The Vegvisir 

The Vegvisir takes its name from the combination of the Icelandic words vegur (road or path) and visir, the closest translation of which in this context is "guide". Its most basic meaning is that of traffic sign or guide. From this we can deduce the meaning of vegvisir - the runic compass.

But how does the Vegvisir's compass work?

Well, it is used in a way magical . It should not be confused with a real Viking compass.

Of course, as experienced sailors, the Vikings were used to traveling on open bodies of water, and for this they had to use something to navigate.

THE vegvisir is an object of Norse magic. It is supposed to be carried by a person going through storms or bad weather.
