Viking Compass Explained in two parts.
Vegvisir ( middle part of compass believed to originate from Icelandic history) Composed of eight rune staves, this symbol is known as a symbol of protection.
It's believed that this symbol was used by the vikings to aid them through the waters ensuring they would not get lost & would find their way back.
Surrounding the Vegvisir is the runic symbols As well as being a literal alphabet used during the Viking ages, runes were (and still are by some) believed to hold power, symbolize inherent qualities and values and be associated with magic, as well as having meanings in more modern divination and oracle reading practices too.
The combination of these two has been referred to often as the viking compass or Nordic Compass.
