Description
The magic of Iceland is known to all those who have set foot on this seemingly desolate rock in the North Atlantic. Mystical staves, crafty hidden folk, and the dangerous ghosts of long dead priests all have their place within the magic of the island. However, our plant life tends to go unnoticed. Hiding in the shadows of a misty mountain or thriving in the warmth of a geothermal stream, the plants of this island hold potent magic that is waiting to be called upon.
Albert Shiell (@sussex_pellar) has done a beautiful job of combining the wisdom and magic of these mystical plants into a beautifully illustrated tome. The book is filled with magical lore, potent spells, and mystical formulas that will allow the practitioner of the magical arts to create incredible changes in their lives.
Advance Praise
“Albert Bjorn’s book, Icelandic Plant Magic, described as a “green grimoire”, explores an often neglected area of Norse magic. Instead of runes and sigils, it deals with the lore and practices surrounding the plants, trees, rocks, and animals found in traditional charms. A synthesis of traditional magic, folklore, and modern magical practice, it includes a rich index of traditional plants and their properties and uses, as well as descriptions of ritual and magical tools and practices. It offers the reader a chance to experience another world of knowledge and to forge a personal understanding and connection to the magic of nature.”
- Alice Karlsdóttir, author of Norse Goddess Magic
