Try out some Icelandic magic spells!

Do you want to be rich? Win over the man or woman of your dreams? Catch out a liar or raise the dead? Then look no further than Sorcerer’s Screed – The Icelandic Book of Magic Spells.

A new English translation by Philip Roughton, Sorcerer’s Screed is the world’s most comprehensive collection of Nordic spells, each accompanied by a diagram and specific instructions for their use and purpose.

Icelanders have been using magic spells from the very first days of the settlement of the country for all manner of purposes, from the everyday to the downright unusual.

The spells in this exciting new book have been part and parcel of Scandinavian history and culture for centuries. Sorcerer’s Screed is a new English edition published this month and is available from Icelandic publisher Lesstofan here.
