Aegishjalmur, the Helm of Awe, is an Icelandic magical stave. It symbolises strength, protection and victory in battle. The symbol used for the reference in the sagas came from the Huld manuscript written and collected in 1847. It was used as a part of a Christian magic ritual that have had some movements rooted in Icelandic culture.

The Viking compass / vegvísir is an Icelandic magical stave intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather. The Vegvisir, also known as the runic compass or the Icelandic runes/Nordic compass made of eight rune staves, is a symbol of protection and guidance believed to be used as a compass by Vikings. The word vegvisir means 'wayfinder' and 'sign post' in Icelandic language. Known colloquially as “The Viking Compass” or “The Nordic Compass” it can often be seen on viking-inspired tattoos, jewellery and illustrations, and even in video games, such as Valheim.

All of our wooden products are made with locally crafted, speciality laser ply from gorgeous Australian woods. The plywood is 3mm thick and is created from multiple fine sheets of wood to create a sturdy yet lightweight material. Plywood is highly durable and can be easily cleaned. In the event that the wood bends or warps in extreme heat or damp, it can be flattened out with a light spray of water (if too dry) and laid flat under a small weight in a cool, dry place. Due to the natural qualities of real wood, each piece we make will be unique in colour and grain.
