According to the Huld Manuscript, written by Geir Vigfusson in 1860 and consisting mostly of spells made with runic scripts, the Vegvisir symbol used in Scandinavian geography is a talisman used to prevent the person going on a journey from getting lost. Even if the person carrying this symbol does not know where he is going, he will not lose his way even in storms and bad weather.

Said journey does not have to be an actual air, land or sea journey, but means any journey, adventure or choice in one's life path.

Dr. Jackson Crawford says that the vegvisir symbol is not written in runic script, but is used as a talisman. It is believed that Vikings used it, especially on long and difficult sea voyages.

The Vegvisir symbol is a symbol commonly associated with the Aegishjalmr. The symbol is a Viking symbol consisting of rune wands. The vegvisir, also known as the Viking compass or the runic compass, is believed to guide travelers and ensure a safe return home.

Viking ships carried vegvisir as a talisman to protect the ship and its crew from destruction at sea.

The word Vegvisir is a combination of two Scandinavian words. 'vegur' meaning path and 'visir' meaning marker or guide. For this reason, the symbol is known as the 'Marker of the Path'. Vegvisir has eight directions, symbolizing many paths.

Vikings, great sailors, carried vegvisir with them or tattooed them on their foreheads. Because they believed that this symbol would always take them back home.

The current version of Vegvisir comes from Iceland's three Grimoires, the book of spells and sorcery, written in the mid-1800s. One of these, the Huld Manuscript, contains a series of magical Norse symbols. Vegvisir is also featured as a symbol used to guide people to the right path in harsh weather conditions. He mentions Vegvisir as follows:

“Even if the person carrying this symbol does not know where he is going, he will not lose his way even in storms and bad weather.”

Similar interpretations for the symbol are found in two other manuscripts.

The Vikings were originally a talisman to return home, bringing them guidance and safety on their journey to the vegvisir. It later became a powerful talisman for those who had no direction in life or had lost the right direction. Vegvisir is believed to provide you with the guidance you are looking for and help you make the right choices for your life.

The symbol also reminds those who use it that on a spiritual level, they will always guide them through the twists and turns of life, and that they will constantly find that safe haven back within themselves as their spiritual home.

Vegvisir is sometimes depicted with a circle of rune letters around it. Runes are the letters of the Vikings writing system known as the runic alphabet.

The Vegvisir is still considered worthy of being carried and tattooed today as a symbol of protection and direction. It is also a symbol that anyone can relate to, as it is not a religious symbol and has a universal meaning and significance.
