In to the Book of Mormon, the Liahona (/ˌliːəˈhoʊnə/)[1] is a brass ball with two spindles, one of which directs where Lehi and his companions should travel after they leave Jerusalem at the beginning of the narrative. Some early participants in the Latter Day Saint movement, believing contrary to mainstream findings that the Book of Mormon described genuinely historical events, claimed to have seen the Liahona. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members have used the Liahona as a namesake, such as in the name of the magazine the Liahona and in the idea of "Liahona Mormons".
