    "...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 keychain 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 or simply watch it spin. 

    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 bronze 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.

    A wondrous gift for your travels

    I couldn't be happier with this. The presentation was incredible. I kinda don't want to spoil it for anyone but It came in a fantastic letter with a wax seal of the vegvisr! Are you kidding me it's so beautiful. There is so much love that goes into their products no doubt.

    The vegvisr itself looks Amazing and it's on both sides. I most definitely will be buying from them again. I am extremely impressed.. 5 stars without a doubt. Whoever you are that did my vegvisr you have a gift! Thank you so much.

    I'm so glad you like it! We have a lot of fun putting packages together :)
