Summary

In Iceland, trolls walk the mountains, long-dead linger in their burial mounds, and elves suffer no fools. This book presents the myth and lore behind these ancient folk magical practices, drawing from local oral histories, medieval sagas, lawbooks, grimoires, and other sources never before translated to English. Then, put your knowledge into use with an extensive grimoire full of Icelandic staves, spells, charms, and correspondences. Albert Björn returns as our masterful and friendly guide through the contemporary landscape and practices of modern Icelandic Witches and the traditions that inspire them. Take an ársgangur and discover the spirits of your local area on a cold winter night. Drum up the spirits of the wood, burn offerings for the draconic spirits of volcanic lava fields, and learn to call on the old gods and the new in harmony. The magic of the north is waiting.
