About Gungnir:

Gungnir is a legendary spear in Norse mythology, famously associated with Odin, the chief of the Norse gods. This mythical weapon is renowned for its unparalleled accuracy and lethality, often depicted as never missing its mark. According to legend, Gungnir was crafted by the dwarves, the master blacksmiths of Norse mythology, which adds to its mystique and power. Its design is typically depicted as an elegantly long spear, often adorned with runic inscriptions or symbols that may represent its magical properties. Gungnir is not just a weapon but also a symbol of authority and power, embodying Odin's wisdom and warlike nature.

About Vegvisir:

Vegvísir is known as Iceland's compass. Loosely translated, it means “Direction pointer”. However, it can also have spiritual significance, as a compass of the soul - so that Vegvisir bearers never lose sight of their lifestyle or vision of their purpose.

Although there are arguments that symbols such as Aegishjalmur and Vegvisir are Icelandic rather than Norse in nature, both symbols are described in Norse mythology (Poetic Edda). Since most Icelanders are direct descendants of the Vikings of Denmark and Norway, we can confidently say that the symbols are at the very least part of Norse culture.
