The Aegishjalmur, which is commonly referred to as the Helm of Awe, is an emblematic representation of protection and strength among the Viking symbols. This particular Viking symbol is an eight-pointed star that features intersecting lines at its center. It held great significance for the Vikings as it was believed to have helped them secure triumph in battles.

This ancient symbol has been found inscribed on helmets since the 6th century—but it's origins are much older than that. In fact, it's believed that the word "helm" comes from "halm," which means "wave," and the Aegishjalmur is thought to represent wave patterns in its design.

According to Norse tradition, wearing or displaying "norse symbols" such as the Aegishjalmur is believed to provide protection from falsehood, slander, sorcery, and other potential harms to one's life.

Mark your moments with these beautifully crafted ornaments, perfect for adding warmth and meaning to your holiday celebrations.
