The vegvísir is one of a number of magical symbols and spells collected in 19th century Iceland and gathered into the Huld Manuscript. While this symbol is often toted as Viking symbol of Norse paganism, the truth of the matter is that we have no evidence of its presence or use in the pre-Christian Nordic. It's only attestation is from this one modern manuscript. While some of the symbols and ideas may have their origins in ancient Scandinavia, there is no evidence for their use prior to this manuscript. In addition, much of the information in Huld MSS shows sign of Christian influence. The long and short of it: there is so much we don't know.
