beads. And it is set in sterling silver hand-fabricated by yours truly. I added Elder Futhark runes in letters corresponding to north, south, east, and west, using the idea of a compass to nod at the eye's all-seeing power. Finished with my newer larger moth maker's mark and double strands of black steel chain. #eyependant #glasseyejewelry #eyejewelry #odin #norsemythology #runejewelry (at Langley, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cox7AnKSqvy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
