Book Synopsis Vegvisir - Viking Compass and Kristi Kors: A Tale of Rescue. by : William Van Zyl
Download or read book Vegvisir - Viking Compass and Kristi Kors: A Tale of Rescue. written by William Van Zyl and published by Five House Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-29 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever found yourself in a life-or-death situation? Have you stood at a crossroads in your life, unsure of which path to take? Do you battle with despondency and mental health challenges? Has a grim health diagnosis left you reeling? Perhaps you've had to make a significant sacrifice? The Vikings possessed a remarkable symbol known as the Runic Cross, a variation of the Vegvisir, resembling a compass. This emblem served as a source of guidance and protection, intricately etched onto stones or rings, transforming it into a potent talisman. The Vegvisir, also called the runic compass or the Viking compass/Nordic compass, incorporated eight Viking rune staves, symbolising both protection and guidance. Vikings are believed to have relied on this unique symbol as a compass during their journeys. In Iceland, "vegvisir" translates to 'Wayfinder' and 'Signpost.' Also, I'd like to touch upon the Viking Sunstone, a practical navigation tool that indicated the sun's location when it was obscured from view, offering invaluable assistance to seafarers. My fascination with all things Viking leads me to draw intriguing comparisons between the Vegvisir and the Cross, adding an element of fun to the exploration.

Book Synopsis Navigating Stormy Seas: The Runic Compass (Vegvisir) as a Guiding Light. by : William Van Zyl
Download or read book Navigating Stormy Seas: The Runic Compass (Vegvisir) as a Guiding Light. written by William Van Zyl and published by Five House Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-04 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Call me Agnarok’. Let me tell you about that fateful day in the Winter of 1016. A primal tempest, a symphony of chaos, bellowed its fury upon the Viking longship, an ageing behemoth defiantly marked by the snarling dragon carved upon its bow. In their unrestrained wrath, the heavens flung bolts of lightning that violently shattered the abyss beneath, revealing a sea possessed by a maddened tumult. The ocean was fuming; its mouth frothing. Thunder rolls, lightning strikes, and the hammer flies across the sky. Somewhere on the violently unsteady ship, a Viking called to Thor.................... I have included the dramatic introduction to set the scene of a Viking ship in a tumultuous storm. The Viking seafarers were desperate to survive the elements. Did you recognise the similarity to the opening line of Herman Melville’s famous novel Moby Dick? ‘Call me Ishmael.’ (Moby Dick) The context of this article is the World of Vikings and navigation in life. Let’s look at the vegvisir in more detail. A true story: A work colleague of mine - who became a good friend over 2 years ago - was farewelled the other day (2023). He had recently tattooed a Norse name around his left forearm. Yes, you have guessed it: the Norse had an alphabet. This friend, let me call him Agnarok, has a passion for all things Viking and Norse. I made him a farewell card with a drawing of Runic Compass on the front and a couple of special words on the inside. Here are some of the words from the card. In Norwegian: Vi ønsker deg alt godt for fremtiden. *(godt = well) In English: We wish you all the very best for the future. This short eBook looks at the Viking's Runic compass - called a vegvisir - and navigation.

Book excerpt: How was the Norse Navigator able to shape his course across the North Atlantic long before the invention of the magnetic compass? This book tells the story of the Viking Sun Compass and how it allowed the Vikings to sail across the Atlantic. In 1948, the Danish archaeologist C.L. Veb�k found the remains of a small wooden disc at the Viking Age site of Uunartoq in Greenland. Since then the Master mariners Carl V. Sver and Sen Thirslund have interpreted this find as a navigational instrument. This book is the essence of more than forty years of archaeological studies, discussions and practical sea-going experiments. The author gives a full account of the history of the find and demonstrates convincingly how Viking Age Navigators could make use of this and other simple devices in order to find their way across the vastness of the Northern Atlantic.

Book Synopsis Bomb, Book and Compass by : Simon Winchester
Download or read book Bomb, Book and Compass written by Simon Winchester and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before fate intervened, Joseph Needham was a distinguished biochemist at Cambridge University, married to a fellow scientist. In 1937 he was asked to supervise a young Chinese student named Lu Gwei-Djen, and in that moment began the two greatest love affairs of his life - Miss Lu, and China. Miss Lu inspired Needham to travel to China where he initially spent three dangerous years as a wartime diplomat. He established himself as the pre-eminent China scholar of all time, firm in his belief that China would one day achieve world prominence. By the end of his life, Needham had become a truly global figure, travelling endlessly and honoured by all - though banned from America because of his politics. And in 1989, after a fifty-two year affair, he finally married the woman who had first inspired his passion. The Magnificent Barbarian is Simon Winchester at his best - at once a magnificent portrait of one man's remarkable life and a riveting exploration of the country that so engaged him.
