Join us on a captivating day tour into the mystical world of Icelandic witchcraft, where ancient traditions of Pagan magic, sorcery, and seiðr (Norse shamanism) come alive. Travel through the rugged landscape of the Westfjords, crossing the land of the Sagas, where folklore and history intertwine.

Your journey begins with an exploration of Iceland's rich literary and cultural roots, tracing the origins of the Sagas that have shaped the nation's identity. You’ll uncover the ancient traditions of witches, sorcerers, seers, and völva (female shamans) who once practiced their craft, often invoking the power of the gods through runic magic and the magical staves known as galdrastafir.

As you continue westward, you'll visit the Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft, a unique and immersive experience where you can learn about Iceland's dark magical past. Step inside the Sorcerer's Cottages at Strandir, where the chilling story of the last witch burning in Iceland in the late 19th century still echoes through the remote landscape.

Delve deeper into the secrets of Icelandic witchcraft as you explore old manuscripts of magic, including the legendary Galdrabók, a book of spells and runic knowledge. Discover how these ancient texts were used for healing, divination, and even curses, offering an intriguing glimpse into a time when magic was a powerful, often feared force.

This immersive tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with Iceland’s mystical past, learning about the practices and beliefs that have shaped the island’s magical history for centuries. Don’t miss this rare chance to step into the world of Icelandic witchcraft, where myth and reality blend together in an unforgettable experience. Iceland's once-forbidden occult symbols, now popular in tattoos, video games, and business logos, are explored in a new edition of the Galdrabók, featuring Kári Pálsson’s English translation alongside the original Icelandic text and the unpublished Jarðskinna manuscript, with a complimentary copy offered per booking.
