100% agree with you brother, we need to focus on the true past. Thank you for sharing

Love the way you tell these stories :) really interesting where these symbols could have come from. I always imagine old wifes tales being passed down many generations when I hear that we have no idea where stuff actually came from.

I have a vegvisir tattoo back in 2014. I got it in Iceland during a science fellowship as a bond with my Icelandic brothers and sisters in ásatrúarfélagið.

Wait, what's wrong with horse liver and blood smearing? :-))

Yeah, I'm subscribing. This is the type of videos we need. Folks talking about facts and not spreading false information. GREAT video, I'll be referencing you and your website in my future videos.

Okay your editing is AMAZING! ur underrated

Thank you for adding historically accurate perspective. Tak

Very educational brother 👍

Another excellent video. Thanks!

Its funny to me that I could figure out what it means, sort of. Vegvisir had a same kind of sound as the Dutch word 'wegwijzer'. Where Weg means; road of path. An Wijzer means; pointer or something that points in a direction.

I was trained in the pagan tradition by the women of my family and from my father’s and mother’s villages located in Southern Poland in the Carpathian Mountains. I did not realize people thought this symbol was Viking. I agree with you 100%. This symbol is very ancient and very important to my people. This is clearly a traditional ancient Slavic Pagan symbol of great protection. We use it to protect ourselves for many different reasons. Thank you for clarifying this for people. You are doing both your heritage and my heritage a great service. Thank you so incredibly much for this, my friend.

This information is much appreciated! I am always trying to understand the source of symbols. It's interesting how everyone seems to lump Vegvisir into Viking lore when the evidence is just not there. This is also a beautifully made video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

The Vegvisir and Galdrastafir are based on Seal of Solomon magical symbols from old grimoires. It makes sense that by the 1860s, Christian and Jewish esoteric magical practices would have blended with what remained of the Norse tradition in Iceland.

Christmas was existed prior to the conversion of Scandinavian lands. But I still found the rest of the video interesting and insightful, however, if this claim is not correct I wonder what else might be incorrect. Great job on the quality of the editing!

The Staves look very similar to the stone mason marks on the stone blocks at the ancient temple ruins of Knossos.

Spot on Brother.

Consolidate your model by reading "The Dharma Manifesto" and our Own Oera Linda. Washail! from a Saxon.

I came across your videos absolutely enjoy them, what books are you looking into would love to know. I activate symbols, make some of my own. But I started making some of the old symbols to see actually what they do. And they are very interesting and remarkable. For instance the shield the protective symbol does just that. I have tested it on people and it is truly remarkable. Would love to know the books you’re referring to to find more!

I like what it means, and Icelanders have continued the development of the culture and the old religion sure, but something people forget so very often is that hearth culture seems to have been absolutely paramount to all Nordic peoples during the dark and middle ages, over and above regional or national culture, so a symbol used or ritual performed by one family, clan, tribe or Jarldom might have only been used by those groups, so only hold meaning within them and may otherwise be completely meaningless to everyone else.

Child of hel here love this video

This “Wayfinder” looks just like a Norse Version of the Modern Symbol for: North, North-East, East, South-East, South, South-West, West and North-West to me tbh? It could be that simple? It doesn’t always have to be something esoteric, does it?

Possibly has origins in ancient Phoenician sea traders!!

You mention that Vegvisir is similar to the lesser key of Solomon. But fail to mention that on page 25 of the Huld manuscript (Handrit.is), where the Vegvisir is found, is an image entitled Solomon's insignia, which is from the lesser key of Solomon.

Hi, thank you for sharing this information about rune staves whit us, really 😇🙏 But i wonder about something... maybe it's a weird thing to ask ☺️ but i wonder : Does it Mathers from which way or side we should draw a runestave /rune, for example for protection or love and so on ??? does it work if i draw a runestave even though i dont know from which way to begin to draw !!!???🙏🤔 love and light to all 😇

Is the vegvisir the same as the aegishjalmur?

I do not directly correlate Vegvísir to Vikings. I am Norse Pagan though. There's a lot of misconceptions spread by shows like "Vikings". I see it as solely a magical stave/sigil and nothing more.

Vegviser is a compass used together with a sunstone icelandicfeltspar, what you have is a drawing of the compass ,not the actually compass, that was used combined too navigate with . the old Nordic knowledge have been turned up side down, by the Tribe of Dan, that invaded denmark (mark of dan), and made the danes in too warrior nation wich we not was at all Vikings is not a age too be proud of as a Dane but the time before we had vast knowledge perfect astronomy based on the flat earth model that why jul was celebrated it simply is a greating too the sun and its heavenly wheel there is much globe belivers never will understand and Denmark was not our name for this aera

so basically it is a magical stave of protection and guidance not a viking symbol?

When people have this tattoo i automatically know they know nothing about norse history and think they are Viking because they watched the drama show

oh you're not wrong. something fishy about most of the history we have been presented with by academia. Also looks like the Chiro from roman empire. Sun worship. Also skull and crossbones society. Possibly suplanted on vikings same with the name "Vikings". I feel the true norse were not actually pirates, its the other way around. Venecians and Roman Catholic church are the pirates. what would i know, im from australia where aparently as we are told we all live upsidedown. lol. just saying.

This is another distortion of our past. Not intentional, merely accidentally drawn. The symbol was a calendar, compass and not those used by the hunter gathers over 8000 years ago. It allowed for the navigation and time of migration of the Pagans. This is why it is called the Wayfarer. The Priest carried the knowledge and the leaders carried the power. Together they governed the tribes. Every King had his Magician, or spiritual leader to compliment himself. Over time the Hunter gatherers stopped the migration and the need of the way to navigate was no longer needed. Until someone in the 17 th century liberated the symbol now used. However, this is not the true Wayfarer. The true Wayfarer is a necklace. Want to know more . Email me. Bob I have

On and on and on, yammer, yammer endless repition of saying nothing, rubbish

The Dipylon Inscription could be the earliest Greek written language. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipylon_inscription#/media/File:Transcription_of_the_Dipylon_Oinochoe_Inscription.jpg Observe that some of the letters closely resemble Runes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipylon_inscription#/media/File:NAMA_Dipylon_Oinochoe.JPG This must be the origins of the Vegvisir.
