Icelandic Magic: Practical Secrets of the Northern Grimoires.
Rochester, VT: Inner Traditions, 2016. First Edition - First Printing. Softcover. xx + 140pp (iipp). Glossy card covers. Line drawings. From the publisher: "During the Christianization of Europe in the Middle Ages, many books of magic were lost as the ancient pagan traditions were suppressed. But in Iceland the practice of recording magical spells in books continued in secret for centuries, on a scale not seen elsewhere. Now housed in the National Library in Reykjavík, these surviving grimoires, which represent only a hundredth of what was lost, reveal a rich magical tradition that continued to evolve into the 20th century." This book is a study of the history and practice of Icelandic Magic drawn from these sources and others. Appears unused, thus a tight, clean Fine copy. Item #70467
