Galdrastafir: Historical Icelandic Magic Symbols

In the 1800s and early 1900s, Icelandic magical symbols (galdrastafir), once forbidden, saw a decline in tradition while gaining scholarly interest. Jónas Jónasson, a priest, folklore collector, and antiquarian, compiled historical Icelandic magic symbols before his death in 1918. His manuscript Galdrastafir presents this material in full with supplementary items, including an introduction by Alessia Bauer, photographs by Giorgia Sottotetti, and illustrations by collective Leodrune. This book is perfect for those interested in Icelandic folklore, runology, and the occult.
