Viking Solar Amulets:
Although the Vikings left limited written records about their beliefs, historical evidence suggests that solar symbols held significance in Viking culture. The sunstone, a crystal found in a Viking-era shipwreck, was used for navigation even during cloudy weather, emphasizing the importance of the sun in their worldview.
Common Viking sun symbols include the solar wheel, representing the sun's journey across the sky, and the solar cross, often depicted as a circle or disk at the center of a cross. These symbols were found on various Viking-era artifacts, such as jewelry, weapons, and runestones. It is believed that solar amulets like this may have been worn for spiritual protection or to embody the sun's power and guidance.
