If anyone is interested, It should be pointed out that many of the sigils, like Ægishjámur or Vegvísir are most likely not from the Viking age. As there are no records of them from that time. For instance, the earliest known recording of the Vegvísir was from 1860. Same with Ægishjálmur, which is similarly relatively young. Perhaps the earliest record of it goes back to a late 17th century manuscript, but I am unsure of this. A good video from Dr. Jackson Crawford gives a good explanation on these Icelandic magic symbols, he also has great video series on Old Norse and runes. Regardless, absolutely enjoyed the video!

I do want to add that I heard a story from a witch content creator of a folk witch who would do magic and spells for her community but would invoke "god" or "jesus" so it would make Christian people more comfortable with the practice. So while an area may be considered "Christianised" is doesn't mean everything going on in it is "Christian"

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I am not a PHD or historian but I have researched these topics extensively out of my own personal interests. The Vegvisir and Ægishjálmur are *not* Viking or Norse symbols, they came later than that. The Vegvisir first appears in a Christian Icelandic manuscript called the Huld Manuscript from 1860, it comes from mainland European magic and most likely not anything from the Norse age. The Ægishjálmur is a bit more blurry, as there is a 'helm of awe' referred to in the Eddas, however this item is exactly that, a helmet. The symbol we associate with it does not appear until the 17th century as another occult symbol. I'm not saying they're not authentuc to Iceland, I myself have a Vegvisir tattooed alongside Icelandic runes, but they did not exist alongside the Vikings. Btw, given that you've been inandated with emails about runes Hrafna, I would be happy to take on a few questions about using/transliterating them into the types I am most familiar with. Takk fyrir :) Edit: you hinted to this but we actually have no idea what the Valknut meant or what it's real name was, as 'Valknut' only appeared in the 1940s. We just know it was associated with Óðin because we find it next to depictions of animals like Ravens that he was associated with.

Hi, sorry but the Ægishjálmur and vegvisir are not viking age symbols: The symbol known as "Vegvisír" is an element of Icelandic folklore borrowed from continental occult magic from the "Testament of Solomon". It is around 160 years old and its use is limited to the second half of the 19th century in the Icelandic town of Akureyri. The only literary sources we have that come from Icelandic tradition are some mentions in three manuscripts, which are based on each other. The "Vegvisír" is not a symbol used or having its origins in the Viking Age, and due to the 800-year gap should not be associated with it. The same goes for the Ægishjálmur which appears visually in a 1670 grimoire titled "Galdrakver" in Iceland and the vegvisir in a single collection of magic signs assembled by Geir Vigfússon in 1860 in the "Huld Manuscript" to be more precise. They are both Christian symbols taken from Solomon's testament and found in Iceland in occult magic books. They have no connection with the Viking Age and should not be associated with it ...

Anything Christian has been stolen from every other religion or culture that Christianity decimated in order to take over rule. You actually believe that Christians came up with this symbol on their own no just like their Bible they stole everything else just like the symbols that they felt that they would want to use as well as their own religion.

Anyway, watching your videos has not only given me insight into the language but also Iceland as a country, I feel like very little is known about it even among the Nordic countries, and learning more about Iceland is a major motivation when studying Icelandic. Another motivation is that I'm also very interested in Norse myth and viking history, my hope is that learning Icelandic will give me more insight into this shared Scandinavian heritage. Takk fyrir

man wish i was born in iceland would have loved to read those books as well. i am dutch and we have one province that got alot to thank the vikins for. its the province called Friesland. in the north of the netherlands. the only province that got invaded by the vikings. The frysian language is an very old viking language. ofc it got changed over the years but it roots come from the vikings. they still find viking stuff in the ground. they have found a viking ship as well. yeah viking is an awesome historical culture. well not for the people of those time but still. its very interesting subject.

As many others have commented, the Vegvísir and Ægishjálmur symbols are not remotely "viking". They are Icelandic magical staves. I am currently at university for history and religion and I have a deep interest for this sort of thing. While there are references in the sagas to a "helm of terror", the Ægishjálmur symbol in this video first appears in the Huld manuscript which was written in the 1800s. It's a Christian magic symbol. The Vegvísir is another Christian magical stave that appears in the Huld manuscript. It is also mentioned in the Galdrabók, an Icelandic grimoire dating back to the 1600s, a period WELL after the Viking Age. It's really disappointing that ahistorical information is still being dispersed despite the wide availability to check sources. Even the sources provided in this video confirm that these symbols are not from the Viking Age and that they are actually Christian. Please note that I'm not trying to attack the video creator, nor am I saying that you can't like these symbols or get them tattooed. They're pretty cool magic staves and I understand the appeal, but please just do a bit more research so that people aren't absorbing false information. There are far too many "viking bros" out there making it hard for others to tell fact from fiction.

The Vegvisir is an 18th century Icelandic magical stave that is thought to guide people through storms. It's also used as moral and ethical navigation, to help keep you on the “right path”. There's little evidence to support it actually being used by the Vikings, however that doesn't necessarily mean they didn't. I like the symbol either way. But to me it's more moral and ethical navigation then actual navigation 😅

Wait.. the "Valknut" is not a real thing, its true name should be "Hjarta Hrungnis". according to the poetic Edda. The jötunn's heart had that 3 chambered shape. Long story short: Hrungnir made a bet with Odin saying his horse was much faster than Odin's Sleipnir, of course Hrungnir lost the bet, he entered Valhalla ( or Argard.. i dont remember correctly) and detroyed part of it.. Thor killed him and when oppening his chest, Odin saw the 3 chambered heart ( the so called Valknut) IG: afskyalltyr

I think this is why its symbol is most common with death.

I'd like to hear Hrafna's opinion on the Norse Mythologies book by Neil Gaiman. All authors put their own spin on the legends, but as this one is quite popular, I think it would be cool to hear/see the opinion of someone who has studied the Eddas. Also, Mjolnir has to be one of the best symbols, like many (I imagine) I've got it tattooed.

When I was still a child I used to get crippling fear from recurring dreams about me getting lost and not knowing where I was or how to get home. Until one day someone drew the vegvisir on the back of my neck with charcoal or a lump of coal or something I'm not completely sure and I honestly thought it was a joke or something but it actually worked.

The 2 first symbols arent from the viking/norse age. Those symbols are medieval Icelandic staves, dating to the 17th century ish. Both Ægishjalmur and Vegvisir are commonly mistaken as viking age symbols, but theyre not.
