Aegishjalmur, or the Helm of Awe, is an Icelandic magical symbol of protection, also called stave, which has the power to induce fear and to protect against abuse of power. Early Vikings used to inscribe it on the forehead between the eyes. Aegishjalmur's main purpose was to protect and dominate in battle and also to instill fear and conquer fear in own mind.
Ancient manuscripts explain that Vegvísir symbolizes a moral compass of sorts that guide one when they have lost their way. These manuscripts state "if this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known".
