It only appears in the Huld manuscript, compiled in Iceland in 1860 by Geir Vigfússon, which collects \u003ci\u003egaldrastafir\u003c\/i\u003e—Icelandic magical signs. The accompanying text promises the bearer that they will not lose their way in bad weather. Eight centuries separate this manuscript from the Viking Age, and no excavation has ever yielded this design. It is therefore not a Viking compass: it is a 19th-century Icelandic talisman, which is a real tradition in its own right—just not the one it is attributed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo learn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/tatouage-vegvisir-boussole-viking-signification\" title=\"Vegvisir Tattoo: The Viking Compass and its Meaning\"\u003eour article on the Vegvísir and its actual dating\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other items you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-loup-blanc-vegvisir-imprime-integral\" title=\"White Wolf and Vegvísir Full Print Viking T-Shirt\"\u003eWhite Wolf and Vegvísir Full Print Viking T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-symbole-odin-stylise-gris-coton\" title=\"Iron Gray Stylized Odin Symbol Viking T-Shirt in Cotton\"\u003eIron Gray Stylized Odin Symbol Viking T-Shirt in Cotton\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-corbeau-cercle-encre-runes-coton\" title=\"Raven Ink Circle and Runes Viking Cotton T-Shirt\"\u003eRaven Ink Circle and Runes Viking Cotton T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57872621437310,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-01","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57872621404542,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-02","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57872621371774,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-03","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57872621339006,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-04","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57872621568382,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-05","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57872621535614,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-06","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57872621502846,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-07","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":57872621470078,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-08","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6XL","offer_id":57872621306238,"sku":"LCV-TS-029-09","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/tee-shirt-viking-vegvisir-colonne-runes-coton-porte_f979b7c8-0d08-4ea3-88bd-55b0662a02dd.jpg?v=1787233902","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-vegvisir-colonne-runes-coton","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
