#HULD MANUSCRIPT MAGICKAL SIGNS FULL#
However all three of these Icelandic magic books are also chock full of Norse magic, Norse gods and Norse mythology.
These three Icelandic magic books (that are the first in history to contain the Vegvisir symbol) do indeed mention elements of Christianity and one of the three books (the youngest of the three) specifically ties a Christianity message to the Vegvisir symbol. However, we propose that there is a LOT more to the story (including the assumed connection to the Solomon symbols). Some of them are written by friends who have written for our Viking History blog and in whom we highly respect. There are two main and very understandable reasons why people believe this (we will cover both extensively below).Īnd yes, we are well aware of the online articles that make this claim. it is the popular assumption that this symbol is a 'Christian symbol' (or that it has nothing to do with post-Viking history) that we would like to challenge. The reason being is that the oldest known mentioning of this symbol is found within three different 19th-century Icelandic books which are a collection of ancient Norse magic, spells, runic alphabets and magical symbols and sigils, that also include random mentions of Christianity.Īnyone sharing the above facts would be making an accurate and fair statement.
With that said, it is important to acknowledge upfront that there is indeed zero proof that this symbol was ever actually used by the Vikings. Because this symbol is known as 'The WayFinder' and because it comes to us from Iceland (which was originally founded and populated by Vikings and their descendants), a popular nickname for this symbol has since become the ' Viking Compass' or 'Norse Compass'. and despised symbols within the Viking enthusiast community.
