Viking leather bracer Vegvisir & Drakar

Vegvisir, also known as The Viking compass, is one of the most famous Icelandic magical staves or galdrastafir.

The galdrastafir were supposedly used to channel magic in specific ways such as fertility, guidance through a storm, and protection in battle, guidance, and assistance with specific tasks or areas of life. Those effects would be different depending on their shape.
In many cases, the symbols were made by combining the runes that made up the Old Norse alphabet. They were drawn onto specific areas of the body or physical objects, such as the side of boats or buildings

Pronounced “VEGG-vee-seer”, means “That Which Shows the Way” so finally it means "the pointer of the way" and translates to "sign post" or "way finder".
It is an eight-pointed shape, with each point having a unique design, and is described as follows:

“If this sign is carried, one will never lose one’s way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known.”

And so, the symbol was drawn onto the forehead to ensure that the person didn’t get lost when leaving home. Supposedly, it was drawn with blood.

Bracers are both an important piece of armor and a way to clearly distinguish the origin of your character.

The bracers are essential for any period, medieval or fantasy cosplay, and without them, most of the outfits seem unfinished.
