Vegvísir:

Literally meaning “Way-wiser,” this symbol is likely of much later origin than Viking or proto-Norse times, but still has been called the “Viking compass” by many.

It maintains popularity due to its mystical inscription in the Huld Manuscript from Iceland. Here it is stated that the symbol will prevent the wearer from losing their way, even “in storms or bad weather, (and) even when the way is not known.”

Regardless of whether the Vikings used it, clearly Vegvísir still promotes a magical mindset and a purpose of useful enchantment.
