The Legends and Lore of Iceland’s Magicians

The student of Icelandic magic is lucky to have so many resources available to learn about the art of galdor. We have the books of magic, as well as a good idea about the people who practiced this form of magic. We can also study its deeper background. One of the most valuable resources is the rather substantial folklore surrounding the magicians who were active at the time this form of magic was taking shape. What follows here is a series of translations of actual Icelandic folklore material. They are arranged in roughly chronological order with regard to the time periods in which the magician lived. All of the individuals described are actual historical persons, but the events surrounding their lives may have been embellished by myth and legend. This represents a short selection of material that exists in Icelandic literature.
