Norse Dual Stave in Iron, Vegvisir and Helm of Awe

$22.00

When one stave isn't enough

This solid iron coin was struck with 80 tons of force between our hand-engraved steel Vegvisir and Helm of Awe dies! After that it's given a durable black oxide coating that won't readily rust and can be regularly handled.

Vegvisir Wayfinder

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.

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 Helm of Awe

Ægishjálmur, or Œgishjalmr` or in English, “The Helm of Awe”, is a Nordic magical Stave which is meant to imbue its carrier with protection, and inspire victory in battle. We like to imagine helping in the day to day challenges of every day life, and how the stave might remind its carrier how strong they truly are at heart.

Algiz, or “Z-Runes” Make up the foundations of the 8 main symbols-- forks emitting from a central point which are on the offensive and protecting the center.

The Norse Dual Stave is struck from solid iron, measures 3.3 cm in diameter, and weighs about 33 grams.

Quality is the word

Extremely pleased with the quality of the material and stamping process. The weight is perfect. Not too heavy but it definitely feels substantial in my hand and pocket. A great reminder that I do not finish when tired, but rather when I am done with what I need to do. Pairs great with my Memento Mori/Vivre coin.
