Vegvísir & Gungnir Symbol Engraved Ring

Embark on a journey through the realms of Norse mythology with this remarkable ring. Its crown features a detailed etching of the Vegvisir symbol, a powerful stave often referred to as the 'Viking Compass.' Crafted during times when Christianity began to intertwine with Norse traditions, Vegvisir symbolizes guidance and protection during travels across land and sea.

Surrounding the Vegvisir etching, intricate Nordic artistry weaves a tapestry of cultural significance and mythic allure. On both sides of the ring, the symbols of Gungnir, Odin's spear, stand proudly. In the Poetic Edda's Völuspá, Odin's pivotal act of throwing a spear over an assembly of Vanir gods, possibly Gungnir, marks the onset of the Æsir-Vanir War.

Sigrdrífumál, another poetic source, reveals that runes were carved on the tip of Gungnir, imparting magical properties to the spear. In the Prose Edda's Gylfaginning, Odin's role in Ragnarök unfolds as he rides in front of the Einherjar, clad in gold, donning an impressive cloak of mail, and wielding Gungnir to confront the wolf Fenrir.

Skáldskaparmál delves into the creation of Gungnir by the skilled dwarves known as the Sons of Ivaldi under the mastery of the blacksmith dwarf Dvalin. Obtained by Loki through a scheme, Gungnir is described as a perfectly balanced spear, capable of striking any target with unmatched precision.

This ring encapsulates the essence of these legendary symbols, inviting you to carry a piece of Norse mythology and history with you, an embodiment of guidance, protection, and the enduring strength of Odin's mighty spear.
