The Vegvisir, also known as the Viking compass, is not a rune. Runes are an ancient alphabet used by the Germanic peoples of Northern Europe, primarily the Scandinavians, during the Viking Age. The Vegvisir is a symbol found in the Icelandic magical staves, a collection of symbols and sigils used for various purposes in Norse magic. While the Vegvisir is often associated with Norse and Viking culture, it is not a rune.
