This altar is engraved with a Vegvisir and Helm of Awe.

A Vegvísir is an icelandic stave intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather. The symbol is attested in the huld manuscript, collected in Iceland by Geir Vigfusson in 1880 (but consisting of material of earlier origin). A leaf of the manuscript provides an image of the vegvísir, gives its name, and, in prose, declares that "if this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known".

The Helm of Awe or Helm of Terror (Ægishjálmr) is an Icelandic magical stave. A physical object called "Helm of Terror" is referenced as one item Sigurd takes from the dragon Fafnir's hoard after he slays him in Völsunga saga. It is a symbol used for protection.

**All bones sold at Oreamnos Oddities are ethically sourced. We never buy bones to re-sell which means everything for sale is limited, found while hiking and each and every bone is cleaned/processed by hand. It is important to us to honor these animals within pagan rituals and to harvest naturally as we want all of our ritual pieces to be created with good intention**
