Book Review: Galdrastafir by Kári Pálsson and Giorgia Sottotetti
This lovely, elegant book provides a discussion and translation of a magical text "compiled by the priest, academic, and folklore collector Jónas Jónasson" in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Disclaimer: I'm neither an expert in Icelandic magic, nor am I Icelandic in any way.
The descriptions and essays around the manuscript translation are pretty slim, but useful and well-written. Pálsson and Sottotetti provide interesting context, insights, and considerations without forcing any issues or distracting from their goal of platforming this piece of magical history.
This publication would be useful for anyone interested in learning more about — or even experimenting with — Icelandic staves; but it is also a fun read and light enough to pick up casually, even if only to gather a few tips. I jotted down a handful of the staves, which I look forward to trying out after I've learned a little more about Icelandic magic. In that regard, I don't think that this book provides enough practical advice to serve as a full or sole resource that will take you from knowing nothing about Icelandic magic to a point of practicing a cohesive system of Icelandic magic. Nor is that its goal. I think it is better suited to readers who already have some experience in that field and want another resource to draw from, or to readers who are simply curious and want to explore the subject lightly.
From the very little learning I have around Icelandic magic, and what I've heard experts in the subject speaking about, this book seems to cover a good deal of the 'hot topics' and pain points that arise around Icelandic traditions, (again) without getting overly distracted from the manuscript.
As I was making my way through the section with the translated manuscript, I often found myself wishing for further notes and explanations (even speculative ones) on the terms and ideas arising from the staves and ritual instructions. At the end of the book, I found that all those questions were answered in the glossary! Keep a bookmark back there as you read, for easy referencing. This is a beautiful addition to any magical bookshelf, and another truly elegant publication by Hyldyr. Have you read Galdrastafir? Do you have experience working Icelandic stave magic? What did you think?
i tagged a utility box and two poles with the last of the foraged black tape. the fog is wild today, pretty to look at but feeling more like a slow motion rainstorm than the sweat it will become this summer
i can’t decide between air or fire element
swords or staves

Hello! I have a question for research purposes on making my dummeshi OC, it's bugging me around. C:
Why do mages or magic users need a staff if they can cast a spell without it?

Hello!
Here's an older ask I answered where I discussed the use of staves a little and another one about chanting with an addition by room-surprise that mentions staffs and other magic focus too
But TLDR: It seems that using a staff makes it easier to aim/use certain spells but staves aren't necessary for using magic, I think it also depends on the type of magic being used and how experienced the caster is
Wizard staff stuff :3
