While the magical symbol was probably originally created for sailors, who set out to new lands with little idea where they were going, in modern Asatru, it is used as a symbol of spiritual guidance. According to the text, if you use the symbol, you will never lose your way, even if you don’t know where you are going.

Many contemporary people commented on the good hygiene of the Vikings, including caring for their hair and bathing once a week.

If the Vikings did wear time pieces, they would have been made from natural materials, like these wooden watches. In Scandinavia, there are months where the sun barely sets, and months where it is rarely seen. This is why the division between the summer season and the winter seasons were so important. We don’t know how the Vikings told time, but they probably used the passage of the sun across the sky to count the hours. Each comes in a finely carved wooden gift box with a complimentary wooden comb.
