Learn About Vegvísir

We believe in educating about Viking culture. Below we will share the meaning behind Vegvísir — the stories, ideas, and mythology — as well as the Heritage — where we clarify what is historically accurate or a modern interpretation.

Meaning

The Adventurer's Wayfinder

Vegvísir, known as the Viking Compass, is a sacred symbol from Icelandic tradition. It means “That which shows the way.” Carved with runes, it was believed to protect travelers and lead them home safely, even in the harshest weather. Today, it represents guidance, resilience, and finding your path—both on the road and in life.

Heritage

Find Your Way – Every Day

Though the exact origins of Vegvisir are traced more closely to Icelandic magical symbols from later centuries, its meaning resonates deeply with Viking spirit and seafaring tradition. The Vikings were master navigators, relying on the sun, stars, and their knowledge of the seas to explore lands far beyond their home shores. Symbols of protection and guidance, including runes and talismans, were often etched into their ships, weapons, and amulets to ensure safe passage and divine favor.

The Meaning Behind “Vikheim”

The name Vikheim came to us after deeply exploring what kind of impact we wanted to make in this space. There are many websites and shops focused on Vikings, and we wanted to bring a unique angle. We knew part of this was helping others understand Viking heritage and the stories and meaning within Norse mythology. The purpose was to help others find connection.

Where do people feel they are when they do find a deep, innate connection? Home. The word “Heim” in Old Norse means Home. Merging that into the word “Viking”, we found our name, as the home of Viking, Vikheim.
