The symbol vegvisir actually represents the compass. Viking pirates can't live without the sea. Of course, they have their own methods to identify the direction, such as the sun stone, or rely on visual clues such as the sun and constellations. However, they often plunder at sea, and the consequences of shipwreck are also fatal. Naturally, they don't want to lose direction at sea.
Vegvisir has this symbol of blessing. Vegvisir also represents the route we adhere to in the spiritual journey, or after all the ups and downs, twists and turns, we find our own way in life.
