An honest note on the symbol: the Helm of Awe is an Icelandic magical stave recorded in manuscripts from centuries after the Viking Age, where it is described as a charm for protection and courage — it has not been found on Viking-Age artifacts. The runes ringing it are the Elder Futhark, the oldest runic alphabet. Decode them yourself with our free rune translator, or browse more protective designs in our Viking jewelry collection.
