The Vegvisir — meaning "wayfinder" in Old Norse — appears in the Huld Manuscript, an Icelandic collection of magical staves compiled in 1847 from older folk traditions. It was drawn or worn as a symbol of orientation: the belief that one who carries it will find their way through storms, known and unknown (Huld Manuscript, National Museum of Iceland, compiled 1847).
