*Vegvisiret is often called a rune or a Viking compass, but there is no source that Vegvisir was known or used during the Viking Age or earlier. Most indications are that Vegvisir is from the time around the 19th century when the Huld manuscript was compiled where the following text can be found:

“The wearer of this symbol will not lose his way during storms and bad weather, even when the road is not known".

After all, the vegvisir has become a symbol of the Old Norse, a symbol of Asatro .
