The Galdrabok: Forbidden Icelandic Folk Magic

Iceland’s occult symbols, once forbidden by the church and punishable by severe penalties, have undergone a remarkable transformation in recent decades. They now adorn tattoos, video games, and business logos. Most grimoires containing these symbols were confiscated and destroyed, but a few survived, notably the Galdrabók. Folklorist Kári Pálsson presents an accessible English translation of the Galdrabók, including its original Icelandic text and a previously unpublished grimoire, the Jarðskinna manuscript.
