"If one has this sign with him, he will not get lost in the storms in time, even if he is unknown."
From a quote from the Huld manuscript in 1880, it may seem that Vegvisir is known for his Viking compass, which is why we see this popular emblem on Viking shields, as tattoos, in music bands, on clothes and amulets.
Further translation and research by the author of an article about Vegvisir on sagy.vikingove.net might surprise some fans of the symbol: If you believe in it, it will serve you - if you believe in God in the name of Jesus - the meaning of that sign is in these words, so you will not perish. God give me happiness and blessings in the name of Jesus. ”
How old is the symbol, and what did it actually mean when someone first engraved it by candlelight? The feelings you may have when looking at it are yours alone, whether the origin of the symbol is Viking or Christian.
