A Vegvisir (Icelandic ‘sign post’) is an Icelandic magical stave intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather. The symbol is attested in the Huld Manuscript, collected in Iceland by Geir Vigfusson in (but consisting of material of earlier origin). A leaf of the manuscript provides an image of the vegvisir, gives its name, and, in prose, declares that “if this sign is carried, one will never lose one’s way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known”. Icelandic magical staves (sigils) are symbols called Galdrastafur in Icelandic, and are credited with magical effect preserved in various grimoires dating from the th century and later. According to the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft, the effects credited to most of the staves were very relevant to the average Icelanders of the time, who were mostly subsistence farmers and had to deal with harsh climatic conditions. Runes are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets, which were used to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialized purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark; the Anglo-Saxon variant is futhorc. Runology is the study of the runic alphabets, runic inscriptions, runestones, and their history. Runology forms a specialised branch of Germanic linguistics. The earliest runic inscriptions date from around AD. The characters were generally replaced by the Latin alphabet as the cultures that had used runes underwent Christianisation, by approximately AD in central Europe and AD in northern Europe. However, the use of runes persisted for specialized purposes in northern Europe. Until the early th century, runes were used in rural Sweden for decorative purposes in Dalarna and on Runic calendars.
