Amulet Aegishjalmur This eye-catching amulet represents the old Viking symbol Aegishjalmur, the eightfold wheel that symbolizes order and perfection.
The term comes from the Old Norse and is a combination of the terms Aegis and hjalmur, which
means something like shield or staff. The symbol is on the one hand a good luck charm, but on the other hand it is also a protective symbol, as its meaning protects against the perception of the enemy and strengthens the strength and will of the wearer.
It has its origin in Icelandic magic and is one of the so-called Galdrastafirs. They are considered to be a very simple yet extremely effective type of magic. It was usually worn on the forehead between the eyebrows, and it was also found on pendants or rings. The Viking symbol was considered so powerful that the newly invading faith of Christians forbade the symbol and even punished wearing it with death.
Today it is one of the most popular symbols in the Middle Ages, which is why you can find it on all objects such as jewelry, t-shirts, banners, etc.
