Vegvisir Norse Compass Bronze Keyring
The Vegvísir Guides the Way Through the Storm
Solid bronze, 12 grams
"...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.

Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
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 :)
I ordered this because the other one was too thick. I have two of these now. They are light weight, with nice deep engraving. Unlikely to wear down against your keys, if it does it will require years of wear. I would recommend these to any Norse Enthusiast or Pagans who follow that faith.
Ordered this for my husband for our anniversary and i am thrilled! The customer service was amazing and fast and shipping and packaging was perfect. The vegvisir was well made and my husband was happy! 10 stars ❤️
I really like this keyring. Perfect size & thickness and so nicely designed, thank you!
This is fantastic it looks exactly like the picture. The rune is on both sides to. This is absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend.
I'm glad you like it! May it help you always find the best way forward. 😊
